One of the many great successes of adapting through a pandemic @GESatKAUST has been the work of our PE team and the cycling unit for all 700 students. Building confidence and skills to be safe on the road, the students absolutely love it. #pe#pyp
Our outstanding Pedagogical Coordinators for literacy, @_mrsrees and @clmcewen, leading our lower elementary teachers through the launch of #UFLi. We’re excited for the impact this initiative will have on the foundational skills of our readers @GESatKAUST#reading#skywriting
We had the great honor of having the amazing @RickFox visit @GESatKAUST today. He shared a great message about the value of effort and determination. He was so warm and engaging with our students.

Diving into data with the Grade 1 team @GESatKAUST at the 1/2 day data retreat with @jdotwdot. Forefront is a useful tool to visualize the data, identify trends and consider next steps in planning and teaching. Looking forward to meeting with Grade 2 team tomorrow!
“I’m really worried about you. You’ve fallen behind. You’re nowhere close to where you need to be at this point.”

We feel so lucky @GESatKAUST to be starting the year face-to-face. We spent the first week with teachers focusing on messages of connection, self-compassion and "Finding Our Why" as pathways to moving forward with optimism. #backtoschool#pyp
