Drawing a story together
"A safe place for animals to live"
It has been such a
wonderful first week back! The children have returned with a lot of enthusiasm
and new ideas! Not only have they grown taller, but they have a new maturity in
the way they are exploring, having conversations and asking questions.
This week we had a visit
from Mr. Pearson, our counselor who talked about T.I.M (Tell your feelings,
ignore, and move away) as a way to try and solve problems. Of course if T.I.M
doesn’t work, students are encouraged to ask a teacher for help.
In Chinese class, students
have begun talking about and getting ready for Chinese New Year, a big
celebration here in Singapore! Some of the students wanted to make red lanterns
for good luck for our classroom. We will celebrate in school right before the
holiday with a lion dance and by singing Chinese songs.
A couple of Ipad minis were
introduced in our classroom this week as a new learning tool. The students were
drawing stories together, as well as documenting some of our learning by taking
pictures and movies. These Ipads will only be used when they enhance the
learning of our children, and will not be available for use all of the time.
We will have visiting
artists working with our class next Tuesday!
The Adzooks puppeteers will be inspiring us with a puppet performance
and then we will explore and make our own. It should be a fun day!
Report cards should be
available this afternoon on PowerSchool. You should get a letter from communications/ENews on how to access them if you have not done it before.
