Happy Thursday Robloxs parents/guardians,
I am excited to introduce myself as your child’s new Grade 2 teacher. My name is Ms. Cami, and this week has been a very special one for me, not only because it’s the beginning of a new school year for our Roblox class, but also because it’s my very first time teaching in the Middle East.
I was born in Mauritius and have spent the last few years teaching in Cameroon and parts of Europe. Teaching has taken me on a wonderful journey across different cultures and classrooms, and each step has taught me that children’s curiosity, joy, and kindness are the same everywhere. I feel very lucky to now be a part of this vibrant school community in Oman.
Our first week together has been all about settling in, getting to know each other, and creating a positive and caring classroom environment. The students have been busy making essential agreements, diving a little into our first Unit of Inquiry (Who We Are), and taking part in team-building activities that helped us build friendships and learn how to work together. We also kicked off some of our routines in reading, writing, and maths.
You can expect to see weekly updates here on Broadcaster to share what we’ve been doing in class, along with photos of our learning journey. Please know that I celebrate your child’s successes, big and small, and I’ll be in touch directly if there’s ever anything important to share.
Who We Are will be the first Transdisciplinary Theme the students will investigate. I have attached the UOI Flyer, and I encourage you to take some time to look at it. This unit’s presentation will be a Shoebox Autobiography, where each child will use a shoebox to share about their family, hobbies, traditions, and the things that make them unique. We will be “walking in their lives” as they introduce themselves in this creative way. I will share the directions on SeeSaw. Please ensure that your child brings a box or shoebox to school next week so we can begin this exciting project together.
Home Learning: Reading Journals will be given to each student on Sunday. Please send them back completed each Thursday.
Communication: Please message me through SeeSaw Messages. This is the quickest form of communication, and I will always do my best to respond promptly.

It has been heart-warming to meet some of you parents already, thank you for so kindly introducing yourselves and making me feel so welcome.
Warm regards,
Ms. Cami
