Sentence Starters, Seesaw, and Surveys

We took some more time today to explore some more sentence starters. Starting with a simple subject starter, we reviewed and wrote adverb and present participle options before adding AAAWWUBBIS (subordinating conjunctions / dependent clauses) to our list. While we found it was a bit tricky, we will continue to work on varying our sentence starters.

As part of our PYP Assessment Plan at TASOK, which involves monitoring, documenting, measuring, and reporting learning, students will have the opportunity to document learning and build a portfolio through Seesaw. Today, we had our introduction to what will be a terrific tool for reflection and communication. Students were eager to try out the new forum and were equally eager to problem solve. While our first journal entry is intended to document our knowledge of geometry and descriptive writing, our second activity will be a reflection on our first encounter with Seesaw. It was truly a example of problem solvers in action.

We also spent some time today preparing instructions for a school-wide survey we will be doing about problems and problem solvers at TASOK. Materials will be distributed on Thursday. We are already excited about seeing and analyzing the results, which we be collected next Thursday. Stay tuned for the results.
