I have been out of the blogging world for quite some time now, but I am back and ready to roll!
Update: I will be a 4th grade teacher at an IB PYP school in Minneapolis this school year, and I couldn't be more excited to get started.
Last week, I attended the "Making the PYP Happen" introductory workshop. The PYP (Primary Years Programme) framework is super intense and very inspiring. The PYP has five primary components: knowledge, skills, attitudes, concepts, and action. The goal of the program is to promote international mindedness through inquiry. The training merely scratched the surface of the PYP, and it was still so much! I am eager to apply what I've learned in the classroom and to document it all here on my blog!
I have moved some things into my classroom, but there is so much yet to be done. I want to create a classroom environment that is simple/streamlined yet engaging and invigorating...that allows opportunities for collaboration and exploration...that promotes students to grow into their identity as readers...that students can build upon and make their own. I believe the classroom environment has a HUGE impact on student learning, so I feel I have a lofty task ahead of me!
Another update with photos will come soon!
