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!

Communication

          Dear Parents,
  

Communication was the focus in March.  Communication is the KEY which unlocks all the doors to a successful and fulfilling school life experience.

 

Teaching can be a rewarding profession, but it is more than just imparting knowledge to students. A large part of teaching is about being able to communicate effectively to everyone in the classroom and in the school. When effective communication is missing, teachers can misunderstand or be ignorant of student’s needs and expectations. Furthermore, students may not feel listened to or understood and they may start acting out in other ways to get their needs met.

 

We will continue to work together for lifelong success.
