Autum visit to Sandvedparken Friendly hugs! 20 · The Informer 23 November 2011 www.isstavanger.no
Friendly smiles! Primary School News It has been a busy and fruitful autumn and I am sure the doors between home and school have been opened many times. Some doors are those of a first welcome and others provide a return visit. We are pleased so many parents have found their way to the school doors and made contact and connections with school. Thank you to parents and teachers for the communication shared on parent-teacher conference day. I was impressed with how many families took the extra time for both parents to come to school. After Meet the Teacher Day, Open House and Share in Our Learning, this will have been at least the fourth opportunity to get to meet the teachers and build lines of communication for the purpose of promoting and supporting learning. Doors are physical barriers we meet that mark the difference between the exterior and interior of a building, and often an organization. At ISS we often use an open door metaphor when thinking <strong>about</strong> early childhood education. If a child is ready to learn, the task of the school is to make learning available for the child. At the same time, a child of three or four should not feel guilty if he or she is not ready to skip, play an instrument, read or find patterns expressed in mathematical symbols. www.isstavanger.no If a child is not mature enough to handle the expectations, the hard part is waiting for and finding the readiness time or finding a way to make the learning accessible. Volleyball, and football season is over and basketball has started for many families. Thank you to all parents who take time and energy in supporting the activities for our students. By the time this is published, students in Grade 4 will have returned from Outdoor Education Week at Gullingen Leirskule, soaking in Norwegian nature and traditions. We look forward to a visit from Sinterklaas, pictures with Santa, the Grades 3-5 and Grades K-2 winter concerts, field trips to Soma Farm and singing Norwegian songs around a Christmas tree before collapsing when Christmas holidays come. Have a wonderful end of autumn, and find your way to our doors of learning whenever you can. Len Duevel, PhD Primary School Principal LPDuevel@isstavanger.no The Informer 23 November 2011 · 21
