Las Positas Updates

Happy Friday
Happy Friday~
I hope you had a wonderful time meeting with your teachers and getting to know your child's accomplishments and struggles a little bit better. Only when we work together, can we truly have the most efficient support system for our children. Thank you for reinforcing what we do at school at home. Also, thank you for communicating with us the various information that help us support your children better.
What Makes An Inquirer?
This month we continue to celebrate the IB Learner Profile Attribute of being an inquirer. "Inquirers are students who have developed a natural curiosity. They want to know more about the world. They are willing to engage in explorations that will lead to discoveries. They are eager to ask the questions that will help them answer those questions. All children are natural inquirers when they are very young, but traditional school environments sometimes re-programme children to be students who do not seek learning on their own.
Inquirers do more than just ask questions. They also have the skills to seek answers. They may do research. They may read a book, perform a small experiment, or pull something apart until they have found the answer. They do this because they actively love learning. Their inquiry comes from the natural joy of discovery.
Children who remain inquirers throughout their time in school will go on to become lifelong learners. They have also developed a natural skill that will benefit them their entire life. They make better workers in the workplace and can eventually become leaders."
