Austin International School's International Week

 November 16 through 20, 2009

International Week at AIS is a fun and educational exploration of the world's cultures through hands-on instruction in their various foods, languages, costumes, art, geography, and more. In step with the U.S. Department of Education's International Education Week, AIS students spend several weeks delving deeply into a country and its people. Classes share what they've learned and created by visiting other classes and hosting students from various grade levels. Reports, dances, songs, culinary activities, classroom decorations, and special projects - such as haiku, origami, mehndi, batik, wildlife visits, and museum visits - fill this special time. At the end of the week, parents and friends join the teachers and students for an international potluck dinner and social.
