One of my favorite aspects of the International Baccalaureate Organization Primary Years Program is its integration. That means that when we are learning mathematics, we are also learning science and visual arts; when we are learning music, we are also learning language and history. The possibilities for deep, meaningful learning are endless!
This week, it has been the visual arts finding their way into all of our learning.
I noticed that Suheda using her graphic design skills to enhance her writing.
Miray and Bushra applied technology and research strategies to support themselves drawing storyboards for our stop motion animation movie.
Sule's art skills are helping her to draw models in mathematics which are more accurate and useful.
We will be applying our skills as much as possible as we prepare our exhibit for the big Jinsho/JIES Art Exhibition on 5-6 February.
On Friday, all the students together assembled and raised the colorful roof flags for the exhibit.
It is hard to believe that this inquiry is halfway finished! I've been very impressed with the Uniters' growing independence and confidence. They will need those attitudes and more to be successful in their PYP Exhibition.
We will be having an Exhibition Parents and Community meeting in February. I will send an email when the exact date and time are scheduled.
