This week we were provided with so many opportunities to learn from Big Teachers (like Ms Bustamante) and Little Teachers (like K2, Grade 2, and Grade 4). There are many benefits of children teaching each other. Some benefits are confidence building, learning by teaching, developing social skills and communication skills. Throughout the week learners from Grade 4 took student action to teach us about what it means to be principled, an aspect of our Learner Profile. They read us a story, played with puppets and even made a board game for us to play. How informative and fun! We also had the opportunity to collaborate with Grade 2 and Kindergarten 2 in order to make collages of habitats. We had so much fun working all together. Finally, we had an exciting session with the K2s doing group work. We worked on stations involving number sense, building 3D shapes with playdough, searching for magnetic objects in rainbow rice and collaborating on an art piece reflecting on our favourite moments of the year. Just as K1, we planned out our Personal Projects. We wrote our own stories and individually chose how we wanted to tell them. Some of us are making puppets, acting it out, singing our stories, creating books out of paper or on the iPads! We had to use our planning and thinking skills because we had to tell Ms Bustamante all the materials and resources we would need to make our stories. This way Ms Bustamante can have everything ready for next week when we will independently create our stories following the plans we made. Mixing Rainbow Rice
