We have made it! Term 2 is "in the books"!!!
We have only scratched the surface of our new unit of inquiry. This week we have focused on "turning in" in order to learn what the students know.
Activity we worked on this week was having students identify the transdisciplinary skills and learner profile attributes that connect with each task we are working on that day.
Here you see June and Kaku taking their turns sharing with the class.
Throughout the week, students added to our compass points from last week as they were thinking of more they needed to know and suggestions for the unit.

| Akito adding a suggestion: "We need more government clubs." |
 |
Kaku adds something he needs to know: "Do governments start a war?" |

Also throughout out the week, students wanted to add more thoughts to our deconstruction of our lines of inquiry. They began using this activity as a "Chalk Talk," which is a discussion they have with one another but only on paper: no talking!
I absolutely LOVE how curious all G5 students are!!! This week they read one another's questions and reflected, and some questions inspired others!
Also students created visuals of our lines of inquiry,
so we remain focused in our inquiry.

We had a wonderful 1st Annual AIS Talent Show organized by Abroad Student Council. Here are some of the pictures:
I hope you all have a wonderful winter break, and I look forward to seeing you all in January! :)
