Learner Profiles
As an IB World School, BPCS strives to foster the growth of students both academically as well as internationally minded citizens who are aware of the world outside of their local environment. To do this, the school incorporates the IB Learner Profiles into the classroom. The IB Learner Profiles describe a broad range of human capacities and responsibilities and, in turn, embody traits of a well-rounded individual. The Learner Profiles are: Inquirers, Knowledgeable, Thinkers, Communicators, Open-Minded, Caring, Risk-Takers, Balanced, and Reflective.
Throughout the year, we will be discussing the Learner Profiles in the classroom as a way to bring to life the traits. Starting in October, our school will focus on how a person demonstrates they are Caring. One who is kind and respectful and considers others' feelings when making choices. A person who takes care of their classmates, classroom, and school. An individual who notices how others feel and strives to have a positive impact on their day.

2A Kicks the Year Off with International Dot Day!!!
CONGRATULATIONS to 2A Artists who kicked this year off strong. Together, we created our first BPCS ART installation of the year—inspired by the work of Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama! Since then we’ve been exploring origami, the Japanese art of folding paper into three dimensional art—animals, shapes, characters, etc. Together we created a hanging sculpture (or chandelier) for our classroom library. What a year we are going to have!
FYI : Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in joining us for ART. Extra hands are welcome (but I do want to plan for your visit). If you have creative expertise to share, we could design a project together! Additionally, we are stocking up on recycled materials for art making, please: colorful plastic caps, corks, tubes, buttons and game pieces in bulk, and dryer lint! Many thanks!!
