Ain Aar students go on many field trips

Since field trips help students interact with what they are learning, the teachers at Ain Aar have been organizing numerous ones all over town. It’s been a welcome break in the routine. Students look forward to and prepare for the field trip for several days, spend the day in a different environment, then complete a lesson on the topic covered after the trip is over. Learning in assorted ways can appeal to varied learning styles, helping children to succeed whether they are visual (seeing), auditory (hearing), kinesthetic (moving), or tactile (touching) learners.

Alone Together

“Alone Together” is a collection of poems in two languages that resulted from a correspondence that started by post and continued virtually. Aida Y. Haddad lives in Washington DC. She used to live in Athens. She writes in Arabic. Mishka Mojabber Mourani (IC Senior Vice President) lives in Beirut. She writes in English. They have been sharing their writing, and translating each other’s work, across continents and years. This book began as an airmail correspondence between them when Aida lived in Greece. The letters eventually became emails and travelled between the USA and Lebanon. Dualities of space, time and language were very much a part of “Alone, Together.” (Excerpt from back cover)
