Reflection - how we started

We were all struggling at the begining and now look where we are! We are going to go back to the past to remember what all we did, and how our lovely teachers guided and helped us.
As I can remember, we first were teaching each other and learning from the board, the PYP profiles, the attitudes, the concepts, the skills, etc. and all those important things that we should know by now. Then I guess we decided the performences we'll do: dance, drama play, etc. After that, we shared good sites we found during laptop time. And then we were deciding the Theme, Unit Title, Central Idea, and inquiry points. We really struggled a lot to make the central idea as we had to come up with a good one. And we came up with a lovely central idea. Next we wrote individualy "How best might we learn" and the timeline/plan. Then was what I want to learn. We were then making our questions following the concepts. We kept on including things in our folder (the answers of our individual questions) until Earth Day came and we brought news about it and helped the Earth. After more days passed, that's when we realized that our inquiry points weren't inqeuiry points - they were - student qeustions! So we quickly changed our student questions which we thought they were inquiry points to real lovely inquiry points. Then we concentrated in our performences. After that, we found topics that we are actually going to talk in front of the parents, because, 28 children can't talk about the same thing over and over again. And we now are researching and researching into the deapth of our topic. We are also making charts and models. But that's not all, we were always taking action for the Earth. So now we are found here, at this time which is completely different from when we just started.
One more thing, I'd like to thank all the teachers who helped and guided us so nicely:

• Miss Poonam - for helping us so much by giving us ideas websites. She helped each one of us in the class. I really thank her.
• Mr. Joseph - for guiding us towards beautiful songs.
• Mr. Terrence - for helping us in our drama play.
• Miss Sabha & Shubba - for guiding the dancing students to a perfect end.
• Miss Prita - for helping us make good charts and posters.
• Miss Lakshmi - for guiding the students like Miss Poonam did.
