Our second graders are truly embracing the IB profile attribute of "Knowledgeable" through their love of reading! Students are given time throughout the day to read, allowing them to explore a variety of topics and expand their understanding of the world around them. They also have the opportunity to check out books from the library, giving them even more chances to gain new knowledge. Whether it’s diving into fiction or exploring non-fiction, students are becoming more curious and informed each day. It’s exciting to see them connect what they read with what they learn in other subjects!

We want to give a special shout-out to our second graders for their perfect attendance! Showing up consistently to school is a true demonstration of the IB learner profile attribute of "Principled." Students are making a commitment to their learning by being present and ready to work every day. This dedication to being on time and engaged in class helps them grow academically and personally. Keep up the great work, second graders – your hard work and discipline are truly shining through!

Our second graders are working hard to develop the IB profile attribute of "Risk-Takers." Recently, we challenged students to step outside their comfort zones and work in groups to design their very own food trucks! Each group created a menu with prices, making decisions about what food to offer and how to price it. Once the trucks were ready, students took turns running their food trucks while other students were given play money to go around and buy food. The real challenge came when students had to figure out how much they could buy with the money they had. This activity encouraged them to take risks, make decisions, and problem-solve while learning about budgeting and teamwork. It was a fun and engaging way for students to embrace challenges and be creative!
