Great to greet the S’s with a in-person maskless smile after a year & a half. And also my colleagues Sangeeta H. Nanwani Yay!

It’s been awhile PLN! The yr’s flying. S’s first in-person SLC Yokohama International School since when they were in Grade 1. S’s were so confident w/ sharing about their learning! #pyp #grade4

S’s worked together on the build-up to a collaborative story w/ Mr. McNaughton HUSChennai Yau-Jau Ku on #sdg6 Thanks to Travelling Tales for the opportunity. #yislearns #elemEDUmeet Adobe Express Excited to see how the story progress.

Day 5 of #12daystwitter - I think I would like to continue to have stacks of books that are relevant, current, & where students see themselves. My hopes & dreams would include TCK centered protagonists & themes. I would ❤️ to write some, so if you have ideas- send them my way!

Kicking off #HourOfCode w/ some unplugged activities from Code.org If/Then… #yislearns #elemEDUmeet

Day 1 of #12DaysTwitter 2022 My name is Amy, HR G4 inquiry teacher at YIS, Japan; I Iove to create & play alongside S's & other T's. Currently deep into exploring Earth's natural changes #HTWW
Interesting Fact: I spent a day cuddling teacup pigs at a pig's cafe. #VPASZ

Thanks for the match Skype A Scientist w/ a volcanologist Andrea Verolino. We inquired more into the changing Earth and its impact #howtheworldworks #pyp We learned about underwater volcanoes, temperatures of magma & how scientists study the Earth #yislearns #elemEDU

After reading the book, Peace is an Offering, S’s expressed what peace means to them and/or ways to share peace. As each learner shared, we used Jenga blocks to build our peace tower. Happy #internationaldayofpeace #yislearning #KindnessMatters #grade4

Thanks Chris Gadbury for moderating.
It was a fun night to connect #PubPDAsia

A4: Anything involving glitter. Not a fan! Love crafts but maybe do it outside or a designated glitter room #PubPDasia

A3: Allowing time to listen to the S’s to help foster their creativity w/ their time & resources to explore & play. Access to parks & resources (natural artifacts) & give choices. #PubPDAsia

Q2: I would like to have anything teaching related PD that involves in-person & interactive. Non- teaching- outdoor related adventures/experiences #PubPDAsia

Checked in for #PubPDAsia at Baird Taproom #yislearning

It’s TODAY…PubPDasia! I can’t wait to see you all after school and learn from all the talented educators across our beautiful continent! #PubPDasia

Excited for #pubPDasia to be back on!

Kicking off our #sharingtheplanet w/ a 3-2-1 #thinkingroutine . S’s had some interesting ideas & wonderings to share: “I wonder if what actions we can take to reverse the negative impacts.” #thinkers #inquirer Yokohama International School Excited to see this unit unfold!

3 weeks in the books of year 15 of teaching. Have a stack of books to read & what better way than on a beach! Finding some good #readalouds for the school year!
