The Kindergarten students are
working on an IB Unit of Inquiry that will last approximately 4
weeks. During this time students
will be involved in inquiry-based, transdisciplinary learning (integrating
subject areas).
Some of the subjects that will be integrated into this unit
are:
Social Studies, Language Arts, Math, Drama, Social
Responsibility and Art
The IB Primary Years Program Theme: Who We Are
The Central Idea for the
Unit of Inquiry: Relationships can provide a
sense of connectedness.
Throughout this unit, students will participate in
activities focusing on:
·
Roles and responsibilities of class members, family
members, and friends
·
Healthy Relationships
·
Relationships between numbers and things
Attributes of the Learner Profile that we will be
focusing on developing during this unit:
-
Communicator - Listening to others and
participating in discussions, role-plays,
surveys, etc.
- Open-minded - Opportunities to appreciate differences and
similarities in relationships
How to assist your child throughout this Unit of Inquiry:
- Talk
about your family (e.g. jobs, history, look at family photos, origins of names)
- Send
in a photo of your child as a baby and another photo of your whole family for
display in the classroom
- Suggested
questions: Who is in our family?
What are some of your family responsibilities?
How is our family connected to each
other?
