What a GREAT year!

Dear Parents and Families,
 

Dear Parents and Families, 

Wow, what a year! Better yet - what a GREAT year! We have covered a lot of material and participated in many fun and exciting projects. We started to develop skills needed for learning the Arabic language. We made many new friends along the way too.

Each of your children has brought such joy and happiness to our classroom. I was so fortunate to have such a wonderful group of children this year. My friends and family often laugh at me when I refer to your children as “my kids”. They are like my own children. They all have touched my life and this school year in very positive and rewarding ways. I hope as the years go by that they keep in touch. Today’s technology can help us continue the relationships we have built. I encourage and welcome correspondences from you and your kids.

Students, I have enjoyed being your teacher this year. It's rewarding when a teacher is able to get a class full of children who are eager to learn and willing to do the hard work necessary. You should be proud of the work you accomplished, both individually and as a class.

"I’m glad I was your teacher.
I've come to love you so.
I can't believe the end is here.
I hate to see you go."

Remember all the fun we had in all the things we did
But most of all remember...
You're a very special kid!

I will miss all of you. I wish you the best of luck.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Ramahi

Congratulations graduate! Your parents are proud of you. Best wishes for the years ahead!

You are now in the half way. May your graduation be the beginning of a bright future for you. Best Wishes for wonderful years!

Read Around the World!

Read Around the World - An ACS Summer Challenge!

Where would you like to spend your summer? The Learning Commons invites all ACS students to participate in this summer’s Read Around the World Challenge!  The challenge is to visit as many different parts of the world as you can through books.  

To participate in the challenge all you need to do is find a comfortable spot and start reading.  After you’ve finished the title, take a photo of the book jacket, of you and the book or simply record it on a piece of paper.

Reading can start the minute school breaks for vacation and will hopefully continue until the day you return to school in August!  If you are looking for titles, here are some sites to check out; List One, List Two, List Three.  Don’t forget to visit your local bookstore, library or virtual shopping destination.

Once you have returned to school, please bring your list of books to the LC so we can invite you to celebrate with us at an event during the first month back.

Books qualify for this event if they meet any of the following criteria:

• The setting differs from your home country
• The characters are from a different country than your home country
• Non-fiction travel guides or information texts about a country other than your home country
• Biographies highlighting people from different countries

Happy Reading!

The Learning Commons Team
