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

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

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!

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.

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.
