Hello my students-first day of class.

 


Hello!

Before my presentation below about something I care about-doing amazing experiments in the upper stratosphere, students will be asked to write something they care about.

Look around the classroom. I have hung up posters reminding us of the IB Learner Profile. What do you see?  We see that an IB Learner is: 

an Inquirer

Balanced

Knowledgeable

a Thinker

a Communicator

Principled

Open Minded

Caring

Reflective

a Risk Taker

Courageous


I believe the most important characteristic is CARING.

On a card I pass out students will be asked to write their name one side, and on the other side a single sentence about  something they care about-it could be anything-a subject they like, a hobby, anything they would like me to know. 

Something they really care about. 

Caring learners show empathy, compassion, and respect toward the needs and feelings of others. They have a personal commitment to service, and they act to make a positive difference to the lives of others and to the environment.

Do you have a talent, maybe you enjoy art, and your artwork can bring joy to others...maybe you enjoy sharing new ideas and helping others to learn, maybe you would like to be a teacher...maybe you care about creating things, like creating computer games that you share with others...maybe you care about being a good friend to others...write it down, and share it with me.

Thanks!

Now for the presentation.
