Taking Action

Action is a very significant aspect of the IB learning process.

During each UOI, students from the class will be celebrated as the “Action Stars”, which means that they used what they learned and applied it to the “real world.”

The purpose of this initiative is to help further knowledge about what has been learned within the classroom. Example: If we are learning about recycling, students might go home and tell you that they want to implement a recycling program with you at home, or they may do something simple like telling you that something you were throwing in the garbage may be recycled.

Action comes in many forms; it might be something small to something very large, but as long as the children understand the concepts, action is important no matter the size!

If your child shows action at home I want to know! Please email me and we can celebrate these amazing students together!
