TAISM's ES Discovery Oman Week has finally come to an end. Today was our last day of a busy week of D.O. Many children came to school this morning in traditional Omani outfits - girls in colorful dresses and matching headscarves, and boys in crisp white disdasha and kuma. Our children had a fun-filled morning at the Omani tent, experiencing Omani traditions and cultures - learning about its traditional attire, foods, dance and music. They had a great time trying out dates, sweets, "coffee", as well as getting some unique henna and face paint designs.
Coincidentally, it was also the 100th day of school. We have been counting the number of days in school since the first day - noting it on our calendar, 100's chart, place value chart, and 10-frames. Two weeks ago, as we reached the 90th day of school, we decided it'd be fun to "countdown" to 100th day. Today, just before Omani Tent event, all of the three first grade classes got together in the basketball court, doing 100 exercises. Knowing that 10 groups of 10 make 100, we did 10 sets of 10 different exercises - jumping jacks, hopping on one leg, should shrugs, touching our toes, circling our arms, etc. It was a great workout for all!
