My students are incredible. Being part of an International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB-PYP) school community has helped my students grow into incredibly caring, reflective, and empathetic individuals who want to make the world a better place through inquiry and action. Every day, my students are working on developing their understanding of universal concepts like reflection, perspective, and responsibility.
My school is an incredibly diverse place, and this diversity makes it a unique, vibrant place for students to learn and grow.
Students are from a range of backgrounds. Some come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, while others are living in more financially secure households. About a third of my students are Latino; another third are black or Somali; another third are white. About a third of my students are English language learners (ELLs). Many are considered advanced learners in need of advanced differentiation.
My Project
My students need some supplies for our after school detectives club, Case Crackers! In this club, we play the Nancy Drew mystery computer games among other "detectivey" and forensic-science themed activities. First, we need some headphone splitters. I currently have splitters made for two students. Students are working in groups of 4-7, so we need splitters that can accommodate larger groups. These ones will do the trick! With these splitters, all students will be able to hear the game they are playing.
Second, we need some pens, which students will use to record their brilliant detective work!
Students use notepads to take notes with suspects' names, possible codes, and more! These pens are perfect for note taking.
