A HUGE thank you to all of
the parents who contributed to our Halloween party on Tuesday. Whether you sent
in food, or helped out with the activities (or both!) it was VERY much
appreciated! And an extra thank you to our fabulous room parents, Hana and
Noemi for organizing. The kiddos had a wonderful time! Also thank you for all of the birthday wishes
this week. J
Celebrating Halloween,
baking and planting pumpkin seeds, interest in letters and sounds, the sharing
of stories and songs, and much, much more! Our week was full of learning and
fun!

*November 22nd: Thanksgiving Celebration-
12:15-1:15.
We invite all parents,
siblings, relatives that may be here in Singapore to a celebration in our back
courtyard. We have been talking about appreciating how we are the same and
different, and how we may celebrate similar or different holidays and
participate in various amazing celebrations. Let’s do this together! Please
bring a dish (main, snack or dessert) from a country that is special to you
(passport country, a place you have lived or called home…) so we can celebrate
each other, and our amazing classroom community. We will eat together and have
a great time. Students are invited to wear clothes/dress from a country that is
special to them. Our room moms have offered to organize the food so please look
out for their e-mails. We look forward to seeing you here! Please let us know
if you will not be able to attend.

Volunteer Service Opportunity!
Over the Thanksgiving break, a team of 26
SAS teachers will be going to Siem Reap as part of a Caring for Cambodia (CFC)
Teacher Training project. Our teachers will be sharing many new teaching
methods with the Cambodian teachers. In the past we have shared information
about hygiene and have distributed “hygiene kits” to the families of the
students. These kits were a huge success and much needed in the community. We
would sincerely like to continue this act of kindness.
How can you HELP? Our goal is to
create and transport 1500 hygiene kits to Siem Reap. If every student brings
enough items for one family-size kit, we will be well on our way of reaching
our goal. This activity is optional. If you would like to participate please
have your child bring in the following by Friday, November 17th.
1 bar of soap 1 small washcloth
1
comb
1 large tube of toothpaste 4 toothbrushes
The students will assemble the kits in
class. The SAS teachers will bring the kits to Cambodia and distribute them to
the CFC school families. Thank you in advance for your support. The children
love making these kits and seeing how their efforts can make a difference in
another child’s life. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Warm regards,
SAS Teachers
