International Day of People with Disabilities

 During this international day, grade 6 students visited “Step Together Learning Community” a school specialized for students with disabilities.
First our students had a tour in the school, attended a lecture about the school’s mission, and watched a documentary that illustrated how to deal and teach students with disabilities. Then our students had the chance to build new friendships with students having disabilities. They sang, played basketball, ate breakfast, and even attended classes together.
The aim of this visit is to allow our students to accept and appreciate others regardless any differences.

 

Learning Problem Solving through QR Codes

My fifth graders downloaded QR reader and generator application on their tablets and this is when fun begun!
My students used this application to scan and read QR codes to discover that the codes were word problems. They also scanned the resources found their Harcourt math book.
Finally my students used the QR generator to synthesize their own word problem and challenged their friends to solve it.
When technology and creativity are present learning will be much more fun!!

Congratulations KSPS!!
