At Home Reinforcement

How can I, as a PARENT, get involved?

Ask your child about the theme, central idea, and concepts that they are inquiring into … show interest in their units of inquiry and plan activities

around them whenever you can

Encourage your child to “find out” rather than telling them answers
Ask your child about the Learner Profile attributes- point them out in other people, in yourself, and in your children’s actions and speech…
Have conversations with your child. Ask them questions such as, “what is something interesting you did today?”.
Help your child develop their ability to reflect. Reflection is a key element to the learning process and is part of action, an essential element of the PYP curriculum framework.” What makes you say that” and “what would you do differently next time” are some types of reflection questions that parents use to help support students as they are reflecting on their work/actions.

Communicate with us when your child Takes Action At home, through Toddle, or by mail.
Keep an eye out for some of our work that will be posted on Toddle
