Year 3 students have been reflecting on our PYP- Who we are unit about group decision making and the way our choices and decisions affect the life of others.

As their final project, they read a story (It's not Fair) and reflected about attitudes and actions students have in school that are prejudicial to others. Some of the brainstormed attitudes were RESPECT and EMPATHY. 

Year 3 students think that everyone should "put themselves in the shoes of the others" before acting. Almost all students agreed that respect is the most important attitude when thinking about the well-being of the school community.

Children prepared WARNING posters to display around the school as a reminder for their peers about the importance of reflecting before acting. 

The posters will be placed in the halls of the school before easter and will be left in the halls for 2 weeks so everyone in school has the right to reflect with us about FAIRNESS!

Homework Helper! A ajuda que você estava precisando.


Vivemos em uma época de grandes avanços tecnológicos e a rapidez de como tudo está mudando, para muitos é assustadora.

Como pais e educadores, precisamos estar envolvidos nesse processo de descobertas através do uso da tecnologia. É necessária uma maior participação na exploração desse mundo, mediando o uso do computador, orientando como utilizar essa ferramenta de forma segura, ensinando a pensar criticamente e a agir com responsabilidade. Mostrando assim, como essa experiência pode ser produtiva.

Nós da ABA Global School vamos ajudar vocês nesse processo de descobertas. Este espaço foi feito para servir de guia para um mundo de possibilidades online. É possível usar a internet como aliada nas tarefas de casa, nas pesquisas escolares e nos momentos de lazer, ajudando as crianças a se desenvolverem e aprenderem sempre mais.

Para acessar o Homework Helper, basta entrar no estudenaaba.com. Lá vocês irão encontrar o link da Escola bilíngue, para então, acessar nossa área restrita ao inserir o CPF do responsável e a data de nascimento do aluno.

We hope you enjoy it!
Esperamos que curtam!

Camilla Cream...

(March in Review - post 2)

Camilla Cream helped us observe the way people feel. 

She helped kids understand the importance of listening to self. Children understood and expressed their feelings in many ways, making sure they considered their own opinions and not those of others.

Here are some pictures of the way children pictured Camilla. Written pieces also include children's own reflections about they way they had been feeling lately.

Great Job, Year 3!

Saint Patrick´s art...

Children loved this day!

Heart maps

Heart Maps

Last week, year 3 students reflected about themselves using heart maps.

They were asked to reflect about special moments and interests they had in life. 

After reflecting, they illustrated their hearts and wrote a little text about their preferences.

This experience helped them understand differences and similarities between people and also helped students understand better the special relations their peers have with holidays, activities and food, for example.

Great job Year 3!

XOXO,

Ms Taty

Ecology...

Hey Year 3,

All life on Earth is interconnected. 

We all depend on each other to live. 

It is really important to know more about the 5 kingdoms of life in order to understand these connections.

After researching, don't forget to...

1- Use the site and video to research.

2- Prepare an A4 sized poster to share in class.

3- Answer our questions: 

* What is Ecology?

* What is an Ecosystem?

4- Bring your research to class tomorrow.

See you!

Hugs,
