WELCOME TO ELEMENTARY SERVICE LEARNING |
"It's the little things we do that make the world a better place."
Service Learning is a valued tradition at AISB. Service learning makes curricular connections and helps children identify genuine service needs in their community and the world. Service Learning is an important part of students’ lives at the Elementary School. By connecting Service Learning programs to the curriculum, students identify and investigate genuine service needs in their local and world communities. They actively prepare projects and take action to help others. At the end of the process, they reflect on their project and share or demonstrate what they have learned to others.
The Five Stages of Service Learning:
1. Investigation
2. Preparation and Planning
3. Action
4. Reflection
5. Demonstration
By taking part in Community Service projects, students learn about their immediate and local communities as well as broaden their views on communities of the world. They learn to share with other children at or outside of school. Community Service programs may or may not be linked to the curriculum, academics and reflection.
The AISB ES Service Learning program is in line with The American International School's Mission Statement.
Service Learning and Community Service programs are specifically designed to help students develop, grow and learn to be responsible global citizens who care and respect each other, the local communities and act responsibly towards each other, their immediate and larger communities as well as the environment.
Through Service Learning Programs and projects, Elementary students further deepen their knowledge, they learn how to act responsibly and take action. They also reflect upon their commitment, the projects they worked on and finally, they share with their peers, teachers and family what they learned throughout the Service Learning project.
This year, we will continue the great traditions we already have established in the Service Learning Program. Students are challenged and willingly participate in age-appropriate projects which many times go over grade levels and the school's boundaries. Through the Service Learning projects, students are exposed to different aspects of the curriculum projects and are encouraged to deepen their knowledge of a certain area of study.
The Service Learning program in the Elementary School also includes divisional activities, various student groups, they reach over grade levels and in case of Walk the Wish, the Annual Charity Collection, the February Food Frenzy or AISB-organized support for schools and children's organizations in disaster-hit areas all allow AISB students to take action and serve together for a common cause.
We are looking forward to a challenging new year in Service Learning, hoping to take little steps together that make a big difference.
