Weekly Updates, Monday 19 April, 2021

 

Dear colleagues,

It seems that we are finally heading towards summer with the warm weather and bright flowers and green leaves everywhere. Despite the somewhat alarming and growing numbers of COVID-19 contractions in Kansai, we are confidently moving towards the last two months and aiming to finish the school year successfully. 

This Wednesday, the International Mindedness and Social Justice committee will share with us the outcome of their work this school year and provide us some opportunities to think about how to incorporate those important principles into the units in the future. Additionally, we will look into the articulation of the units of inquiry and how they will be connected to the Units of Study in the school year 2021-2022. 

On Thursday, we will get together as an Elementary School to celebrate learning and community in our monthly assembly. 

We finish the week with another exciting Extended Learning afternoon and get ready for the final week of the month, Exhibition and the Student-Led Conferences.

Let’s enjoy the warm week!

Riana, Trevor, and Heikki
