Canadian International School and K11 are proud to exhibit CIS students' art works. The art show's main theme is "make your mark." The students explore what it means to leave their mark in the world through lines, dots, and colours. Through making their mark, the students learned and explored about different artists and techniques to broaden their artistic and knowledge. Moreover the students have learned to take risks and seek challenges by making their mark.

With the recent partnership between CIS and K11, Grade 7, 8, and 9 students were able to visit K11 art gallery. K11 art gallery exhibits contemporary art works which are very different and challenge the normal mindset. CIS students experienced art pieces which involved technology and sound. They learned that art comes in many different forms - not just paintings and pictures. The artists' backgrounds are as diverse as our students - each with unique background and stories to tell. We are proud and happy about our partnership with K11 to showcase CIS's art talents.

There are some great websites which will make your classroom/lesson to be more fun and engaging. The following websites have great tools for teachers to make classroom games for the teachers to use as review materials.
1. Waygook - tons of PPT game templates which you can edit to your liking. http://www.waygook.org/index.php/board,87.0.html 2. Rusnak Creative - high quality PPT games https://www.rusnakcreative.com/ As I get more experience with teaching, the more I find that I have less time to really self-reflect on my teaching. This post is just to remind myself and a motivator to really keep up with it. Because my students deserve it.
On November 6th, my school held a school festival unlike I have yet to see in my teaching career. Due to the immense size of the school (roughly 950 students), the school was able to put on a 5 hours long theatre production ranging from traditional Korean drum to plays. Nearly all school staffs were involved. It only took about 3 weeks of practice and rehearsal for everything to come together. Truly impressive considering the teachers and students still had to make progress with the curriculum. I find that Korean elementary school student to be very vocal (very loud at times), and passionate. My Grade 3 students decided to sing about the English lessons they learned. I believe that these experiences are valuable for the students as it helps to fortify the students authentic learning. Overall, very well done!
Recently came across these amazing YouTube lectures about how video games can positively impact education. Surprisingly they discuss about how games can be a great tool for teacher to engage students in an individual manner and practice the differentiation to a greater degree. Part 1: An End to Fear |
