Why Working together?

I am deeply moved by the anonymous quotes that Miss Hasnoa Mneimneh from ABSS chose to post on FB. I like to share them with you as we always say,"Together we achieve more": Working together can never be a policy. It can only be an idea. It can never be a code of rules. It can only be a way of looking at the world. We can say, "This is mine," and be good, or we can add, "This is ours" and become better. We can think, "I do my share," and be satisfied, or we can ask, "Can I do more?" and become prosperous We can work alongside each other and function Or we can work with each other and grow

Our Artwork On "THINGSTALK" Website

"A selection of the children’s waste sculptures will be presented to the participants of COP15 as a part of the planned "Children’s Creative ClimateCamp" which will take place in Ballerup and Rødovre from 2-6 December 2009. The children’s waste sculptures and their short climate statements will be regarded as the voices of the children." We have invented artwork out of waste and unused materials and shared our recycling projects on thingtalk website. We very much hope that our voices will be heard around the world.

Special thanks to Miss Hoda Shaaban for her kind assistance.

A Special Bond With The Elderly Community: Maine, USA

"Our community has a growing number of elderly people. We have a local organization, Spectrum Generations, that helps them stay connected within our community. The community being Nobleboro and other surrounding towns. Mrs Paula welcomed this group of people into her classroom several years ago and it has grown into something very special. Students in grades 2 & 3 meet with senior buddies once a month for the entire school year. Activities are planned for each visit. Everyone enjoys making friends and creating a special bond with the elderly community. Our last visit of the year is always a little sad as buddies say good-bye for the summer.Our Voice Thread project are pictures of students with their buddy holding a Thanksgiving turkey they made together. Hope you enjoy!" Mrs. Linda Taylor

What gifts do the elderly prefer more than care and concern??? NO words can describe these photos...these are the photos that describe LOVE...We can feel the warmth and happiness just looking at them.

Mrs Schuster and Mrs Taylor, you have touched our hearts....Good teachers create good learners, but GREAT teachers like you, create better human beings.

You are making a difference!

Adha Greetings From Grade Six

Grade Six students wanted to greet you in their own way. For that reason, they headed to the computer lab to use their computer skills to draw and write about Adha. They used the paint program to design their own greetings. They worked hard to finish their drawings and used a variety of colors and shapes. Their cards were very beautiful and reflected their creativity. It was their own special way of saying Adha Mubarak.

A Cooperative Learning Method: Peer Tutoring

Every week, students are experiencing different cooperative learning styles.During the last science sessions, students learned using peer-tutoring. First, I explained and demonstrated peer tutoring.Miss Rana was our guest;she pretended to be my tutor while the students watched.Then I asked the class to get into pairs quickly and quietly.Every student practiced and role-played with his peer just as the teachers did.I gave feedback to every pair while they were practicing. The advantages of applying peer tutoring in class: 1-Every student will have someone that sits next to him and personally explains the work in a way that is just right for him — not too slow and not too fast. 2- There will definitely be more learning opportunities for students. They will be practicing what they have learnt while reading and writing. 3- If students are confused, they will be more at ease at asking questions to their classmate,without anxiety and fear of being embarrassed in front of the whole class.

Parents & Students TOGETHER!

Parent involvement is a combination of commitment and vital participation on the part of the parents to the school and to the students. The concept of parental involvement with the students and the school is a vital one and can construct great rewards for all concerned. Students feel “special” when their parents take part in their classroom experience. They want to share their friends with their parents, and their parents with their friends. They perceive their parents in different role. Students want to show off their newly acquired skills. For parents, such firsthand experience can provide insight into how their children spend their time at school, a basis for observing their children in relation to their age-mate.

Educating children is a shared responsibility between parents and teachers. When parents contribute in their child's school experience, everyone wins.
