Dear
Parents,
Thank
you to all the families who donated to the Elementary School Toy Drive. We received 54 games and puzzles, 70 stuffed
animals, 126 miscellaneous items such as clothing, books and book bags and over
2 large boxes of various toys. These gifts will be given to less fortunate
local children.
Students
in 5A had an authors' celebration last Friday to share published essays with
their parents. In this unit of study, students chose topics that were of
interest to them and learned how to organize their thoughts and ideas into
the five-paragraph essay format. They went through a process of
generating ideas, drafting, revising, peer revision, editing, and finally
publishing their work. In addition to creating final print copies of
their essays using Google Docs, students also learned how to make videos
on iPads and recorded each other reading their essays. Thank you to
the parents for coming in and bringing snacks to share, and thank you to all
the students for their hard work!
P.E. Survey – Parent Input is
requested
As a part
of our continuous improvement efforts and the CIS Accreditation Self-Study
process, our P.E. department has set a goal of evaluating the PE program at
AISC. One method they are using to collect data for this evaluation is a
parent survey. Please complete this parent survey by Monday, December 17th.
Your input is very much appreciated.
Thank
you, parents, for joining us at our winter concerts this week; we appreciate
your support. As we begin the holiday season, I wish to take this opportunity
to wish all of our families a wonderful winter vacation. See you on January 7th,
2013.
Yours truly,
Kevin Hall
Elementary School Principal
