Week of February 18

Sunday Schedule:  Week 1, Day 6

Upcoming Events and Special Notes:
This week our class has three more Discover Oman Experiences!  Our first experience will be visiting the Samail Castle Sunday, February 18.  Our second experience is the Wadi Sa'al Hike on Tuesday, February 20.  And, our third experience will take us to Wadi Dayqa Dam on Thursday, February 22.  Your student and I have visited about each trip (what to wear, what to expect, etc.).  However, here are just a few reminders, just in case!  Students can wear free dress on both Sunday, February 18 for the Samail Castle and on Tuesday, February 20 for our Wadi Sa'al Hike (no tank tops, shorts have to be as long or longer than TAISM PE uniform).  I suggested wearing comfortable shoes for both and long pants for our Wadi Sa'al Hike as we'll be doing a lot of walking with these two experiences and long pants on a hike helps to protect us in case we fall!  Students on these days should also remember that we will be the sun and to use precautions like sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses to stay cool and protected!  For our Wadi Dayqa Dam experience on Thursday, February 22, students are asked to wear long pants and their TAISM polo.  Also, remember to pack a snack and a lunch for each experience as we will be eating each day at the site, not at the school.  

I am still looking for 3-4 volunteers for our Samail Castle experience on Sunday, February 18.  Please email me if you are available to help out!
