<br />
It was fantastic to see so many of our students who participate and excel in sports, arts and academics, from the football and swim teams, to our PAD musicals to Mathcounts, everyone sitting in that Auditorium was a shining example of what it means to be a ROC.<br />
<br />
It was quite amazing to see so many of our teams who won first place in the tournaments that they participated in. These included our Varsity football team, Swim team, Archery team, Table Tennis team and Athletics and Basketball Teams.<br />
<br />
Belonging to the different clubs and activities the ABC offers is not only a great way to develop a skill, it also provides great lessons in resilience and being a leader and team player. If your child is not part of one of our clubs, we strongly encourage that you motivate them to join one next school year so that we have even more ROCs being recognised next year.<br />

<br />
Esta mañana, se podía sentir la emoción en nuestro auditorio, ya que cientos de los participantes del Lap of Honour se habían reunido para la asamblea de premiación liderada por Mr. Keslake, Ms. Cáceres y Ms. Cecy Hernández.<br />
<br />
Fue fantástico ver a tantos de nuestros alumnos que participan y sobresalen en deportes, artes y el ámbito académico. Desde los equipos de fútbol y natación, los elencos de los musicales del departamento de Artes Escénicas hasta el equipo de Mathcounts, todos los que estaban sentados en el auditorio eran un excelente ejemplo d elo que significa ser un ROC.<br />
<br />
También fue muy satisfactorio ver como tantos de nuestros equipos obtuvieron el primer lugar en los diferentes torneos en los que participaron. Entre estos equipos estaba la U19 de fútbol masculino, el equipo de natación, de tiro con arco, tenis de mesa, atletismo y baloncesto.<br />
<br />
Pertenecer a los diferentes clubes y actividades que ofrece la ABC no solo es una manera buena de desarrollar una habilidad, también es algo que provee grandes lecciones relacionadas a la resiliencia y ser un lider y jugador en equipo. Si su hijo no forma parte de alguno de nuestros clubes, los invitamos a que los motiven a unirse a alguno el próximo año escolar, para así tener aún más ROCs para premiar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003867901564949272.post-10674422914901029762019-03-11T14:30:00.001-07:002019-03-11T14:30:16.673-07:00Mathcounts in Mexico/ Mathcounts en México<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">Our participants represented their school and their country with great pride. These seventh and eighth graders displayed a high level of preparation, obtaining first place in the Math Relay portion, with a perfect score and best time out of all the teams, as well as two Mathcounts trophies, with Team A winning second place and Team B winning 3rd place.</span></div>

Every year volunteers gather on the 23rd of December in the ABC Auditorium to build kits which are going to be delivered to those who need it the most. Around 50,000 kits are put together, including shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, snacks such as cookies and candies, blankets and of course, pupusas. Apparently we delivered over five thousand kits across the country.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The next day the volunteers were divided into groups to go to different local communities. My community was in Nejapa, so on the 24th of December in the early morning I went with my group and our kits to give out. It was an amazing experience to see how happy everyone was to receive their kits. People were so grateful, and it really helped me to reflect on how grateful we should be for all of the things we have and the real meaning of giving and sharing on Christmas. We also had piñatas and games for the kids and by the end everyone had had a great time. Thank you Operation Pupusa for making this possible.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Operación Pupusa inició hace 9 años. Cada 23 de diciembre, se juntan en el Auditorio de la ABC todos los voluntarios para hacer kits para entregar a quienes más lo necesitan. Estos incluyen champú, desodorante, pasta dental, cepillo dental, golosinas, frazadas y por supuesto, pupusas. Se estima que se entregaron más de 5,000 kits alrededor del país.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Los voluntarios son divididos en grupos para ir a diferentes comunidades. La comunidad a la que me toco ir estaba en Nejapa, así que el 24 de diciembre, fuimos con mi grupo desde temprano en la mañana hasta el mediodía. Fue una experiencia increíble, porque la gente se alegró mucho cuando les entregamos sus kits. Era gente que estaba muy agradecida y me ayudó mucho a reflexionar y pensar que debemos ser agradecidos por todo lo que tenemos y la importancia de dar y compartir durante la Navidad.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">También hubo piñatas y juegos para los más pequeños y al final de la jornada, todos la habían pasado muy bien. Muchas gracias a Operación Pupusa por hacer esto posible.</span><br />

The ABC is proud to kick off its holidays in the true spirit of the Christmas season: giving back. Some of our students had the chance to go to the Teletón this Saturday and hand over our donation. This was done thanks to the hard work of our teachers and students involved with the cause, who helped raise money by selling t-shirts and various promotional items.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
We also had 3 different jeans days so that all of our community could show their support by wearing their Teletón t-shirt. It was wonderful to see so many children and staff wearing them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The final amount raised was $7095.87 and we are excited to see how that helps provide therapy, wheelchairs and more to so many Salvadorians in need.<br />
<br />
In addition, we received hundreds of shoeboxes to give to kids in rural communities around El Salvador. It is rewarding to know that such a simple gesture will brighten a child's Christmas season. We are also very grateful for all the toy donations we received in Lower Primary. These will also go to children who would otherwise not receive gifts during this time of year. On Tuesday, a group of teachers will visit Hospital San Rafael to hand out toys to sick children.<br />
<br />
We cannot mention helping our community without including our Primary Santa's Festival. All funds raised from games, pictures with Santa Claus and food will be used to pay tuition fees for more than a dozen children related to our maintenance and security staff. It was great to see our community come together and contribute to help those members of our school who put their best foot forward in helping us every day. We will know the final total raised in January, but we know it will be a great help to our Fairs to Educate committee.<br />
<br />
We are sure our Bulldogs will spend the rest of their vacation days doing what we do best, thinking globally and acting locally!</div>

La ABC está muy orgullosa de dar inicio a sus vacaciones sintiendo el verdadero espíritu de la época navideña: ayudando a otros. Algunos de nuestros alumnos tuvieron la oportunidad de ir a la Teletón este sábado para entregar el donativo en nombre de todo el colegio. Toda lo recaudado fue gracias al arduo trabajo del personal y alumnos que se involucraron con esta causa, quienes ayudaron vendiendo camisetas y otros artículos promocionales.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

También tuvimos 3 Jeans Days para que toda nuestra comunidad pudiera manifestar su apoyo a la Teletón luciendo su camiseta. Fue muy satisfactorio ver a tanto alumno y maestro con su camiseta.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">

<span style="font-family: , , , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">El monto donado fue de $7095.87, y nos llena de emoción pensar en cómo esa cifra se convertirá en terapias, sillas de ruedas y otros servicios para muchos salvadoreños que lo necesitan. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: , , , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Asimismo, recibimos cientos de cajas de zapatos para dar a niños en diferentes zonas rurales del país. Nos llena de felicidad saber que un gesto tan sencillo puede resultar en alegrar la época navideña de un niño que lo necesita. También estamos muy agradecidos con todas las donaciones de juguetes que recibimos en Lower Primary. Estos también irán a niños que probablemente no recibirán otros regalos en está época del año. El martes por la mañana, un grupo de profesoras repartirá estos regalos en el Hospital San Rafael.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: , , , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: , , , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">No podemos hablar de ayudar a nuestra comunidad sin incluir el Santa's Festival de Primaria. Todos los fondos recaudados de los juegos, fotos con Santa y comida se utilizarán para pagar las matrículas y colegiaturas de decenas de hijos de nuestro personal de mantenimiento y seguridad. Fue increíble ver cómo se unió nuestra comunidad para ayudar aquellos que todos los días dan su mejor esfuerzo para mantener nuestro colegio limpio, ordenado y seguro. Sabremos el monto exacto que se recaudó hasta en enero, pero sabemos que será de gran ayuda para el Comité de Becas.</span><br />

<div>
Starting in Grade 11, our students take on an extra subject called HNC (Historia Nacional y Cívica) in order to obtain the best preparation possible for the PAES.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When the date of the test came around, Grade 12 was all set to tackle this challenge with ease. We are proud to report that the Class of 2019 did not disappoint. 100% scored within the "Nivel Superior" category, which is the highest possible ranking for the grade obtained by the student. Our overall average of 8.35 was also our best ever score. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, we would like to give a special congratulations to our top 3 PAES scores, which were achieved by Sebastián Avilés, David Fuentes and Sebastián Carranza. Their effort lead to great success and we could not be more proud of them for representing the ABC so well. We are sure their hard work and resilience will also shine through when they get their IB results!</div>

Parece que la primera parte de nuestro año escolar ha pasado volando y como si nada, era la hora para que nuestro 12o grado tomara la prueba PAES.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Desde 11o grado, nuestros alumnos empiezan a llevar la materia de Historia Nacional y Cívica, con el fin de obtener la mejor preparación posible para la PAES.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
El día de la prueba, 12o grado estaba listo para enfrentar este reto con facilidad. Estamos orgullosos de reportar que la Clase del 2019 no nos decepcionó. el 100% obtuvieron notas dentro de la más alta categoría, llamada "Nivel Superior".</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sin embargo, deseamos hacer una mención especial a los 3 alumnos más destacados en la PAES de esta promoción, Sebastián Avilés, David Fuentes y Sebastián Carranza. Su esfuerzo los llevo a un enorme éxito y no pudiéramos estar más orgullosos de ellos por representar tan bien a la ABC. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">¡</span>Estamos seguros que su trabajo duro y resiliencia también se harán notar cuando reciban sus resultados del IB!</div>

Ha sido una semana repleta de victorias de Team Sports para la ABC, ya que nuestro equipo U12 de balonmano ha representado de gran manera a nuestro colegio.<br />
<br />
Este equipo se convirtió en el campeón INVICTO del torneo de los Juegos Estudiantiles, jugando dos rondas contra diferentes colegios nacionales, incluyendo dos equipos del Colegio Don Bosco.<br />
<br />
El balonmano es uno de los deportes mas nuevos que ofrece nuestro colegio, lo que hace esta victoria aún más especial, ya que nuestros alumnos han demostrado resultados excelentes junto a un gran potencial para esta disciplina.<br />

Our community has lots of reasons to feel proud of the ABC, but this week, our U12 boys' basketball team brought us together in celebration with a 2nd place in a national Juegos Estudiantiles tournament.</div>
<div class="gE iv gt" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; cursor: auto; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; padding: 20px 0px 0px;">
The games took place in the form of a "lightning tournament", and the ABC stood among the group of 11 winners at a department level.</div>

After a heated semi final, our Bulldogs achieved a place in the coveted final spot. Our ABC students gave it their all during every match, bringing out the best in themselves and their teammates. Our team excelled at blocking their opponents, and our strategy was filled with elaborate plays that eventually led us to second place. This would have not been achieved thanks to the great support from parents and coaches.</div>

Team Sports are an amazing opportunity for our students to develop confidence and discipline and our U12 basketball boys exemplify those traits and are a great example for younger students who look up to them.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Nuestra comunidad tiene muchas razones para sentirse orgullosa de nuestro colegio, pero esta semana, los niños del equipo de basketball U12, nos unieron en celebración al ganar 2o lugar el el torneo departamental de los Juegos Estudiantiles.</span></div>

Después de una intensa semifinal, nuestros Bulldogs obtuvieron su ansiado puesto en la final. Nuestros alumnos se entregaron en cada partido, dando lo mejor de si mismos y sacando lo mejor de sus compañeros. Tuvimos una marcación fuerte y hubo jugadas elaboradas que nos permitieron clasificar y así llegar a la final, obteniendo el segundo lugar.Este logro no se pudo haber obtenido sin el gran apoyo de los entrenadores y padres de familia.</div>

El programa de Team Sports es una excelente oportunidad para que nuestros alumnos desarrollen confianza en si mismos y disciplina y nuestros alumnos de la U12 ejemplifican esas cualidades y son un gran ejemplo para aquellos estudiantes menores que los admiran.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525;"><i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The IGCSE is a programme that runs through Grades 9 and 10, which strongly encourages students to develop a global outlook and promotes international mindedness through its approaches to learning & teaching. However, it also instills in them cultural awareness, and helps them look at global issues through the local lens, to empower them to engage with their communities. IGCSE learners are global citizens in every way.</span></i></span></div>

<br />
Our ABC Bulldogs did not hesitate to jump into action when they came to school on Monday morning and Grade 11 took charge and rallied the whole school to help out our Guatemalan brothers and sisters.<br />
<br />
During this week, students from the class of 2019 have gone round to every grade, collecting donations which include, tinned food, blankets, personal hygiene items, diapers and more.<br />
We are very happy to report that the donations have been plentiful and have taken over most of the Secondary office!<br />
<br />
We would like to thank our community for coming together during this time, we have demonstrated the very essence of what thinking globally and acting locally means.<br />

Cuando el Volcán de Fuego hizo erupción en Guatemala a principios de esta semana, decenas de personas se vieron afectadas por la ceniza y lava que arrasó con sus hogares y pertenencias.<br />
<br />
Nuestros Bulldogs no dudaron en hacer algo al respecto cuando vinieron al colegio el lunes por la mañana y 11o grado se hizo cargo y convocó a todo el colegio para ayudar a nuestros hermanos guatemaltecos.<br />
<br />
Durante la semana, los alumnos de 11o grado han ido de clase en clase recolectando las donaciones que incluyen: comida enlatada, cobijas, artículos de higiene personal y pañales, entre otros. Estamos muy satisfechos de reportar que las donaciones han sido numerosas <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">¡</span>y han tomado casi todo el espacio de la oficina de Secundaria!<br />

<br />
With Queen's music as the soundtrack, <i>We Will Rock You</i> is a story set in a world where everyone is forced to conform. They must all listen to the same music, go to the same school and work for the same company.<br />
<br />
However, protagonists Galileo and Scaramouche, find a way to break free from society's constraints and live in the world of music they always dreamed of.<br />
<br />
The musical premiered on Thursday April 12th, and received rave reviews. There is also one more show today at 6:00 pm. If you did not have a chance to go yesterday, then do not miss out and come along tonight!<br />
<br />
Many thanks to our Performing Arts Department for all their hard work to ensure the play was a success. We would also like to congratulate all the actors and backstage crew, you outdo yourselves every year!<br />
<br />

Si les gusta la música de Queen, con éxitos como <i>Bohemian Rhapsody</i> y <i>Under Pressure</i>, es su día de suerte: la más reciente obra musical de la ABC, We Will Rock You, es justo lo indicado.<br />
<br />
Con los éxitos de Queen como pista musical, <i>We Will Rock You</i> es una historia que se lleva a cabo en un mundo en el cual no se fomenta la individualidad. Todos deben escuchar la misma música, ir a la misma escuela y trabajar para la misma empresa.<br />
<br />
Sin embargo, los protagonistas, Galileo y Scaramouche, descubren la manera de romper las cadenas que les impone la sociedad y logran vivir en el mundo lleno de música que siempre soñaron.<br />
<br />
El show dio inicio el jueves 12 de abril, y agradó a todos los presentes. Queda todavía una función este viernes a las 6:00 pm. Si no tuvieron la oportunidad de asistir ayer, <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">¡</span>no se lo pierdan y vengan ahora!<br />
<br />
Muchas gracias a nuestro departamento de Performing Arts por todo su trabajo. También deseamos extender nuestras más sinceras felicitaciones al elenco y al equipo de apoyo, <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">¡</span>lo hacen mejor cada año!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003867901564949272.post-47664106453930325332018-03-16T09:35:00.003-07:002018-03-16T09:35:42.635-07:00IB Art Exhibition/ Exposición de Arte IBOur annual IB Art exhibition officially opened this past Tuesday, with our Grade 12 Art students, along with their friends and family participating in a reception that celebrated their talent and success during their IB programme.<br />
<br />
The different exhibits are a product of their hard work for the past two years. From photographs, to sculptures, to oil paintings, our artists have used a variety of mediums to express their feelings about current social issues.<br />
<br />
On Wednesday, the exhibition opened to the general public and we are very happy that so many members of our community have come to take a look at all the artwork.<br />
We are also extremely proud that our students have used their IB Art portfolios to apply to various international schools, and have been accepted into prestigious institutions such as the Savannah College of Art and Design.<br />
<br />
We would like to congratulate these students, along with their teachers for such a fantastic display of talent. We are sure that they will go on to producing a lot more wonderful work in their futures.<br />

Nuestra Exposición anual de Arte de IB se inauguró oficialmente este martes, junto a nuestros alumnos de 12o Grado y sus familias y amistades, quienes participaron en un coctel para celebrar su talento y éxito dentro del programa del IB.<br />
<br />
Las diferentes obras son producto de su arduo trabajo durante los últimos dos años. Entre fotografías, esculturas y pinturas en óleo, por mencionar algunas, nuestros artistas han utilizado una variedad diversa de medios para expresar sus sentimientos relacionados a temas sociales actuales.<br />
<br />
El miércoles, la exposición abrió al público general y estamos muy contentos con todos los miembros de la comunidad que han venido a dar un vistazo a todas las obras.<br />
También nos sentimos muy orgullosos que nuestros alumnos han utilizado sus portafolios de Arte de IB para aplicar a diferentes universidades internacionales, y han sido aceptados a instituciones de prestigio como el Savannah College of Art and Design.<br />
<br />
Deseamos felicitar a estos alumnos, junto a sus maestras por esta fantástica exposición. Estamos seguros que seguirán produciendo increíbles obras en su futuro.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003867901564949272.post-47106611216511613802018-03-09T13:22:00.003-08:002018-03-11T07:39:59.146-07:00MATHCOUNTS CHAMPIONS!/ ¡CAMPEONES DE MATHCOUNTS!AMAZING PERFORMANCE<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This week saw the Upper Primary students and parents compete for the honour of “Best Sports Tribe” in the Annual ABC Sports & Family Fun Day which was held on Saturday 17th February. With two sessions over the course of the morning, all of the children in Upper Primary had the opportunity to score points by taking part in fun events and relay races for their tribes. There were great performances from a lot of the children, too many to mention individually, with all of the running, catching, as well as the slip & slide events. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With 5 points for a win, 4 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd and 2 for 4th as well as double points for relays, the whole competition came down to the last race of the day. With only 2 points separating 1st Placed Pipiles and 2nd placed Mayas, it was going to go all the way down to the wire. All the Pipiles had to do was beat the Maya Tribe in their final event of the day and the trophy was theirs. The race was magnificent, the lead changed a number of times at the start and then coming into the home straight it was just a sprint to the end. The Inca tribe ran their hearts out and took the victory on the line, with Pipiles taking a very close 2nd Place. Aztecas took 3rd place with the Maya tribe coming in 4th. It was sealed the 2nd Place in the last event meant that they had done enough to secure victory. Pipiles had won the ABC Sports & Family Fun Day 2018.</span></div>

Esta semana vimos a estudiantes y padres de familia de Upper Primary competir por el honor de “Best Sports Tribe” (Mejor tribu deportiva) durante el Annual ABC Sports & Family Day (Día deportivo y familiar anual de la ABC), el cual se realizo el sábado 17 de febrero. Hubo dos sesiones en el transcurso de la mañana, y todos los niños en la sección de Upper Primary tuvieron la oportunidad de anotar puntos participando en divertidos eventos y carreras de relevos representando a sus tribus. Hubo desempeños increíbles de muchos niños, demasiados para mencionarlos individualmente, todos corrieron, cacharon además de participar en eventos donde se deslizaron y se resbalaron.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.2px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.2px;">
Con 5 puntos para ganar, 4 para el 2do lugar, 3 para el 3ro y 2 para el 4to, además de doble puntos para los relevos, toda la competencia se resumió en la última carrera del dia. Con tan solo dos puntos separando el 1er lugar de los Pipiles y el 2do lugar de los Mayas, las cosas llegaron hasta el último momento. Todo lo que los Pipiles debían hacer era vencer a los Mayas en su evento final del día y el trofeo sería de ellos. La carrera fue magnifica, la delantera fue alternada varias veces al comienzo y luego al llegar a la meta. La tribu Inca corrieron como nunca y se llevaron la victoria, los Pipiles se llevaron un cercano 2do lugar. Los Aztecas se llevaron el 3er lugar y los Maya el 4to. Aseguraron el 2do lugar en el último evento, lo que significó que habían hecho lo suficiente para asegurar la victoria. Los Pipiles habían ganado el ABC Sports & Family Day 2018 (Día deportivo y familiar anual de la ABC).</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.2px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.2px;">
Felicitaciones a todos los participantes, fue un dia fantástico. Al irse a casa, casi todos los niños se veían cansados y tenían sonrisas dibujadas en sus rostros, que es lo que se puede pedir de un evento escolar.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13.2px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.2px;">
Muchas gracias al personal de PE quienes organizaron el evento, además al personal de UP quienes apoyaron a los niños para que completaran las actividades.

Over the last few years, it seems like the concept of Child Centered Learning has risen in popularity, and is often misunderstood or misused by educational institutions.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Child Centered Learning is much more than just colourful classrooms and creative activities. It is about truly listening to our children and respecting their ideas. An example of that are the Pop Up Playgrounds we use to foster independence and teamwork.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
At the ABC, our Early Years team believe that children <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">have to learn in a world that belongs to them, where they are in charge and have the choice to decide what to create and how they're going to do it. An environment where children are free to become anything they want and where adults are there to offer guidance without pressure.</span></div>

Durante los últimos años, parece que el concepto de Aprendizaje Centrado en el Niño ha crecido en popularidad, y muchas veces es malentendido o utilizado de manera incorrecta por las instituciones educativas.</div>
<div style="letter-spacing: -0.12px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
El Aprendizaje Centrado en el Niño va más allá de las aulas coloridas y actividades creativas. Se trata de verdaderamente escuchar a nuestros alumnos y respetar sus ideas. Un ejemplo de esto, son los "Pop Up Playgrounds"que usamos para fomentar la independencia y el trabajo en equipo.</div>
<div style="letter-spacing: -0.12px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: -0.12px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
En la ABC, nuestro equipo de Early Years cree que los niños deben aprender dentro de un mundo que les pertenezca a ellos, en donde ellos estén a cargo y donde tengan la opción de decidir que van a crear y como lo van a lograr. Un entorno en donde los niños tienen la libertad de convertirse en lo que ellos quieran y en el que los adultos son guías que no ejercen presión.</div>
<div style="letter-spacing: -0.12px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Es por medio de este enfoque hacia el aprendizaje que estamos orgullosos de ser los pioneros en el Aprendizaje Centrado en el Niño de El Salvador.</div>
<div style="letter-spacing: -0.12px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: -0.12px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Si usted tiene hijos en Pre-Kinder- Prepa, hágale preguntas acerca de las Pop Up Playgrounds. Averigüe lo que crearon y lo que aprendieron, estamos seguros que se sorprenderá al ver lo orgullosos que se sienten los niños cuando se les da la libertad de crear independientemente.</div>

A global ABC student possesses an awareness of the needs of those around them and although they think globally, they act locally to impact their communities in a positive way.<br />
<br />
Our Secondary Student Council is a shining example of this mindset. Not only do they represent the student voice throughout the school, they also make sure to lead by example, coming up with ways to help our community.<br />
<br />
This time, the Student Council gave Hospital Bloom the funds they collected from the Guy Fawkes Spooky Cellar, which will be used to heal children in the burns unit.<br />
<br />
We are very proud of all their hard work and their effort to become responsible outstanding citizens, not only through projects like this one, but also with their smaller, everyday actions.<br />
<br />

La ABC toma muy en serio su compromiso con formar ciudadanos globales. Un ciudadano global de la ABC posee conciencia de las necesidades de quienes lo rodean y aunque piensan globalmente, actúan localmente para marcar a su comunidad de manera positiva.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Nuestro Concejo Estudiantil de Secundaria es un brillante ejemplo de esta mentalidad. No solo representan la voz del alumnado, también se aseguran de predicar con el ejemplo, pensando en maneras de ayudar a nuestra comunidad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Esta vez, el Concejo Estudiantil recaudó fondos por medio del Spooky Cellar en el evento de Guy Fawkes. Estos fondos fueron donados al Hospital Bloom para tratar a niños con quemaduras.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Estamos muy orgullosos de todo su trabajo y su esfuerzo por convertirse en ciudadanos responsables y sobresalientes, no solo a través de proyectos como este, pero también por medio de sus acciones del día a día.</div>

The ABC teams had an amazing day at the Mathcounts competition on Saturday. It was a festival of mathematics and a pleasure to participate in. Thank you to the EA for hosting the event. Thank you to so many parents, staff and friends who came to support our students.</div>
<br />
Having already won the Math relay the previous day our three ABC Mathcounts teams performed brilliantly. The tournament involved over 200 students, 51 teams and 18 schools including most of the bilingual schools here in San Salvador. One of our teams involving Fernando Caballero, Adriana Menjivar, Diego Narvaez and Jonathan Rodenzo finished equal first with the American School of Guatemala and our team of Andres Reis, Luis Nunez, Diego Salguero and Ricardo Vasquez came third. Our team of Marcos Narvaez, Nelson Salinas, Lucas Cornejo and Carlos Arevalo finished twelfth overall (remember out of over 50 teams!). We are so proud of all of them! In the individual competition Fernando came second and Jonathan came fourth and we had four students in the top 10. We also had students participating and trying their very best throughout the two days. Well done team and especial thanks to Mario Canas our head coach and to all the math staff who worked with him.<br />

<br />
TED is a nonpartisan nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks.<br />
<br />
We had many amazing participants, ranging from bloggers, to educators, engineers and YouTube personalities. However, we would like to say a big congratulations to our 3 ABC students that also did their own talks.<br />
<br />
It takes a lot of courage to talk in front of so many people, and you all did a fantastic job, we enjoyed this event immensely!<br />

<br />
As a values based and IPC accredited school, we firmly believe that learning does not only happen when children are sitting inside a classroom, so for us, field trips and overnight stays area vital part of the curriculum which we work so hard to keep engaging and vibrant for our children.<br />
<br />
This past weekend, it was Grade 3's turn to embark on their camping adventure. They left school for Tenerife in the morning and spent the rest of their day participating in empowerment and teamwork activities, playing in the outdoors and sharing delicious food.<br />
<br />
Parents also play an important role in these trips, and we are very grateful for the group that came along for support.<br />
<br />
By Saturday morning, the children were tired from all the fun they had, in between nighttime activities with torches and a sports rally the next morning!<br />
<br />
Thank you to our Grade 3 team for planning this activity so well and ensuring that they become valuable memories for our students.<br />
<br />
****<br />
<br />
Los campamentos se han vuelto una tradición muy querida en Primaria, y con buena razón.<br />
<br />
Como colegio acreditado por el IPC y basado en valores, creemos firmemente que el aprendizaje no solo ocurre cuando los niños están sentados dentro de un aula. Es por eso que para nosotros, las excursiones y paseos son un componente vital del currículo. Trabajamos duro para que este sea siempre interesante y divertido para los niños.<br />
<br />
El fin de semana pasado, fue el turno de acampar de 3er Grado. Partieron hacia Tenerife por la mañana y pasaron el resto del día participando en actividades de empoderamiento y trabajo en equipo, jugando al aire libre y compartiendo deliciosa comida.<br />
<br />
Los padres de familia también juegan un papel muy importante en estos viajes, y estamos muy agradecidos por el grupo que nos brindó apoyo en esta ocasión.<br />
<br />
El sábado por la mañana, <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">¡</span>los niños estaban cansados por toda la diversión, entre las actividades con linternas por la noche y un torneo deportivo la mañana siguiente!<br />
<br />
Muchas gracias a nuestro equipo de 3er grado por planificar esta actividad y asegurarse que se conviertan recuerdos valiosos para nuestros alumnos.<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The
report was over 30 pages long and identified that we met the accreditation
standard of developing in all these areas and that we reached the standard of
mastering in International Mindedness. The accreditation is valid for three
years and then we will start to plan for a re-accreditation process and
hopefully even more categories in mastering. The report makes some very
positive comments about our school, our students, our staff and our parents. I
would like to share a few of them with you.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

know and can articulate their learning, reflect on their learning and can
use these reflections to improve their learning. All children were excited
about their learning, talked enthusiastically about their learning and
were very keen to share their learning.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All
teachers had clear learning objectives and the team saw a range of
annotated unit reviews that showed thought and reflection as to how to
develop learning further. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All

learn and we saw children coming into school enthusiastically ready for a
day of learning.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

offering a wide range of opportunities, and they saw this as an integral
part of their school vision.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All
classrooms had displays that refer to knowledge, skills and understanding
with images and definitions and teachers provided children opportunities
to reflect on these, which was evident in books.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Learning
was consistently well presented and recorded in a variety of ways.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In

the children’s understanding and perspectives.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
