News to Note

Happy Thursday! It's been a very busy week as ASA's began, I was in a training, we began MAPS testing and we gained a new student, our dear Soyeong. Thankfully, everything went very smoothly the weekend is here. (And all the teachers said, "Ahhhh...") :) 

Here is the plan for next week. It's going to be another full week of good learning and activities and then we will enjoy our Eid al Adha holiday. Please review this Assignment Sheet and News and let me know if you have any questions. 

One more thing, Sunday, Oct. 6th will be the kick off for something called "SEWA Day." Sewa (a Sanskrit word) is a commonly used term in South Asian cultures to denote a service that is performed without any expectation of result or award for the person performing it. It is pronounced as Se-Va (‘Se’ as in ‘se’llotape and ‘Va’ as in ‘va'se). 

This is important day for all of our students and is a great opportunity to bring a little joy to others and grow in their appreciation for the work people do in our building. This is the presentation I will be sharing with the class: Sewa Powerpoint 

We will be writing thank you notes to express our gratitude for the work that goes on day in and day out in our school to keep it clean, safe and lovely. What would our school be like without all of their hard work? 

Please keep this spirit of gratitude alive at home over the course of the next week, in particular, by modeling your appreciation for those in your life who help you (housemaids, nannies, drivers, gardeners, etc.) 

Thanks so much for all of your wonderful support at home and have a restful weekend. :)
