We are finishing out our first quarter using thinklaw. The kids have had to consider a lot of different real life cases and be able to take the perspective of both the plaintiff and the defendant. We will finish out this module of learning with a mock trial in class!
6th Grade IB
Our 6th grade students have been working on Global Awareness Project in math class. They researched a county in Africa and answered questions about their culture. The information collected was used to create ratios, double number lines, and tables showing the data collected. Way to go 6th grade students
The IB Learner Profile aims to develop students who are inquirers. Students who are inquirers nurture their curiosity, developing skills for inquiry and research. They know how to learn independently and with others. Inquirers learn with enthusiasm and sustain their love of learning throughout life.
