Today (24th March) we had our first IPW meeting! IPW (intergrated projects week) is a fun week at our school where we pick activities that we might want to do, and instead of just having a few hours where we might do that something that we picked, we have a whole week to do it. We sometimes have sleepovers, and marshmallows, and even if we don’t, everyone ends up having a great time. We always have two meetings in the weeks leading up to the actual IPW week, so that everyone is prepared for what we will do in the IPW. Usually we take a survey, and the survey shows all our different IPW options. Then we pick our top five, in order from the ones we would most love to get, to the ones we’d like to do but not our favorite choices. Even if you don’t always get your first choice, and you go to the meetings with a heavy heart, it always turns out well, and you end up hoping you get the same thing next year. And it turns out that right after that we have our spring break- a break from all that fun and exciting stuff. IPW is just beginning this year, and we can’t wait!

It is seven school days until IPW starts and the grade is ringing with conversation of what it is going to be like.  There were many choices this year, including Happening in Harlem which is an IPW all about Harlem.  Kids will get to explore the culture of Harlem and even eat in some of their restaurants!  Another one of the IPW choices is Black Rock Leaders.  Kids will be able to spend a week in Black Rock exploring the outdoors and the nature in the deep forests.  Those are only two of the many choices that kids might be in, all of them are going to be fun.  I can tell that this IPW year is going to be a good one!
