On behalf of entire staff of Rainbow International School I would like to welcome you for the new school year with great expectations and resolutions geared toward continued success for all of the students and staff at RIS. I hope everyone had a restful, relaxing summer vacation. I know that all of us are looking forward to a successful and productive school year. We have set high expectations for ourselves and our students this year hoping to achieve a great success. Rainbow International School provides a safe learning environment to gain the knowledge and skills for a successful future. We have exceptional students, parents, staff, and community members working together to provide meaningful educational opportunities. Rainbow International School has a strong tradition of supportive, hardworking parents. Throughout the year parents have the opportunity to develop that partnership in a wide variety of ways. Parents join the PTA, volunteer in the classroom and library, help at the family sports day, attend meetings, read to their children and help in many other ways. It is important to your child that you are involved in some way at school. It’s a way to let your child know you think his or her school is important.
RIS Staff everywhere recognize the important contributions parents make toward a child’s success in the school. There is no question about it - success at school begins at home. We depend on the parents to assist us in helping the students attain success. The following ways have been proven to enhance the testing abilities of students: Make sure students attend school regularly and on time. Assist students in understanding and completing homework assignments. Read to your children regularly and encourage them to read daily. Expose your children to computer software materials to reinforce skills. Have your children practice writing and using the dictionary to define words. Be sure to include problemsolving skills in mathematics while working with your children. At RIS we all must continue to work together to help our students grow to be productive members of our society. I hope this year is peaceful and prosperous for you and your family. We appreciate all that you do to help us achieve our goals.

Motivation gets you moving. Determination keeps you going.
Welcome to Grade 1 with Ms. Esther! I am from New Jersey in the United States. I graduated from Rutgers University with a B.A. in English and a minor in psychology. Thereafter in 2008, I received a Master of Arts in Teaching in Elementary Education from The College of New Jersey in the United States. I worked for three years as a teacher and program coordinator at a learning center for elementary and middle school aged students. This is my first time working in Korea and am more than thrilled to be at Rainbow International School. Grade 1 is starting the year off with a fresh start! The first few weeks of school will be
a time for the teacher to assess each student as well as to review what the students learned in kindergarten. First grade is a critical year in developing language arts skills. There will be much focus on reading and writing in a series of stages. By the end of the year, parents can expect students to be able to read and write independently. In mathematics, students will develop number sense and develop basic mathematical skills. Currently, the class is counting the days of school so that we can celebrate the 100th day of school! I am excited to teach an eager class of bright students as well as to be a part of such a wonderful community at RIS!
Second Grade Teacher Who? Who? It's Grade 2! This year the grade 2 class will shock you! They are a group of bright individuals eager to learn and have fun! Come along with us as we learn all about plants and animals, environments, weather, and rocks and minerals in Science. In Language Arts we will read and write our way through tall tales, poems, fiction, non fiction, and readers theatre books. Social Studies will bring us closer to our communities, working together, and traditions. Add you plus me equals a lot of fun in mathematics! Where we will be adding and subtracting two digit numbers, along with geometry, fractions, money, measurement,
multiplication, division, and time. Wait! Time! What time is it? Time to tell you all about the homeroom teacher! Ms. Amanda Allen is from Windsor, Ontario, Canada. She taught two years in Canada before coming to South Korea with her fiance Eric. Together they taught in Bundang for one year. Ms. Allen went to Nipissing University for her teacher's training and the University of Windsor for her undergraduate studies in English Languages and Literatures.

Third Grade Teacher Hello Parents! My name is Julia Lee and I am the third grade teacher at RIS. I feel extremely privileged to have the responsibility of being your child’s teacher this year. I was raised in the state of New Jersey in the United States. Upon receiving my degrees in English and Elementary Education, I came to Korea, where I have been teaching for the past two years. We will be studying and working on many new and exciting things this year. Third grade is a year of transition from the development of skills to the development of independence. It is a time for students to begin to assume responsibility for their education and become life-long learners. Our curriculum, which is aligned to the National Standards, will ensure that your child is well equipped with the tools to become as successful as he/she can be. In Language Arts, reading instruction is at the individual student’s level through small group daily reading lessons. Students participate in daily Guided Reading lessons using leveled books. Third graders spend 10-15 minutes daily in D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) time during the school day. All students are required to keep a reading log at home that will be signed by the guardian. Children need to read daily in order to improve their comprehension skills and fluency/reading rate. Third grade strives to incorporate writing
across the curriculum in all subject areas. In their writing notebooks, students will write about different topics so they can have many opportunities to write and to improve their confidence in writing. We will work on the writing process, which includes brainstorming, drafting, editing, revising, publishing, and peer feedback. We will also being working on the 6+1 traits of writing. In Math, students will learn problem solving strategies throughout the year. We will be focusing on word problems. Students will do math drills, in which they have to try to complete as many math problems as they can, given a time limit of one minute. Through this daily drill, students will be able to really hone their math facts. In Science, students will mainly investigate living things and the earth around us. Through observations, hypotheses, and various experiments, students will be able to use a hands-on approach to learning science. In Social Studies, we will learn about the community and different cultures, and also delve into a bit of economics, citizenship, government, and geography. As I’ve communicated before, I believe that a strong home-to-school connection is vital in your child’s success. I hope that we can work as a team to help your child reach the stars this year.
Fourth Grade Teacher Greetings RIS Family, My name is Jill Shaw, I am from Nova Scotia Canada and this is my fourth school year at RIS. I have excitedly watched the school grow and this year there are many great improvements in technology and teaching innovations. As our RIS family grows we are continually looking for ways to better serve our students and I am looking forward to implementing Active Boards, e-books and several interactive websites into our grade four curriculum.
In grade four there is a strong emphasis on community and cooperative learning that ensures each child’s unique learning style is nurtured and respected in every class. I feel building a close relationship with students and parents will help each child grow and develop. We are anticipating a great year at RIS with a highly qualified teaching staff that is devoted to ensuring each child reaches their highest potential. I look forward to meeting many families and I am confident together we will all make this the best school year possible J
Self Confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.

Fifth Grade Teacher
Diversity is one of the true things we all have in common. Celebrate it everyday.
Hello Parents! My name is Ms. Sawlor and I will be the fifth grade teacher this year. I am from Canada and have lived in Korea for three years. This will be my sixth year of teaching and I am very excited to be working for a second year here at Rainbow International School. My Grade 5 classroom is place where I strive to help all students reach their learning potential. We are a community within the RIS community. Grade 5 is a place where students are encouraged to participate and offer their opinions, while respecting those of others. Our classroom is a community where sharing, teamwork and cooperation are constantly promoted. I believe that students learn best when they feel a sense of belonging and are comfortable taking risks, which is the
environment I strive to provide to all students in my class. While studying together, we will be covering a curriculum that will prepare all students for graduation from elementary and into middle school. Students will cover a curriculum that will allow them to develop their skills in all content areas. Throughout the year our grade 5 learning objectives will be met through a variety of teaching strategies that will include all student learning styles. I look forward to teaching all of your children this year. I am excited to discover each student’s culture, background and learning style. I also look forward to working together with you to ensure all my grade five students have a successful and enjoyable fifth grade experience!
Sixth Grade & MS Social Studies Teacher Hi Parents! My name is Michelle Maher and I am from the United States. I am this year’s Middle School Social Studies teacher at The Rainbow International School and I am excited to be part of the team! I have a MA in Secondary History Education from the NEAG School of Education at the University of Connecticut. I believe that Middle School Social Studies is about equipping my students with the necessary information and skills to help them excel in situations outside of the classroom. This year I hope to build and add to the foundation of basic skills students need for secondary and higher education and the
real world. My Social Studies Curriculum will focus on communication skills such as writing and speaking; research skills such as collecting, organizing, and interpreting data; decisions making skills such as considering alternatives and consequences; interpersonal skills such as seeing others' points of view, accepting responsibility, and dealing with conflict; and reading skills such as reading pictures, books, maps, charts, and graphs. My goal is that by the end of the year all of my students will be capable of thinking critically about complex societal problems and global problems.

Seventh Grade & MS English Language Arts Teacher I spent my own middle school years filling up the pages of blank journals and reading books like The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle. The hours of my youth spent reading and writing served as an excellent platform to be your new middle school English language arts teacher for the 2011-2012 school year. I came to Seoul in May 2010 after earning my teacher certification at Western Michigan University in English and communication for grades 6-12. Prior to that, I received my bachelor’s degree in English and journalism
from Siena Heights University in 2002. I’ve spent the years since graduation substitute teaching in a diverse range of U.S. school systems and writing and editing for various newspapers and magazines. When I’m not in the classroom or preparing lessons, I like to take photographs of the unique character of Seoul, cook spicy dishes and bake cookies, and practice yoga. At RIS I intend to fearlessly guide our students as they continue to become proficient communicators. I anticipate a successful year with this bright batch of students. Cheers! Ms. Jones

Interesting Mercury Facts Mercury is one of the few metals that is liquid at ordinary temperatures. It is a shiny, mobile liquid, silver-white in color. Mercury has many properties that make it useful as a mercury thermometer. For example, mercury expands and contracts evenly when heated or cooled. It also remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures. These properties make mercury an ideal component of thermometers, barometers, and other scientific instruments.

Fall Back into School: A Brief Look at Education Calendars Worlds Away The waning days of summer mark the beginning of a new school year at RIS. This is an exhilarating time for faculty and staff, and while we warmly welcome back returning students and excitedly greet those joining us for the first time, students in some nations throughout the world are more than halfway through their academic year! It’s the beginning of our school year, but it isn’t the start for students the world over. Let us take a moment’s reprieve from the pencil-sharpening, the note-taking and the book-reading to glance at some of the practices of education systems across the globe:
Facts are attributed to www.infoplease.com
In Central America in the country of Costa Rica, students begin school in February and end in December. They enjoy a two-month vacation in between, and a few weeks off in July.
In the African nation of Kenya, the school year is divided into three 13week terms. Students enjoy a one-month vacation during each break of the trimester.
Students in Russia remain together in the same class from grades one to ten. Tenth grade is the last year of mandatory education, after which students may elect to carry on in the eleventh and twelfth grades to learn vocational skills or study for university entrance exams.
French students have a half-day of Saturday school, but they are free from study on Wednesdays and Sundays. Public school students have a two-hour break for lunch each day.
Summer vacation for Australian students lasts from mid-December to late January. Since Australia is in the southern hemisphere, it experiences summer while the northern hemisphere is in the throes of winter.
So when RIS breaks for winter vacation this year, many other schools will be ending their academic year and preparing to advance to the next grade! Luckily for us, we’ll have another five months after that to thrive in our learning community.
Avocados have the highest calories of any fruit at 167 calories per hundred grams. 84% of a raw apple and 96% of a raw cucumber is water. Asparagus is a member of the lily family, which also includes onions, leeks, and garlic. Rice paper isn’t made from rice but from a small tree which grows in Taiwan.

Grade 1-3 ESL Teacher Hello! My name is Ms. Ross. I grew up in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, on beautiful island called Cape Breton. I graduated from Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree Major in English. I moved to Seoul, South Korea four and a half years ago as an ESL instructor. My passion for teaching has only increased with each new experience here, and like the bright and talented students I teach, my mind has been a sponge absorbing every bit of information and instruction I have received. As an educator, my goal is to make a difference in the lives of my students by investing both my heart and mind in
teaching. I strive to be compassionate and realize that my students’ success is not limited to the tangibles of academic achievement. I try to adapt my method of teaching to meet the diverse needs of my students. I am thrilled to be a part of the Rainbow International teaching team! Our ESL program aims to provide our students with the skills necessary to be confident English learners, able to communicate with their peers and teachers, participate in classroom activities and achieve learning outcomes. Ultimately, our goal is to develop the capabilities, language learning strategies and cognitive skills required for success in the mainstream RIS classroom.
If it is not right, do not do it! If it is not true, do not say it!
Grade 1-3 ESL Teacher My name is Bokhwa Lee, and I am delighted to be working with your child in our ESL 1-3 classroom!

We have high expectations for our students, and we will do all that we can to help our child develop their English language skills
in the areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Throughout the year we will work closely with both our students and their classroom teachers so that they can have a successful year at Rainbow International School.

Grade 4-8 ESL Teacher Meagan Davis is the 4-8 ESL teacher at Rainbow International School. She has a BA in English & Creative Writing and an MA in English from the University of South Alabama (USA). After graduation she was a full-time instructor at USA, where she taught English Composition and Rhetoric, guest-lectured courses in poetry, gender studies, and persuasive writing, and served as the Assistant Coordinator for the university’s Writing Outreach program. Before coming to RIS, Ms. Davis taught 7th grade Social Studies and Language Arts at La Escuela Internacional Sampedrana in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, where she also served as their middle school newspaper and national spelling bee advisor.
Ms. Davis strives to build a love for the written word into all of her curriculum and wants to encourage her students to not only be competent in the many languages they master but also to be inspired by them. This year the ESL goals will be to further the students’ grasp of English grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension in listening, speaking, reading, and writing through a sheltered instruction program tailored specifically to each student’s needs. Creative writing will become a part of the daily ESL life, and programs like the 4-8 Classroom Reading Initiative will stress reading outside of school to foster the students’ own sense of wonder and interest in literature.

MS Science Grade 7-8 Teacher Intolerance cannot be tolerated!
Hello Everyone , My name is Mrs Rashmi Gupta . I am from India. I earned my Bachelors Degree from Delhi University in 1984 .I also earned teaching certificate form Delhi University in 1985. I came to South Korea in 1997 along with my husband who works as IT CHIEF at IVI, SEOUL. I went back to college in 2002 to earn MASTER DEGREE in Curriculum and Instruction from Michigan State University, MI, USA. My teaching career began in India in 1985 when I started teaching grade 4 and 5 science. Within one year I was given the responsibility of teaching Middle school in the same school along with organizing school’s annual function. Year 1990 was a special year of my life when I got married and moved to Delhi. After taking a year off, I began teaching again. During these years I moved from primary school to high school teaching physics and chemistry with an additional responsibility of setting science laboratories in newly set up school. I have always enjoyed teaching science as much as my students loved learning science. I moved to South Korea in 1997 when I again took a break from my teaching job to bring up my second daughter. Teacher in me could not be satisfied by sitting at home and I started with subbing at SAIS, Yangjae, in year 2000. Within a year at SAIS, I was given MS ESL classes. I also taught Science to Middle School for almost a year at the same school. I joined Seoul foreign School and Seoul International School, Seoul in year 2002 as substitute teacher for Middle and elementary school. I also worked as substitute for international kindergarten (ECLC), hannamdong. I was hired to co-teach grade 4 at SFS , Seoul
for one year and then again I was hired to teach HS General Chemistry/ Environmental Science . Year 2010 I was hired by RIS to teach middle school science. I am currently working at RIS. My plans for this year are not sticking to academics only but also develop creative skills and interest. I believe that if I can develop a love for learning, then I have created lifelong learners. My content teaching will be supplemented by acquiring various necessary to function in today’s society. These skills will unfold themselves throughout the year .I am using – INTEGRATED SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY by HOLT as text books. I also plan to begin science news club as part of making my students aware of happening in the world .As parents you can be a part of your child’s education by visiting recently implemented software –EDU20. Also as a part of technology upgrading the school has launched E-books which will help students and teachers greatly. The SIS system will keep parents updated on grades earned by their kids at any point. I believe teacher not only has the responsibility of imparting knowledge to the students, but also has a hand in developing and molding their attitude and personality but this task can’t be achieved by me alone. We teachers at school and parents at home can collaborate to achieve this target for which we need to communicate. I can be reached at rashmi2763@gmail.com .I will try my best to respond ASAP. I look forward to your continued support and understanding.

Hopefully we will enjoy altogether with my students and parents.RIS is really a big opportunity for all of us because we have a very useful supportive facilities. I need to say that in today’s world, we can teach our children only if we can take their attention and concentration to the class regardless of the changing world conditions. If we want to be a successful individual in this global world, then, we have to keep up with the technological innovations especially in education. So in that point it is a fact that RIS has an adequate system and I believe if we follow the rules and procedures related with our curriculum and lessons, we will feel the difference in our children`s cognitive and mental development. At that point we have an important mission
altogether for our children’s future life and future education. For an efficient learning we need active and motivated learners .So at school we try to motivate and give an essential knowledge about science but it is a fact that science is enjoyable but challenging for many students. RIS has an adequate academic level for the students because we are following the national standards, well prepared online book …all of these resources will give us an effective science teaching only if we can take in to account some procedures and rules both at home and school. During this year of course I will have some expectations related with our lessons, homework, projects...And so on…You will be informed about these issues daily. One of the most important aspects of RIS is the system ,we use SIS , LMS … systems…with the help of these network system we will communicate and discuss easily for all things related with your child`s education and progress.
