Dear
Parents,
Early Years 5 - Grade 2 Art Exhibition
Amritha did her schooling in Oman and came to India for her Undergraduate and Postgraduate degree in Speech and Language Pathology & Audiology. Soon after that she got the chance to go to Australia for 5 years. In 2007, Amritha found herself back in India and interviewing for the job at AISC. If Amritha could change lives with anyone it would be her Grandfather - he was a Freedom Fighter and one of India's first Member of Parliament post-Independence. She would love to see India and its potential through his eyes!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

This
week 30 of our teachers participated in Responsive Classroom training. This
training focuses on building communities, proactively responding to behaviour
and students needs, and placing the social and emotional developmental stages
of children at the forefront of learning.
Next
week we have our annual Early Years – Grade 2 Art Exhibition, as well as a
short week with Friday being a school holiday.
Grade
4 Sleepover
Last
Friday our Grade 4 students had their school sleepover, which also included a
pool party, games on the field as well as both dinner and breakfast at school. A
great time was had by all Grade 4 students and their teachers.

and author
with the Elementary School as his main audience. His music is fun and great for
little kids as he does hand motions with the songs, and his books are great for
older Elementary students.
Elementary
school students and their families are welcome to attend a Family Concert on
Monday, February 12 at 3:45 in the Madras Hall. Bill will also have his songs
and books for sale afterward.

you have any questions, please contact Kirsten Welbes at wkirsten@aischennai.org.
Meet AISC - Amritha Thomas - Speech and Language
Pathologist
Amritha’s
job as Speech and Language Pathologist allows her to do 2 things that she loves
- teaching, and working with kids. The broad smiles children break out into
when they realize that they are being successful is priceless. Amritha loves
travelling and has recently developed a liking towards photography! One of her
favorite ways to unwind is to untangle things like Christmas lights and yarn.
She is the oldest of 3 children; her Dad is a Plastic Surgeon and her Mom an
English teacher.
