What kind of planning takes place - if any? If you are reading this, then you are most likely aware of how lessons and tests are delivered by checking RenWeb or speaking with your child or e-mailing your child's teachers. You understand that your child's performance is being evaluated. But, did you know that our teachers are creating and documenting their teaching units using a thoughtful process called Understanding by Design? This intentional instructional framework provides your child with content, skills, and dispositions that help them not only succeed in learning, but targets all tests and evaluations to specific national and international school standards. All teachers at BFS are asked to align what they do in class with national American standards - standards that are internationally recognized as well. Our work in administration is to make sure that our teachers have the necessary skills and tools to deliver these planned lessons in the most effective manner possible. With this kind of attention to instruction, what's learned in our classrooms PreK 3 - 12 will be transferrable to new situations your child will face as they grow and develop. We believe that through this kind of planning, your child receives a world class educational experience. Page 2! SCHOOL WIDE EVENTS Valentine’s at Busan Foreign School Busan Foreign School started getting ready for Valentine’s Day at least a month before the event. Candy Grams for everyone!!! The Student Council allowed students to purchase them and ensured they would be delivered to friends and teachers on the 13th. The PTSO also organised the Elementary Valentine’s bingo, which this year also included early childhood students. With over 100 students the PTSO was extremely glad so many parents and teachers volunteered and help the children with their bingo cards. THANK YOU for making this day so special!

Page 6 EARLY CHILDHOOD AND ELEMENTARY Early Childhood (EC) 100th Day of school Pre-K 3 and K-4 students are 100 days smarter! We celebrated the 100th day of school on February 11. We started the day by sharing our family homework, where students made posters with 100 of an object. Our students had some great, creative posters, including ones with 100 tea bags, 100 marbles, 100 pom pom balls, 100 pieces of taffy, and 100 stickers! They look great on our bulletin board. Then, we continued the celebration by making treat bags with 100 treats inside, making a 100 day crown, making 100 hand prints, and finding 100 cubes on the playground! School Buddies The next day, we celebrated the 101st day of school with our book buddies in Mr. Z’s class. Since it was the 101st day of school, of course we learned about the book 101 Dalmatians! We made 101 dots on a dog, and watched a little bit of the movie.
