Upcoming Events and Special Notes:
All grade four students will be participating in a Science Fashion Show on Sunday, December 11. Students have been studying states of matter and how energy (heat or the absence of heat) affects it. In our most recent experiment, students studied insulators and determined what types of materials make the best insulators. For our Fashion Show, students have been tasked with making a piece of clothing (or using something they already have) and discussing its use. Students will be describing what the item is, what it's made of, and its purpose! It's going to be a short show with a practice run-through starting about 2:00 and the actual Fashion Show starting at 2:30 (2:30-3:00ish will be the actual Fashion Show). If you're around and would like to come watch, you are more than welcome to drop in and join us in the Bosch Center for this short informal show!
The official holiday for Prophet Mohammed's birthday has been announced by the Omani governmental authorities as Monday, December 12; there will be no school on this day. TAISM will resume classes on Tuesday, December 13 (Day 4).
Wednesday, December 14! Join us for a combined Winter Party Picnic (Potluck, room parents sent out information about bringing an item to share) and Publishing Party! Join us at the Outdoor Amphitheater (area outside the Bosch Center) from 12:30-1:15 for a picnic! Students will have recess after this which gives parents time to clean up (or take a break!) and we invite you back inside to our classrooms at 2:00 for a celebration of our writing work, Personal/Persuasive Essays! We will be celebrating our writing work with a gallery style showing in which grade four students will display their work, as if it were an exhibit on display at a gallery. You and your student will have the opportunity to roam from classroom to classroom looking at "exhibits" from all the classes. Stop in to take a look at your student's work and feel free to stay and walk around with them to check out others!
Thursday, December 15 will be a noon dismissal. Enjoy your winter holiday from December 16-January 7!
