Dear
Parents,
A
great deal of fun was had in the elementary this week with our three field
days. Photos will be published on the website soon. We are particularly
impressed with the collaborative fun spirit the children displayed throughout
these field days, giving their fullest effort into each station! A big thanks
to Jack, Sobha and Jane in our PE department for their thorough planning and
execution of these days. Thank you also to all the parents who came out to
watch and support our students!
Responsive
Classroom Training
Next
week we have 30 Elementary teachers taking place in Responsive Classroom
training. We will be running an alternate specialist class schedule for this
week. Your child will be informed which days they have different lessons, this
is simply an FYI.
Input
into Elementary handbooks
As
you are aware, we annually publish both an Elementary handbook and also an
Elementary curriculum guide. If you have suggestions for topics, policies, or
areas of curriculum you would like to see included in these, please email me
directly at dkeryn@aischennai.org
Perhaps you have seen things in other schools handbooks that you feel we could
also include!

The
