Musical Bookcases: A Groovy Way to Discover Reading Adventures- Anju Dutt

Objective of the Learning Engagement

To encourage students to explore different sections of the library, discover new books and genres, and develop an openness to diverse reading choices in a fun and engaging way.

Details of the Learning Engagement:

📚🎶 Musical Bookcases in Action! 🎶📚
Grade 6 had a blast in the Library with Musical Bookcases—a little crazy, super fun, and totally interactive!!
As the music played, students moved around, discovering new sections, fresh titles, and exciting genres they might not have explored before.

It was a great way for kids to get up and move into different areas and browse through different section of the library, and examine books they may not have explored before and get to know new titles and genres. AND....check out books!

Impact of the engagement on students and reflection as a teacher:

Many students tend to stick to familiar sections of the library, rarely venturing into other areas. This activity breaks that habit by encouraging them to move beyond their comfort zones and explore books they might have otherwise ignored
This activity encouraged them to explore new corners of our collection , discovering books beyond their usual preferences. By selecting and reading from a diverse selection, they gained exposure to different genres and sections of the library. It was a perfect blend of exploration, music, and fun!!

Making Biology Fun: A Hands-On Approach to Cell Organelles- MYP 1 Science-Bhavesh Bhadaraka

Objective of the Learning Engagement: The objective of this learning engagement is to help students understand the structure and functions of cell organelles through an analogical approach by comparing cell organelles to components of a house, café, or office. This approach will foster creativity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of cellular biology. Students will also develop their inquiry skills by acting as Socratic thinkers, generating critical questions for further exploration. Details of the Learning Engagement: Project Task : Students were assigned to build a sustainable model of a house, café, or working office using household materials. Analogical Connection: Students then connected components of their models to cell organelles, such as: Cell membrane: Entrance/security gate (controls what goes in and out) Nucleus: Manager’s office (controls overall operations) Mitochondria: Power supply room (provides energy) Endoplasmic reticulum: Hallways for staff moveme...
