After reading ‘Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics’ by @pgliljedahl - here are the first graders using vertical non permanent surfaces to show their thinking. How can we use models to show our thinking in mathematics? Thanks for the book recommendation @mathsmakesense !

We don’t give math homework but parents are always asking how they can support at home. Here are some engaging and educational games for them to play together, anytime, anywhere! #PYP #IteachMath

Grade 1BC is currently obsessed with pop up books, so we decided we should inquire into how to make them to show our understanding of our UOI - Home is Where the Heart is 🥰 #PYPchat #studentagency #inquiry

When you go down to visit @LouNerd3 in Early Years and are reminded of @kjinquiry “Play is the purest form of inquiry” Important that this applies to First Grade too! #PYP #EYtalking #inquiry #pypchat #EYmatters

This year I’ve been working on my @canva skills to build parent and community understanding of what learning looks like in EY. Sharing these infographics in response to student learning has really strengthened our home school partnerships. #EYFS #EYtalking #EYmatters #EYtagteam

Tell me you’re a PYP school without telling me you’re a PYP school… A birthday card shared with me during parent conferences 🥰 #pypchat @ibpyp #learnerprofile

Today we looked for patterns in the hundred chart After, the Ss self differentiated by choosing to use the chart to help complete puzzles. I asked how it felt to use their knowledge of patterns to solve the puzzles, one S whispered “powerful” 🥳 @mathsmakesense @ISLuxembourg

We’ve been exploring how art can convey a message and how sometimes the title can give us a hint of what the artist might have been thinking or feeling. Here is 1BC’s collaborative artwork inspired by Howardena Pindell called ‘Who We Are Together’ 💜 @ISLuxembourg #pyp

Where are my #PYP people? @JAdamsLux and I are trying to decide…can a quote be a central idea? Any thoughts? @ISLuxembourg @AnnevanDam1966 @SeanPYPParis @SuzanneTEdu @Mrs_Gilchrist @LouNerd3 @ericagrainger_ @ibpyp

Just finished the amazing course ‘Building Addition for Young Learners’ with @pwharris and would highly recommend it to all Early Years math teachers. Hoping that one day we can learn from you in person in Luxembourg!

Bubbles & books! #LearningJourney on the ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki. Preface: “take the passions of young children seriously and honor them in the context of daily classroom life.” 🧵 Slow progress as each sentence is oozing with wisdom to reflect on! @kjinquiry

Bubbles & books! #LearningJourney on the ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki. Ch 1: “Leading with inquiry means we value our adult learners; we lean in, listen more, and talk less.” 🧵 Feeling inspired already @jess_vanceEDU 🥳

Considering how I model this in my own context both as a leader and a learner. It’s so important to model to the students that staff are always learning and to model to my team that I don’t always have all the answers. Reflecting on how to make our shared thinking visible👇🏻👇🏻2/3

Aiming toward creating a collaborative staff display where we can co-construct meaning, share ideas, and inspire each other to help us achieve our shared goal. Would love to see how others have displayed staff thinking and learning… 3/3
