Fun and learning with Wixie.com: Part I

-

At 'Kelem International School (KIS), we designate two weeks per term for project-based learning (PBL).

This term, the first grade PBL theme was Natural Resources. Students read and watched videos to learn why natural resources are important and why we need to conserve them. They also picked one natural resource to learn more about.

They used the website www.wixie.com to express some of their learning. Wixie proved to be a fun and engaging media for young ones to communicate their thoughts.

Here are some screenshots of what my awesome first-graders produced (in alphabetical order of student names).

Well done, first grade 'Kelemawians!

This PBL has been a great opportunity for students to follow their interests and learn more about a topic of their choice. They also had the freedom as to how they will express their learning using various forms of communication, namely, written words, images, and voice recordings. The project has also helped students build their digital literacy skills which are essential 21st century skills. 


Love life, love learning!

A Kindergartner’s Guide: A Dozen Things You Should Know about Meess

-
Dear fresh kindergartner, About to embark on your first day of school? No need to fret! Here is a list of things you should know and remember about someone who will soon become an important person in your school life, your meess.   meess :  (noun) a person who teaches and/or cares for young children in a formal setting, often at a school. The word is derived from how Amharic speakers often pronounce the word, “Miss”. It is pronounced as “Miss” where the short i is replaced with a long e. 1.     She may be tall or short, chubby or thin, young or old. She may be well-educated; she may not. She may love kids or not. She may have always wanted to be a meess, or she may have become one because she could not find another job. Regardless, you will find traces of her influence in your life for many years to come. 2.     A meess is someone you may end up remembering fondly for the rest of your life. A meess is someone you may not remember at all....

If Letters Were People

-
Instructional videos made for kids often present letters as cartoon characters that can walk and talk. This helps grab the attention of young learners and keep them interested as they learn their alphabet. It also makes it easier for kids to remember what they learned. As a teacher, it comes naturally to me to personify letters, especially when I am teaching very young kids. However, what if we took the personification of letters to another level. Do letters have personalities? Do the shapes of certain letters resemble certain personality patterns? Here is what the shapes of some Amharic letters make me think of, what I imagine their personalities would be like if these letters were people.  1) Home ሀ ሁ ሂ ሃ ሄ ህ ሆ በ ቡ ቢ ባ ቤ ብ ቦ These letter families are similar in that they have two vertical strokes and an opening either at the top or the bottom. ሀ and በ, in general,  strike me as plain and boring. This might be because they don’t have any twists or comp...

Beauty in the Eyes of Third Graders

I could start this post by writing "It has been said... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". However, I won't do that because that would be quoting a cliche and a crime against good writing. There is also the added pressure that I am an English teacher and that I should be good at this, even setting a good example for my students whom I would tell to steer clear of starting their essays with cliches. Let me start over. I will do so by quoting something a little less cliche and a little more boring ... a curriculum. As part of the underlying values of Finland's education, the Finnish curriculum states that "Basic education supports the pupil's growth as a human being who strives for truth, goodness, beauty, justice and peace". Now, which word stood out to you from that glorious quote? Well, I don't blame you if you thought "pupil". (Seriously, it is beyond me why they couldn't use a more tongue-friendly word like... I don't know......
