The International Baccalaureate (IB) PYP (Primary Years Program) at OWN 3 prepares and develops inquiring, knowledgeable, confident, and caring young people. IB program at OWN 3 enables teachers to develop resilient, self-motivated young people who have the knowledge, skills, and sense of purpose they need to thrive throughout their lives and contribute to making the world a better place.
Please see below for more information about what IB work with the Support Staff looks like at our school!

Principled
We are principled because we are honest with one another, fair, and respect the dignity of individuals and communities, and take responsibility for our actions.

English Language Learners (ELLs) develop their language skills through listening, speaking, reading, and writing experiences. In January, students explored the concepts of being principled and the pillar of truth by participating honestly, using both English and Spanish respectfully, and supporting their peers.
Principled Learning
Expectations - Since students and teachers create classroom agreements at the beginning of the year, groups revisit the previous expectations and how they can further embed integrity, honesty, fairness, and respect. It was determined that students should listen respectfully when others speak, taking undisrupted turns when conversing, providing the best answers with supporting evidence, and acknowledging different perspectives and opinions.
Student Support - Classmates work to help each other understand skills and strategies in the classroom and beyond. In Kindergarten ENL, students were tasked with defining and identifying concepts such as categorizing main ideas/key details, explaining and sorting nouns, and creating complete sentences using the present and past tenses. They worked together to create graphic organizers that would showcase their learning throughout their lessons. Take a look at their work below!
