Today we learned about the learner profile of Caring. Students discussed what Caring meant to them and we talked about what IB's idea of caring is:

I care about how other people feel, I help when they need me. I want others around me to be happy.

We then discussed the attitude of empathy and how it complements caring:

Putting myself in someone else's shoes.


We read the story the kissing hand and discussed where and how we saw caring and empathy being shown in the story:

We then made our own lists of how we can be caring friends at home and at school.

Once we completed this activity we added it to our IB binders along with 3 pieces of work from our simple machines unit
The first piece being one that displayed our best work, the second being one the showed we worked really hard on something and the third being one piece we think we need to improve on.

I also printed off a picture of them with their simple machine so they were able to choose that as one of their pieces.

Tomorrow is our math test so students were able to ask questions and finish their review
