Again this year Carlos Celdran gave us an entertaining tour of the walled fortress of Intramuros. Carlos describes what happened to the Philippines during World War II.
Grade 7 students mash up some audio files from different styles and genres of music to become their own DJ’s. Here are three eclectic samples from Diedrea, Carlo,and a mystery performer. There is something here for everyone. Let them know what you think.
Mr. Howrey and his students invade the Business Office and perform a awesome tune. Inspired by Stomp! the world-renowned rhythmic performance troupe, this group of students needs to be seen as well as heard.
Field trips are enjoyed by both teachers and teachers alike. However, often they are not treated as the great learning experience that they can and should be. Recently, as part of the Classroom Without Walls program, Grade Six students produced reflective and interpretative podcasts about their experiences. Have a listen, and if you like these, check out twenty more at ISM6 CWW.
Just in time for the holidays coming the latest video from ISM teachers! Mr. Dingrando uses fellow teachers and even security guards to go round and round and round and round and round and round…
Keep an eye out for the clever filming and editing tricks that he uses.

What a treat! Carlos treated us to a great walking tour within the walls of Intramuros, Manila’s former capital. Fort Santiago, San Agustin Church,and the Casa Manila were the major stops on our journey.
Carlos dazzled us with a ‘one minute history of Jose Rizal,” the role of the Spanish and the Chinese in the the Philippines, Pinoy architecture(or lack of it) and reasons for the “Halo-Halo” make-up of Filipinos.
If you enjoyed the tour and want to treat your friends or even your parents, then contact Carlos at his blog. He has a schedule posted there.

Perhaps the best podcast yet! Rebecca has volunteered to speak with us about the Fire Mummies of the Philippines.
Grade Six students watched an intriguing National Geographic video about mummies found in the hot, humid climate of the Philippines. Rebecca reminds us on where they were found, which cultural groups were involved, and how they mummified their relatives. A great listen!
Here is sample from the recent grade Seven annual Automated Wax Museum. Students bring to life historical figures fro m the time of the Renaissance, Reformation, and the Age of Exploration.
Renz performs as Lapu Lapu, the first national hero of the Philippines. Lapu Lapu is known as the first leader to resist Spanish colonization in the country. Renz speaks bout “his” and recounts the Battle of Mactan. He describes how he and his followers combat and kill the Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan.
