Dear colleagues,
The beautiful fall weather and International Food & Fun Fair made the weekend memorable. Thank you to all who helped in the Fair to bring our families, faculty, staff, and visitors together and celebrate the cultural richness and diversity at CA and in Kobe at large. This week we will hear the latest from the Mathematics committee, have a specialists’ check in in the ELAC workroom and meet with the whole well-being and experiential learning committees on Wednesday. Last week we had a very successful Mathematics Parent Workshop and this week we will invite the parents in to continue to learn about how we teach reading and writing as guided and trained by Matt Glover. Finally, the US election raised many comments, questions, and reactions from both adults and students last week. It is important that in addition to thinking critically about the whole media hyped campaign and its results, we need to help the students to feel safe, calm and united as well as learn how to respond respectfully and wisely to the differences in opinions. Let’s have another learning filled week!
