I hope that your day was a good one.  I missed you today!

Exploring pictures of potential conflict, and discussing what conflict may be occurring, and how this may impact the people involved.  This led us to an understanding that conflicts may not always involve more than one person, and they may not always involve a physical altercation.

 
We then responded to the prompt below with sticky notes!  Students were able to identify both negative and positive changes that can be caused because of conflict.

We practiced for Night of Expressions yesterday!  Even though we knew that it was cancelled, the class voted to share their pieces with each other and video each one to share with you.  This is a small group practice session, and each student was meant to present one at a time.  Unfortunately, with school closed for now, we will not be sharing these pieces.  Students can access their pieces in the Google Drive, and share them with you at home. :)

Sharing with each other some areas we have shown growth and areas that we want to improve on during this term!  We then completed a reflection on our Learner Profile Attributes.

Sometimes it's fun to just read on the floor with friends!

 We dissected our Central Idea, and worked to come up with a meaning for the word orientation!

Students worked with a partner, and each partner sketched the same space object!  The catch was that only one partner could zoom in for a closer look.  This helped us get an understanding of how location can affect perspective.

 No art....No problem!!!  We used our knowledge and understanding of symmetry to design beautiful pieces!

The Black History Month Living Wax Museum was an absolutely amazing event!

IB says that we all have skills to learn that help us approach learning and be successful!  We explored those categories and determined the times in school that we are given to practice those skills.

 These are some pieces of art created by our class that are hung by the art room!  So amazing!

 Naked Mole Rat: The Rock Experience at The Alliance Theater did not disappoint!

We are designing coffee table tops with tiles for a furniture store to practice adding and subtracting fractions!
