It has been FOREVER since one of us has posted, but we have been busy little bees teaching teaching teaching! I just wanted to share a couple things that have been going on in my classroom recently.  We are an IB school, so I am always trying to find ways in the classroom to discuss the IB learner profile or promote IB attitudes.  These are basically just good characteristics that we encourage our students to encompass.  I created these fun IB interactive cards for each of my table groups.  After we do an activity or lesson, I have the students pull out the envelope with the cards with it and cooperatively choose an IB attribute of the learner profile that they had to use.  They have to be able to back up their answer because each group chooses one representative to stand and deliver their card.  Then we have a short classroom discussion on their characteristics that they had to demonstrate in order to be a communicator, thinker, risk-taker, etc.  Below is a picture of what some of the cards look like.

These cards with the instructions are located HERE!

Even if you do not work at an IB school, it would be fun to put character words on these cards or words that you want to promote in your classroom.
