Students had a relaxing afternoon creating Omani girl and boy dolls!

2KK Update

Our first Discover Oman trip to the Omani Dress Center went very well this morning! I will try to post as many photos as I can by tomorrow, however we are not permitted to post photos of your child wearing a name tag. Therefore I will not be able to share all of them. Don't worry though--your child will be creating a photo page for their Discover Oman scrapbook and they will have LOTS of pictures to share with you at home. 

We will have NO HOMEWORK PACKET this week due to the short week. I know the kids were smiling about this piece of information. :)

Also, new spelling words will come home next Sunday, November 23.

Our Friendship Feast is right around the corner...thank you SO much for those of you willing to help out in anyway. Whether it's cooking a dish, or coming to serve food--we really appreciate your support. Just a reminder that as of now, the feast is scheduled for Wednesday, November 26 but if the holiday is called then we will have it Tuesday, November 25. 

Thank you!

Discover Oman

Dear Parents,

Next week marks the beginning of our Discover Oman program! 

 On Sunday, November 16 , we will visit the Center for Omani Dress. We will leave school at 8:45 and return to school at 12:30 for lunch. Students need to bring a water bottle and a snack on the trip. It would be helpful for students to have a small back pack to keep track of their belongings. They should wear TAISM shirts, and please note that students will be missing PE so swim gear is not needed. For more information, visit the website.

 On Thursday, November 18th we will participate in Omani Tent Day at TAISM. The students will  experience traditional henna, eat dates, smell Omani coffee with cardamom, listen to Omani drummers, and see Omani bread being made. Your child is invited to wear traditional Omani clothing. Please pack a change of clothes and swim gear for P.E.

Also, please make sure your child does not bring a camera or mobile for photos since I and another parent will be taking plenty of photos to share with your child. 

Please email me if you have any questions. Note that we will have swimming on both Discover Oman days. We are looking forward to a great week of discovery!
