Working on my drawing skills in Procreate. This mandala makes use of layers, brushes and radial symmetry through the assisted drawing tools. #acslearns #acsabudhabi

We had fun over the past week doing Starbooks themed book tastings! Sampling different genres and building our 'To Be Read' lists - time well spent. #ACSAbuDhabi #ACSLearns @EspiOnFire @mstoddsclassacs @TheMiddleCourse

The Middle School Orientation has been a positive way to get ALL of us back into the routines of school, have some fun and connect as a community again. #IamACS #ACSAbuDhabi

This week our amazing @acsabudhabi Service Learning Coordinator @MelPubil held a virtual Service Learning Celebration to recognize the service achievements of our students. Wow - even during this very unusual year, our students managed to engage in meaningful service #ACSAbuDhabi

Our teachers had fun with this bookish challenge - reading with a family member. #acsabudhabi

We started a new tradition this week, the ACS Bookish Challenge! It has been SO much fun seeing all of the student and teacher submissions. We really are a fun community of readers! #acsabudhabi

For our PL day we were given 20% Time to pursue our own learning. I chose to listen to @theyarnpodcast; build my TBR list and reflect on some books from 2019 that I loved. Thank you @jenricks & @CHordenchuk for a well planned "soft-landing" back to school #ACSAbuDhabi #ACSlearns

Last week we had a #BookTasting with the grade 7s. Lots of enthusiasm and chatter about the books they want to read. 💚📚 #ACSAbuDhabiReads #ACSAbuDhabi @laurafishman06

Our #ACSAbuDhabi Animal Action #ViperVenture 2019 was a success & a lot of fun! We had a comment today about how engaged and collaborative our students are 💚💚

💚 I had so much fun putting Books in the Bathroom together and seeing many of the books getting into the hands of readers (students and staff). #ACSAbuDhabi #WeNeedDiverseBooks #ACSAbuDhabiReads #LibraryFun #TLchat
