 Mrs. Wessels finds herself surrounded by eager students who really know the answer. Mrs. Gloria Wessels Hala Ali learns to write down her answers. Class IE was a wonderful mixture of 19 personalities from Canada, Egypt, Japan, Sweden, Turkey, U.K., and U.S.A. Our main goal was to become the best first graders we could be. The door to the printed word was opened to us. It was such fun reading the first book! In math we moved from number recognition to computing two-digit numerals. Spelling bees were quite exciting and getting the Bonus List on Monday spelled happiness for many. Being “Student of the Day” gave us a special feeling. We are grateful to our special teachers Mrs. Ibrahim, Mrs. Noel, Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Brune, and Mrs. Buch for giving us insights into the worlds of Arabic, art, books, music and P.E. We made many new friends and will always have happy memories of first grade at SAIS-R.

This year we worked to become good independent students who developed strong reading and math skills and good listening and writing development. Most of all, we found out that learning was fun and that we have a very special school with very special friends here. ■ C. Yesukevich wisely plans his strategy.

1 -IF—IF—VF After the parade, these trick or treaters enjoy goodies at their classroom party. It’s a small world in our class. We are from ten different countries of the world: Naoki from Japan; Sumit and Mona from India; Natasha, Soofia and Saad from Pakistan; Mighael from Iraq; Stav-ros from Greece; Riccardo from Italy; Elaine from Ireland; Jason, Brent, Amy, Michael, Anthony and Alecia from USA; Marc and Sebas-tien from French Canada; Uyra from Brazil. Our main goal is to know about the world and its people, customs, traditions and ways of life. This is what we did in social studies. In science we acquired the knowledge of “Force, Movement of the Earth” and “Brain — the Human Machine.” In reading and spelling we moved through the year as fast as lightening! Oh! Math! With you we took off like a “road runner”! We enjoyed Grade 1 in IF.
