Immigration Stories

Last week PYP 6 students in Jd Europa had the amazing opportunity to hear 2 immigration stories from students' relatives.

Layla's grandfather, Mr. De La Lastra, shared his life story of war in Spain as a child and deciding to come to Brazil for the opportunity growing his hair salon business.

Natasha and Yasmin's father, Mr. Melnik, came and told the story of their grandpa, Majer, and his journey through Europe, Russia and the Middle East to escape the Nazis. Unable to find good work in the post war rubble, Majer journeyed to Brazil to start a new life. 

In PYP 6 Sigma, Isabella Santos's grandmother, Lydia, told her story of traveling to Israel from Romania then to Brazil. 

PYP 6 Beta will have relatives coming in this week to share their stories. Check next week for their pictures!!!

Unit 6 Provocations

Hello PYP 6 Community!!

Last week we had two provocations to begin our new unit about 

human migration. 

Put simply, a provocation provokes! 

They can provoke feelings, thoughts, discussions, questions, interests, creativity, ideas, and more!

Provocation #1 

Classroom Invasion and Wandering Classroom 

(response to challenge)

• Our classrooms were 'invaded' by other students and we were forced to leave the space. Students were asked to pack up any items they deemed necessary for the day. Then the next several classes were conducted in different parts of the campus, as we no longer had a 'home'. Afterwards a meaningful discussion was had about the student's experiences of 'migrating' around the school, which items they packed (or didn't!) that they found to be necessary, and how it all related to the concept of adaptation.

Provocation #2 

Denied Entry 

(response to opportunity)

• Students were given the opportunity to leave the classroom and attend a 'special' lesson utilizing new educational technology in another classroom located on campus. Students who chose to go encountered a problem when trying to enter the other building. Mrs. Weber was kind enough to help us out (thank you!) and acted as a 'border patrol agent', denying entry to the building for some students (who brought a rubber which wasn't allowed or who were a different religion, etc) and allowing others in (who had the proper note-taking paperwork or the appropriate length pencil, etc). Lots of emotions were seen on the students faces and many had a strong reaction to the 'unfairness' of the situation. Again, afterwards a meaningful discussion was had about the student's different feelings, reactions and ideas.

Mr. Hollis wasn't able to capture any pictures during his provocations. He wanted to keep the experience as authentic as possible so students wouldn't guess that they were provocations. Here are some pictures of his students during a 'tuning in' activity the day after:
