IB Mission Statement

"The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right."

Hooray for JKs!

Today we began the day with morning circle time and healthy snacks.
In Language Arts, students review sound and formation of "Rr".
We brainstorm a list of words that begin with r. Then students completed a worksheet where they practiced writing the blends ra, ru and also the words rat and rug.
In Math we start to work on a Number Book. Students will be writing an especific number and drawing/gluing the correct amount of objects.
In our Unit of Inquiry we talked about IB attitudes and put up our Attitude Tree:
