Being a risk-taker is one of the ten traits of an IB Learner that we seek to develop through our program. Over the past few weeks, our 6th – 8th graders have been practicing being a risk-taker through their rollerblading unit in PE class. Ms. Sagert had the exciting and innovative idea to incorporate a rollerblading unit into her course this year. Through a partnership with Skatetime, all of our IB students have been able to rent in-line skates and safety equipment and have been spending the last few weeks in PE class, first becoming comfortable on skates and learning to skate, then playing games while skating, with the ultimate goal of playing floor hockey. Through IB, we seek to offer our students experiences that they may not otherwise have, and rollerblading has been new to most of our students. But even with a lot of spills the first week, the kids have been determined and have gained a lot of confidence and had so much fun!
We approach uncertainty with forethought and determination; we work independently and cooperatively to explore new ideas and innovative strategies. We are resourceful and resilient in the face of challenges and change.
