During the month of May, our kindergarteners focused on the character trait of Perseverance. We learned that perseverance means continuing to try even when something is difficult or does not go our way the first time. Throughout the month, students practiced not giving up, trying new strategies, and working through challenges in reading, writing, math, and social situations. We are so proud of the growth, determination, and positive attitudes our students showed as they continued to learn and reach their goals!

Transdisciplinary Unit: How We Express Ourselves

Central idea: Knowledge can be expressed in many different ways

Key Concepts: form, responsibility, perspective 

ATL Skills: Communication & skills

This month, our kindergarten students are exploring the IB Transdisciplinary Unit How We Express Ourselves. Through this unit, students are learning that knowledge can be expressed in many different ways. We will investigate how people communicate ideas, feelings, experiences, and learning through speaking, writing, art, movement, music, and other forms of expression.

As we explore the key concepts of form, responsibility, and perspective, students will think about what different forms of expression look like, how we can communicate responsibly, and how people may express the same idea in different ways. Throughout the unit, students will strengthen their communication skills by sharing ideas, listening to others, and expressing their learning through a variety of creative activities. We are excited to see all the unique ways our students share their knowledge and perspectives!
