Ibteaching2nd

This is a unit I created to start off our 2nd grade year well! I discovered that in grades 1st-3rd, students are really struggling to solve problems on their own. So often they need a teacher or adult to solve the problem for them. I created this problem solving resource to teacher students the proper way to communicate and solve a problem independently. We use this as part of our IB Who We are Unit. Included: -Friendship lesson plan -I-message definition and poster -Compromise poster -Win/Lose

Per request I created my alphabet with lower case letters. I created this to use in my IB themed classroom. Each letter of the alphabet stands for something IB, international or educationally focused. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I originally created this journal to help my 2nd grade class keep track of the IB units we were learning. I also found I needed a simple reference guide for them to look at to find meaning for the many IB definitions they learn in the PYP. (Attitudes, attributes, key concepts, skills, etc.) I have adjusted this journal to line up with any PYP year K-5th Grade. It allows students to keep track of each UOI they study. Includes: -List of attitudes and simple definitions -List of attributes an

Includes: -IB unit planner information -Book resources -Mask planning sheets -Crest planning sheets -Family tradition template -Family history chart -Family recipe form -Ancestor interview

Students keep track of a time when they are being "IB" There are 10 different small pages where students get to draw a picture and write a quick description of when they have been caring, inquiring, reflective, risk taking, etc. Print this book back to back and then cut and staple it together.

This is a checklist of things you should see inside of an IB PYP classroom

6 posters for the IB PYP transdciplinary themes

This is the ABC that I created to hang up in my classroom. I have been looking for one that represents the PYP and decided I might as well just create my own. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Clip chart to use for classroom behavior management. This clip uses the IB PYP terminology to support the reflection process. Students move their clip up or down depending on behavior.

How the World works classroom newsletter on Balance and Motion. Gives all Unit of Inquiry basic information, activities, vocabulary, summative assessment plans, etc. Great to post in the classroom or send to parents.

A cute form I created to help students observe and think about the lesson or project at hand.

I made these IB pyp profile attributes to change up my room. -Butterfly theme -Posters with picture and child definition -Decoration

Attitudes grow into the attributes for a fun bulletin board!

IB unit of inquiry newsletter to communicate to parents what students are learning in class. It is a great overview for each unit. This unit is a 2nd grade IB under the transdisciplinary theme: Where we are in place and time and focuses on Ancestors and Culture.

Behavior Clip Chart used in IB PYP classrooms. Help to support classroom management using IB terminology. Students raise and lower pins depending on their behavior.

A behavior clip chart that uses the IB language. Students move their pins throughout the day. They pin up for making great choices and move their pin down with poor choices.

I created this for my own classroom. The IB attitudes are the grass and the IB attributes are the flowers. Hope you enjoy!

I use this to help guide my students during our problem solving STEM unit.

I use this with my kids to help them plan and reflect group projects-If you send me specifics, I am happy to create one for you to match your project.

I use this in my classroom when we are observing pictures or something new. This process really helps students start to wonder and ask really great in depth questions.
