Tool+Box

List here any workshop tools that can be taken away and used in your classroom:

//**Clock Partners:**// Students are able to find buddies that correspond with a number on the clock. When a task is set students can then be asked to go and work with a 'clock buddy'. This makes partner selection not only fun but easier. The only difficulty arises when students 'run out of' people with free times.

//**North Star Story:**// //**Peter H Reynolds**// The powerpoint presentation about a girl who travels far. It relates to our PYP journey. It is a story filled with metaphors for learning through life. No matter how much we learn we still have room to question and learn more.

//**The PYP Tree:**// Where are you now? A tool to reflect where you feel you are on your PYP journey.

//**Wonder Wall:**// Place student questions/drawings on post it notes and place it on the "Wonder Wall." Use picture books at openers on the smart board or just read it
