Making Connections

Today we talked about the importance of making connections. Here is the poster we created to help jog our memory when we're engaged in our books...

We read Wimberly Worried by Kevin Henkes to support making connections. 

For word study, we decided to create a list of adjectives to add to our writing. Now we have the word wall as a resource during writing to spice up our writing. We took the words that went up yesterday and came up with a synonym for each word. 

Selamat Hari Raya

Our first back to school weekend happens to be a four day weekend celebrating Hari Raya! Selamat Hari Raya!

The first week of school was a success! Chrysanthemum meets Where the Wild Things Are and hopefully my students are now excited for the rest of the school year. Classroom routines and rules are established and we are ready to learn! Check out our RAS newsletter for the second week. "Let the Wild Rumpus Start!"

August 13-17

The full team has all arrived and settling into our new homes in Malaysia. Each teaching couple lives a few doors away from each other in Bayou Water Village, Leisure Farms. It's beautiful here and we are quickly adjusting to the heat as we set up the school for students. At the time, we have 4 students enrolled for the first day of school which happens this upcoming Monday. There are 6 teachers excited and ready for more students to start pouring in. We have an enthusiastic team of creative thinkers that are extremely happy to be here as founding faculty of Raffles American School. Stay tuned for updates about the school and creative teaching.
