This past week, students learned about Stretchy the Snake and Eagle Eyes to help improve their reading and writing skills. They, additionally, reviewed asking questions before, during, and after reading as well as making predictions. Please continue to reinforce these strategies when you are reading at home, so that students will make it a habit to utilize these strategies independently.
Thank you for joining us for our second annual student led conferences. The students greatly enjoyed sharing their portfolios and reflecting on their learning. Students whose parents were not able to join us were glad to have the opportunity to present their portfolios at home. Your children have made great progress during their time in preschool 5 and loved having the opportunity to show it! It’s hard to believe that the school year is almost drawing to a close.
This week, students began their major project for our new Unit of Inquiry on Imagination. They will choose to create a play, puppet show, mini film, or other means of expressing themselves, using their imaginations. Here are some photos of the students collaborating with one another as well as reviewing story elements (such as setting, character, and plot). We also integrate with Mr. Fernando to create sound effects and pieces of music to go along with their presentations. We can’t wait to see the finished products!
Thank you for joining our book week celebration! Students loved dressing up as their favorite book characters and they looked great! After participating in a small assembly where Middle School students read Eric Carle books, the students completed a finger painting activity in the library. Additionally, students participated in a whole school parade where they were able to show off their costumes! Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to read in our classrooms. The students were excited to have guest readers! On Thursday students attended an assembly to learn who won the bookmark and short story contests. They also heard a story written by our very own Mr. Ali. Finally, students who chose to participate were able to switch one of their old books with another student. It was a great week!
Thank you for coming and taking part in SEK’s International Day! The students worked very hard to prepare their performances and were excited to finally get to show it. We saw many beautiful and traditional articles of clothing, artifacts, and performances. Here are some pictures from the event to help us relive and enjoy the day all over again!

The Preschool 5 students thoroughly enjoyed sharing their learning experiences from our fourth unit on Cultures and Traditions. Thank you so much for coming and supporting your students! Great job to all of the Lions and Tigers! We loved watching your presentations!
Some of the preschool 5 students, grade 4, and grade 5 students attended Saturday’s Destination Imagination event at the Qatar National Convention Center and did a great job! Students have been working hard to create a play about an animal who woke up one day and was in the wrong habitat. Our team decided to write a play about a dog, Henry, who rolled into the ocean while he was sleeping and had to learn how to live there. Students constructed the backgrounds, costumes, and puppets. They created the entire play themselves and were not allowed any help from their teachers. It was a fun day and exciting to present all of their hard work! Great job, Super Stars!
Students enjoyed Math and Science Day last week, exploring different experiment stations and working with the hands-on materials we have been using in math to help build upon their skills. Great fun and good work, Lions and Tigers! 🙂
