Dear ECE Families:
I hope everyone is enjoying the wonderful winter weather of Qatar. So much learning and growing has taken place this term! The children are different people from when they first started in September. Along with the academic subjects presented in school, they are also learning independence, responsibility, and respect, important skills that make for a happy life! We appreciate the trust and support of all our ECE parents as we work together for the happiness and success of our young students. Check the Weebly sites from the school website page (www.emskhor.net - click on Weebly - click ECE) for current updates and photos of the happenings at our beautiful ECE. Both KG 1 and KG 2 children have started an in depth study of the falcon (Saqr), Qatar’s majestic National Bird. They are learning the parts of the falcon (talons, beak, wings, body, tail, etc.) the life cycle, habitat and also the hunting abilities of this fascinating bird. On Tuesday, December 13, the children will have a visit from a real falcon and be able to see it up close. We will also be wearing Qatar national colors. Your child can come dressed in maroon and white on Dec. 13, 14 and 15. Fun! The students are very busy in the garden. The plants they have sprouted from seed (tomatoes, eggplant, onions, mint, pumpkin, carrots, cucumber, etc.) are growing and we are looking forward to a harvest sometime in Term 2. The garden is an outdoor classroom, providing many learning opportunities in the areas of math, science, art, physical development and geography. The garden teaches us to respect and care for living things as well as providing magic and beauty as we watch things grow and change every day. Ms. Pasha will be away from Dec. 8-11. I have been invited to speak at an International Early Childhood Conference in Hong Kong. I will miss saying “good morning, Marhaba!” to all our students, but I will be back at the gate on Monday, December 12. As noted in your school calendar, the last day of Term 1 is Thursday, December 15. Report cards will be given to your children that day. Please be sure to check their backpack/envelope for the report card. Unclaimed report cards can be picked up at the main office in the big building during Term 2. The children will have a class party for the last day of school, December 15. Please send your child with a healthy snack or treat to share with their friends. Dismissal for ECE is 12:30, our regular time. As every Thursday, big school will dismiss at 12:39. On behalf of the entire ECE department, we wish each and all a safe, happy and restful vacation. We look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Tuesday, January 3, 2017! Shukrun, Ms. Pasha Comments are closed.
