Part of being an IB student is being well-rounded in their academics as well as social and emotional well-being. Our students navigate through rigorous topics and must learn to maintain a good balance in their lives. Take a look at some examples of what our IB students are learning and doing on an average day.
Math and Science
Math and science – all in one! Our IB students discuss probability, percentages, and more to understand genetics and how hereditary traits work. Learning subjects concurrently is part of the IB model. We’ve often heard someone say they are learning math skills they will never use in their real life. In IB, math and science are not separate subjects but are brought together for a more applicable use. The energy and joy in learning is clear as the students make connections with the more relatable subjects.
Spanish
Spanish time with Senor Melgar is a time to learn a second language in a fun way with visuals, movement, and participation. Students focus on location words and household items to develop their vocabulary. Learning a second language stimulates the brain to develop higher-level reasoning skills. These skills are also needed for complex critical thinking in math, science and language arts.
P.E.
Critical thinking, collaboration, and action in P.E. with Ms. Regan and Ms. Lee! Developing skills that will help students throughout life while having fun playing some football.
Meditation
Reflection time with Mr. Jimenez – Individuals and Societies. Students receive an opportunity to reflect on the new semester and their journey so far as IB 6th graders, all while enjoying the beautiful day.
