We made progress with our kids working in various learning centers to help with letter formation, math and sensorial areas. These activities help them refine their fine motor skills.

Such stations include: tracing on sand, matching ,counting with various math tools, using cars to help with blending words, sand trays to trace letters and numbers and using white boards to enhance writing skills.

We also included some science  and sensorial activities using  tools to compare different materials.

We take pride in Academic Excellence which is mainly achieved through hands-on activities.

We learn with all our senses!

Our circle time is a special  moment everyday when we introduce new topics, sing along and share our experiences, enhancing language and communication skills.

We continue to discuss Animals, their habitats,

characteristics and needs. We also learned how animals MOVE! It’s been a JUNGLE in our classrooms!

To enhance our character building skills, this week we discussed the importance of identifying day to day problems, as well as coming up with positive solutions. The kids shared previous experiences, as well as imaginary conflicts, in order to build critical thinking I finding amiable resolutions. We believe our future is in good hands.

Ramadan is our favorite time of the year! This year, we decided to get the kids into the Ramadan spirit too! All of us came to school wearing our Galabyas and swinging our traditional Ramadan lantern "fanoos". The kids had a blast dancing and singing to our favorite Ramadan tunes, while we had our breakfast in the garden.

The kids and their families joined us for our annual EAIS Family Day! The kids played and put on a dance and music show for all of us, all for a very good charitable cause. It was a blast with an Olympics theme! Hope to see you next year!

No one deserves to be celebrated, not just one day, but every day, like a mom does. Our kids value, love and respect their mothers so much! They enjoyed making crafts for their mommies and they learned and sang a song for her too! Happy Mother's Day to all the hard working, restless, devoted, inspirational and dedicated moms out there! We see you and we appreciate you.
