This past week, was our first full week at the Sotogrande International School. It was really nice to start getting into a routine. In being at an International Baccalaureate school, each of our grade levels have different themes that we are teaching. Christa and I are in PY 1 classrooms. Our theme is Materials so the students are learning about plastic, wood, metal and their properties. This theme is also incorporated into every content subject throughout the school day. Alyssa and Ashley are in PY 5 classrooms. Their theme is celebrations so they are teaching about the different ways people celebrate and different holidays that happen throughout the world. Chelsea is teaching in a PY 3 classroom and their theme is time. They have been learning about the different time zones, and how you grow in throughout periods of time.
The themes usually last about six weeks. Sotogrande International School has six main themes for every grade level through the year. Even though this is very new concept for most of us I think we are all settling into the concepts and routine well.
