Special Thanks to Teacher Upashnia

Special Thanks to Teacher Upashnia

I want to acknowledge a very special thanks to Teacher Upashnia. Her dedication to her students is unmatched and this week she has gone the extra mile to not only teach six classes a day to  her students but host two writer events ( An afternoon with Mr. OZ  &  Nantawan International School Writer’s Workshop Exhibit).

You are an inspiration to me as a teacher and a role model to your students. Your efforts are appreciated by all of us and we are so thankful for you and all you do. You are truly a great example of the kind of teacher every school wants and we are so happy you are in the NIS family.

Nantawan International School Writer’s Workshop Exhibit

Nantawan International School Writer’s Workshop Exhibit

The Writer’s Workshop held their exhibit at Siam Paragon on Saturday December 8, 2012. Hosted by Asia Books Thailand; the students read the stories they have written in the workshop as well as performed songs & poems.

Teacher Upashnia was the MC and helped her students tell their stories and explain the student’s creative interests that motivate them to explore writing.  The students were able to experience the joy of others listening to their own stories and the artful way they use English to create and captivate everyone’s imagination.

NIS is first in Thailand with the Brianwave English Series

NIS is the first school in Thailand to purchase the Macmillan Brianwave series of interactive books. Brainwave is a unique blended learning solution, that offers an impressive range of multimedia components that turn  classrooms into digital learning environments.

NIS is using the Brainwave series in all our Grade 1-6 classrooms. The students, parents and teachers are all extremely excited by the new materials and the opportunity for the students to expand their learning, critical thinking and  creativity.
