Attention 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Parents
If you filled out the agreement forms, authorized Chromebooks will start going home with your child on Tuesday, September 3rd. Parents who would still like to fill out the forms can come to the office to do so. Please ensure the forms are completed as soon as possible so your child can participate in the program.
Please ensure that your child charges their Chromebook nightly and brings it back to school each day. This is an important part of our digital learning initiative, and we appreciate your support in helping your child stay prepared.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to another great week ahead.
Hello AES Parents,
Your children will be spending the school year learning Italian Language and Culture with Signor Trevisan and Maestra Isabella. All the materials and resources will be available on our Host Nation website, which is introduced on the next page. This will allow you to follow your children’s progress throughout the year and learn alongside them.
Our teaching philosophy aims to spark our students’ interest and curiosity about Italian Language and Culture through various teaching strategies, methods, technological media, and engaging role-play activities. These approaches are designed to help them learn while having fun.
You can find the Host Nation Standards by clicking here. These standards are also simplified into student-friendly language through the “I Can Do Statements” presented at the beginning of each lesson.
While the first lessons will focus on our classroom expectations and procedures, the following lessons will revolve around common themes that will be developed over each rotation. Some of these themes include: Italian Passport, Happy Birthday, The Calendar, Italian Traditional Festivities, Italian History and Geography, and many others.
