A lesson plan for the learner profiles?!

Something small, but I feel like writing about it. I don't know why I become a little teary when I think of this incident that happened in my classroom today.            Yesterday, a thursday, a day when I have the kids almost throughout the day, a day when I do feel overwhelmed a bit I admit!...while I was going through my drawer (which is a mess!) I found a pair of my favourite craft scissors... broken. Someone had attempted to repair it by wrapping masking tape around it. I was upset of course because no one had come to tell me about it. I asked the class who had opened my drawer and taken the scissors and broken it. There was silence. A few eyes popped; a few jaws dropped in utter disbelief. I continued to look at them sternly,  not expecting (unfortunately) any response whatsoever, when from the corner of my eyes I saw a hand slowly, tentatively rise up. I asked the little girl if she had broken it. She said she had. I do expect my kids to be honest, but I spend most parts

New blog for my grade 6 exhibition students

I created a new blog for the students whom I am mentoring for this years PYP exhibition. Please check it out and see how it can be improved. I hope to teach them how to express themselves by using web 2.0 tools. Most of them are eager but a little unsure. Let's see how it goes! What fun! :) http://akamexhibition2011.blogspot.com/
