The pencils are sharpened, papers are neatly organized, and students and teachers are excited about the new school year beginning!
We have started the year by trying to make new students feel welcome in our school, interviewing each other to get to know each other a little better, and by assessing students' language needs.
In the coming weeks and months we will be working cooperatively and collaboratively to further develop the language skills necessary for success at AISB. We will be reading, writing, listening and speaking about science, social studies, and language arts; extending our academic vocabularies; and using language to help us make our thinking visible to teachers and classmates.
We are looking forward to a great year ahead!
