Learning With Tangrams

Oman's Landforms

Today students in 1KR matched vocabulary words, pictures and definitions of Oman's landforms. Ask your child about some of their favorite landforms!

Pattern Block Math

Today students used pattern blocks to create a number of different shapes and designs.

Shape Hunters

Today students in 1KR searched our classroom for objects in the shape of a circle, square, triangle or rectangle. Students recorded their findings then self-assessed effort and their final product using a rubric.

Make My Design

Today students practiced using positional words like next to, above, below, and the names of shapes to create and describe their designs to their partner. The partner listened carefully to the instructions to create his/her own matching design.

Classroom Post

Students in 1KR wrote letters to me telling about their winter break. Today they received a letter in return!

Terry Fox

Yesterday ES students gained a better understand of who Terry Fox was and why we at TAISM celebrate his determination through our own fundraising and Terry Fox run. Here is the video the kids watched if you are interested.

Terry Fox Wrist Bands will be sold starting tomorrow morning before school. Tables will be set up in the entrances.  There are three styles.  Buy all three for 5 OR, or one for 2 OR. Proceeds go to SQU Hospital to support children her in Oman with leukemia.  Be a Hero, Buy a Wrist Band!

'Be a Hero' Day - Get your costumes ready over the holiday, because on Wednesday, January 16th, everyone at TAISM is invited to dress up like a HERO. You can be a super hero or emulate a personal hero.  K-12 Students will attend a Terry Fox 'Hero' pep rally at 3:00pm.

Terry Fox Run - Monday, January 21st, 2:30pm.  Parents are welcome!  Our new parent volunteer, Shana Robisch, will also be looking for parents who can help bringing in and/or serving healthy food, or being route marshals.

Our "new" old chair!

A huge thank you to Ege's family for recovering our worn out reading chair during the winter break. It looks fabulous, the kids are excited to sit in it and read!
