Rhonda Norris  |   rhonda.norris@aas.ru

The final few school days of 2019 are upon us!
 
AAS continues to await news regarding the timing of staff visas for the next school year. Taking this into account, Leadership proposed and the Board agreed that it is beneficial for the School to:
  • remain engaged with potential candidates for future employment,
  • tell the story of our experiences these past few years in person,
  • be present so that candidates know that AAS is continuing to provide outstanding learning for our students.
Therefore, AAS will be attending the Bangkok and London recruiting fairs in January 2020.  I will be in Bangkok representing AAS at the Bangkok Search fair from January 8 to 13.  
 
I would like to share my warm welcome to the new families joining us in January 2020.  I look forward to meeting you after the break.  
 
For returning families, I wish you each a break filled with joy and happiness shared with friends and family and opportunities to relax and rejuvenate.
 
Thank you for your ongoing engagement and support of the AAS learning community!
 
Have a wonderful break and an amazing holiday season!
 
Rhonda

Dear Elementary School Families,

Thank You
  • We would like to thank all of the Room Parents and parent volunteers for the effort you have put into making our Grade Level Holiday Class Parties a wonderful way to end the last day of school for 2019.
Holiday Dress
  • Tomorrow, students may wear Holiday Dress or their regular uniforms.
DAY 2B
  • The first day of school for 2020 is Monday, January 13. It will be a Day 2B in the Elementary School.
ES ART
  • This Semester, ES Art Students have been introduced to a different approach to art education. Choice Based Art and Teaching for Artistic Behaviours (TAB) places the student at the centre of everything, allowing for greater agency and personalised learning.
  • Through a choice based approach, and continuing to apply the mantra “You are the artist, and this is your studio”, we believe all students will be more invested, engaged and inspired, as this will appeal even more so, to their natural curiosity and personal interests.
  • Through allowing choice, and providing more of a ‘workshop’ environment, students can work at their own pace, and with increased independence, whilst meeting curricular objectives.
  • Throughout the year, we shall focus on the understanding, or Central Idea, that ‘Artists practice a series of behaviours, which lead them through a process, resulting in an artwork which conveys personal meaning to them’.
  • We will continue to ask ourselves “What do artists do?” and “Where do ideas come from?”
 
  • This semester, students have focused on developing their sense of ownership over their artistic experience and environment by practising exploration of materials and tools, organisation of workspace, and the generation of ideas.  Students are entirely responsible for thoughtfully planning for, and selecting materials and tools in order to initiate exploration/experimentation, observational and/or imaginative work. Emphasis is also placed on the documentation of achievements, via Seesaw. All pieces are kept, as they provide opportunity for reflection, and are valuable evidence of process.
  • As we work through the transition to a full choice based program, students are beginning to become familiar with the Studio Habits of Mind which can be directly linked to the National Core Art Standards, PYP learning outcomes and Learner Profile. These are early days, and the depth of exposure and understanding is dependent on individuals and Grade level. The Studio Habits of Mind can be found at the foot of this notice.
  • To end the Semester, students have been busy producing a W.O.W piece of art. Please view our ES bulletin boards which are currently being adorned with Wonderful Original Works of Art. A W.O.W art work is one which students have committed two to three lessons to, one which they have carefully thought through, planned, gathered feedback, perfected and persevered until the end. With such personal investment in these pieces, students are experiencing a sense of pride in their efforts and learning process. Please take time to enjoy our W.O.W Gallery and subscribe to the ES Art Blog in order to follow our journey through Choice Based Art, in the New Year.
Studio Habits of Mind & PYP Attributes
Develop Craft: Learning to use tools, materials, artistic conventions, and learning to care for tools, materials and space (PYP Caring and Knowledgeable)
Envision: Learning to picture mentally, what cannot be directly observed, and imagine possible next steps in making a piece (PYP Inquirer)
Express: Learning to create works that convey an idea, a feeling, or a personal meaning (PYP Communicator)
Stretch & Explore: Learning to reach beyond one’s capacities, to explore playfully without a preconceived plan, and to embrace the opportunity to learn from mistakes (PYP Risk Taker)
Observe: Learning to attend to visual contexts more closely than ordinary ‘looking’ requires, and thereby to see things that otherwise might not be seen (PYP Inquirer)
Reflect: Learning to think and talk with others about an aspect of one’s work or working process, and learning to judge one’s own work and working process, and the work of others (PYP Reflective)
Engage & Persist: Learning to embrace problems of relevance within the art world/or of personal importance, to develop focus conducive to working and persevering at tasks (PYP Open Minded)
Understand (Arts) Community: Learning to interact as an artist with other artists (i.e. in classrooms, in local arts organizations, and across the art field)
 
The ES Leadership Team would like to wish all of you a Happy Holidays. We hope you have safe travels and are able to spend quality time with friends and family. We also wish you a very Happy New Year and look forward to seeing you in 2020!
 
The ES Leadership Team

HS Flash

HS Principal, Christopher Schuster chris.schuster@aas.ru
HS Associate Principal, Matthew Groves matthew.groves@aas.ru
 

What a great run the high school has had since August. Our students have achieved academically, performed nobly, and played their hearts out in numerous concerts and competitions. We are so proud of our students’ accomplishments and the way they consistently represent our school with honor in all that they do. 

When vacation approaches, it is always wise to reflect on our achievements and our areas for growth. I hope you and your children take some time over the next few weeks to look back on the last four months and celebrate as well as plan for self-improvement. 

Reflection is the heart of learning. Without it, we fail to maximize our growth. With it, we intentionally examine who we are and what we can do to improve ourselves to the best of our ability. Reflection keeps us humble but also gives us the chance to feel good about the growth we have seen in ourselves and around us. 

AAS is a place that thrives on achieving Holistic Excellence in our community. We have much to be proud of and much to improve as we begin again in January. Feel free to share your reflections about your family’s journey at AAS with the administration and let us know how we can partner with you in the future. On behalf of the high school, we wish you safe travels and the happiest of winter breaks!

Transition Period for Grade 12s
Grade 12 students are in the process of transitioning into a new phase of the IB Program. With the EE over and the TOK course coming to a rapid conclusion, two major components of the IB are wrapping up. The TOK Essay is due this Friday, and although some students will have to revise theirs after this date, it is nearing an end. On January 24, the course will officially end. At this same time, some courses will move into full-on revision. Most will do the same in January and February. The heaviest lifting is over, but there is plenty left to do during the revision period. This transition is something to celebrate, however, and our Grade 12s should feel a sense of accomplishment. 
 
Grade 11 Goal Setting Meetings are well underway!
In January, Grade 11s will start on their Extended Essay, a 4000-word research essay on a subject of a student’s choosing. Topics must come from one of the six IB DP subjects that they are taking. Students will work with a subject-area advisor that is assigned to them by the IB Coordinator. After an introductory session, Grade 11s will fill out a survey in which they rank their top three subject area choices. Students are not guaranteed their first choice, as subject-area supervisors are limited. Supervisors are held to a maximum of five students. However, most students get their first choices. Over the break, please talk with your Grade 11 students about possible topics to get the ball rolling. Topics should be very narrow in scope. Mr. Sonderman serves as the EE Coordinator and will kick things off on January 20.
