APIS elementary school community days play a crucial role in fostering a sense of unity and connection among our students, teachers, and parents. These events provide a platform for the entire school community to come together, promoting a supportive and inclusive environment.
We always emphasize the importance of community and collaboration, and we try to contribute to the social and emotional growth of students, laying the foundation for a positive and enriching educational experience.
I made a Logo, especially for my future bakery shop. I choose a simple design of donuts which will probably be sold in my Cafe. My
shop will be called sugar high, It’s just a quick idea of a name that came to my head since dessert is sweet. ( made up of sugar) I have a triangle as my background because I believe in being on the top in business, The edge of the top of the pyramid is my place! On the triangle, you can see colorful spots. Firstly it represents other competitor and It’s colorful because I believe it makes you look at sprinkles and happiness. I mix color in my text to keep the logo interesting.
I like to make this logo because it looks beautiful and the name is from Hawaiian language (mean product) I like the words Huahana is sound nice and I like it. I want the name that from different language so that why I choose the Hawaiian language. I like this bird because it looks like an eagle especially with the red in it. If I grow up I want to have a phone business with this logo
Cross curricular collaboration is part of APIS’s teaching culture.
This teaching method encourages CREATIVITY and COLLABORATION both of which are anchor values of our school.
The following is an example of cross curricular collaboration: T. Moein and T. Jay combined their computer science class (3D design project) with an English speaking class. (Guide me through your dream house)
Students have demonstrated their creativity and ability to speak English through this multitasking exercise.
APIS students come from different backgrounds and countries, but with our family care environment, they become friends very quickly and they blend many aspects of their cultures within their school life.
Focus on listening and speaking creates the foundation for future successful language studies.
Kevin (in the video below) has very recently joined our school. He comes from a completely Thai school and home environment. When he arrived here he could hardly understand or speak one word of English. Now he can understand fairly well, but he does not have the confidence to speak by himself (especially on camera!).
The theory of second language acquisition teaches that a person who learns a foreign language first goes through a period where he just listens and absorbs. For the outside observer it may seem as if he/she is not picking up the language, but this is not true. A lot of learning takes place to lay the foundation for confidence in communication at a later stage.
