Eco-Challenge and Art Waste Contest Champions!

On the 31st of May, early morning at 6:30 am 7 students from KSPS Grade 6 headed towards the Lebanese Beautiful village Ehden with the company of Mrs. Iman Itani and Ms. Gassia Topoushian.

 

At 9:30 am our bus arrived to Kroum Ehden Boutique Resort. 17  schools  from different parts of Lebanon were also there to participate "Zero Waste Act's" organized Eco-Challenge and ART Waste Contest. After playing, enjoying, and having fun, the students were able to exhibit their artifacts and handmade structures.
I would like to remind  that the students were able to prepare all the artifacts by the help of our dear talented teacher Mrs. Iman Itani.

 Afterwards the juries came, watched, took notes and announced the winner of the contest; which were Makassed Khalil Shehab Primary School's students' structures and artifacts. Of course the juries also gave other prizes to other participant schools.
   Today KSPS 6th graders spent there whole day in Ehden having fun, enjoying one another, and working as one team on a goal; creating a better Lebanon for the future generation.

 P.S: KSPS students also had the chance to be interviewed by many TV channels and newspapers (Al Hurra, L'orient Le Jour ...)

  

I would like to share our students feedback with the following quotes:
"We had a very nice day in Ehden, a very refreshing and beautiful village."
"It was a fun exciting day."
"I wish we could come to Ehden everyday and enjoy Zero Waste Act's amazing activities."
"I liked this project because we are helping our nature and making our lives healthier and better."

We did the dance!

Create Different Types of Clouds

Grade 2 students are learning about the 4 different types of clouds: cirrus, cumulus, cumulonimbus, & stratus. To help the students learn what the clouds look like, we used the cotton balls to represent each type of cloud.

CUMULUS clouds: These clouds look like big fluffy cotton balls.
CIRRUS clouds: Pull the cotton balls apart into long, wispy parts.
CUMULONIMBUS clouds: These clouds are also fluffy, but because they are storm clouds, they colored them black with markers.
STRATUS clouds: Students should stretch out the cotton balls, but not completely apart, and then color them gray.

At the end, the students labeled each cloud with its name!
This is a really fun, educational activity that helps the students learn what the clouds look like in the sky.

Deep Zoom

Grade 2 students got the chance to explore the pictures of their body parts in fine detail using the Deep Zoom feature of Microsoft Silverlight. It helped them to use the PC like a powerful magnifying glass, zooming into high resolution images to explore them in minute detail. It is a fun and engaging way to present a lesson and involve students in class presentations and activities.

Celebrating "World Health Day" at KSPS

The World Health Day is celebrated each year on 7th April globally. KSPS young students launched a campaign to celebrate this important event. The aim of this campaign was to raise awareness among KSPS clovers of different threats to their health. Different activities were performed in all KSPS classes. Musical students created a song entitled “You don’t have to eat gummy”. Visual students created a Power Point presentation entitled “Healthy Kids”. They presented it in front of all KSPS students. Kinesthetic students drew “Book Marks” that contains healthy tips and distributed them to all the school’s students and staff. Finally, all students had the chance to eat delicious healthy snack of fruits (strawberries, pears, apples, and bananas).

الملصق الاعلاني

تلامذة الصف الرابع صمموا ملصقاتهم الاعلانية التي عبرت عن تمحبتهم  لمدرستهم وميّزها حسب آرائهم .

حنّية جدّة

جدّتي إذا ضاقت بي الدّروب والكلّ تنحى عني لن أجد سوى دفئك ونبض إيمانك لا يفارق ذكر الله لسانك ولا يفرق الحب حنانك جدّتي كل ما سوف أقوله لن يعبّر عن حبي لك ولن تصل كلمات الشكر لحقّك كل ما أستطيع قوله اللهم يا مجيب الدعاء ويا خالق السماء والنجوم اجعل جدتي بعافية وصحّة تدوم تكريماَ لحنان الجدّة ، دعى أطفال الحضانة في مدرسة عثمان ذي النورين جداتهم لقضاء وقت ممتع معهم.غنّت الجدات بصوت عذب للأطفال كما سردن القصص الجميلة لهم. حضّرت بعض الجدات الحلويات القديمة التي كانت تعدها للعائلة . اختتمت الزيارة بتوزيع الهدايا على الجدات لتبقي ذكرى جميلة من حفيد عزيز على قلوبهن
