- December 5–8: ACAMIS Senior Swim Meet (13–19 yrs) at WCS-Shanghai – Best of luck to our talented swimmers!
- December 9: UAL Talk at UISZ & UISG – An inspiring session for students interested in the arts and creative pathways.
- December 10: Mr. Kim’s 1-on-1 consultations with Korean G12 students begin – Supporting our seniors as they prepare for their next steps.
- December 11–12: K Learning Celebration (December 11, 10:30 am–12:00 pm) and K2 Learning Celebration (December 12, 2:00–3:20 pm)
And a special highlightfor the weekend! Please mark your calendars for our Annual International Festival of Light (IFOL), taking place on Sunday, December 14th at 11:00 am at UISG. This is a wonderful community event featuring food, games, music, and fantastic student performances from both UISG and UISZ. It’s a beautiful way to come together and celebrate the spirit of our diverse community as the year draws to a close. Everyone is invited!

01 Early Years ▼
K2’s Deep-Sea Discovery!
Our K2 explorers dove deep into their ‘Sharing the Planet’ unit of inquiry with a breathtaking underwater adventure at Aquatic World! The trip brought their classroom learning to life, focusing on how creatures coexist in fragile underwater ecosystems.
Guided by their inquiry into responsibility and interconnectedness, the children observed the quiet glow of moonlit jellyfish and the cheerful parade of waddling penguins, noting the unique role each animal plays. They discussed the importance of shimmering schools of fish, met gentle, lumbering turtles, and laughed along with playful, twirling seals—seeing firsthand how different lives share one ocean.
A true test of bravery came in the ocean tunnel, where they walked under the watchful glide of majestic sharks! The adventure crested with cheers for a magical mermaid performance, a dance of light and grace.
Filled with awe, laughter, and unforgettable memories, our little marine biologists surfaced with their imaginations truly set adrift. What a wave of a day!
Language of Innovation:
Coding and Creative Design in Our
Imaginarium
Within our vibrant Imaginarium, young learners are constantly discovering new ways to express ideas and solve problems. This term, as part of our inquiry into different forms of language, our students are mastering a powerful 21st-century dialect: the language of code.
In carefully guided small-group sessions, children are becoming confident coders. Using tactile coding cards, they translate symbols into precise instructions for our newest robotics friend, the Tail Bot Pro. The challenge? To logically plot a course from point A to B. The reward? Programming their robot to complete its journey with a celebratory dance. A moment of pure joy that reinforces the cause-and-effect power of their new skills.
This dedicated exploration of technological language happens alongside our core creative program. While one group collaborates on coding sequences, their peers in the mini-Imaginarium are deep in the design process, constructing original creations and practicing the vital arts of collaboration and shared explanation.
This integrated experience is a cornerstone of our weekly planning, designed to systematically build computational thinking and creative confidence. From the logic of a sequence to the narrative of a shared build, we are equipping our learners with the tools to analyze, create, and innovate.

Poetry in Motion:
A Poet’s Visit to Grade Three
The grade three students were treated to a guest poet visit this week from teacher/poet Mr. Steele. Normally in the high school, Mr. Steele has published two books of poetry and shared some of his writing experiences and influences with the grade three students. He spoke to them about writing poetry that is engaging and relates to their environment and senses and performed a few of his poems live to show the students his love of wordplay with a specific focus on rhythm, rhyme, and meter. The class were engaged and had lots of questions about writing, language, and publishing.
03 Secondary ▼
Through Grade 8 Eyes:
Exploring “Humans and Nature” in Art
Within our IB learning community, Grade 8 students recently transformed the Secondary atrium into a thoughtful art exhibition titled “Humans and Nature.” Guided by the inquiry question “How can art depict the complex relationship between humans and nature?”, the exhibition featured paintings, collages, and mixed-media works that explored themes of ecological connection, dependence, and reflection.
During lunch breaks, the space came alive with dialogue: students paused before artworks, teachers asked about creative choices, and even the principal engaged with young artists about the stories behind their pieces. Each work served not only as visual expression but also as a catalyst for conversation and critical thinking—embodying the IB emphasis on interaction, inquiry, and interdisciplinary connections. Here, art became more than representation; it emerged as a way of understanding our world.
Rising with Purpose:
How Our G11 Students Are Reshaping Philanthropy
Introducing the new generation behind UtahFresh: our Grade 11 IB students. Taking over a student-led initiative founded in 2018, they now manage weekly bread sales that support the cognitively challenged while promoting inclusion across our school.
But their impact goes further. Through thoughtful leadership, they’ve turned monthly profits into a donation for “Hopeful Heart,” funding vital heart surgeries for children in need. In uniting local service with global compassion, our G11 students aren’t just selling bread—they’re building a kinder world, one loaf at a time.

K2的深海发现之旅
K2的小小探索家们在“共享地球”探究单元中，潜入 Aquatic World 展开了一场令人屏息的水下冒险！这次旅程将课堂学习带进现实，孩子们聚焦于脆弱的水下生态系统中生物共存的奥秘。
带着对责任与万物互联的思考，孩子们观察月光般静谧发光的水母，注视憨态可掬的企鹅巡游，领悟每个物种独一无二的生命角色。他们讨论鱼群闪烁粼光的生态意义，邂逅温柔笨拙的海龟，与旋转共舞的海豹欢笑共鸣——亲眼见证了万千生命如何共享同一片海洋。
穿越海洋隧道成为勇气的试炼场，孩子们穿梭在鲨鱼庄严游弋的注目礼下！当梦幻的美人鱼表演翩然起舞，光影与优雅交织的时刻，欢呼声将这场探险推向高潮。
带着满心的惊叹、欢笑与永不褪色的回忆，我们的小小海洋生物学家浮出水面，想象力的潮水已然漫溢。这真是浪潮般席卷而来的美好一天！
创新语言：
创想工坊中的编程与设计之旅
在我们充满活力的创想工坊里，小学习者们不断探索着表达想法与解决问题的新方式。本学期，作为对“不同语言形式”探究的一部分，我们的学生正在掌握一门强大的21世纪语言：编程代码。
在精心引导的小组活动中，孩子们正成长为自信的小程序员。他们运用实体编程卡片，将符号转化为精确的指令，指挥我们最新的机器人朋友——Tail Bot Pro。挑战何在？是逻辑清晰地规划从A点到B点的路径。奖励是什么？是成功编程让机器人完成任务后，跳起一段庆祝的舞蹈。那一刻纯粹的喜悦，让他们亲身体验到新技能所带来的因果关系之力。
这种对技术语言的专注探索，与我们的核心创意课程同步展开。当一组孩子协作设计编程序列时，迷你创想工坊里的同伴们正沉浸在设计过程中：搭建原创作品，并锻炼着至关重要的协作能力与共同解说艺术。
这种融合式体验是我们每周课程规划的基石，旨在系统性地培养计算思维与创新自信。从程序的逻辑序列到共同搭建的叙事表达，我们正为学习者装备好分析、创造与创新的工具。

诗心相遇：诗人走进三年级课堂
本周，三年级学生迎来了一位特别的诗人访客——身兼教师与诗人双重身份的Mr. Steele。平日任教于高中部的斯蒂尔先生已出版两本诗集，此次他与三年级学生们分享了自己的写作经历与创作灵感。他引导学生创作与自身环境和感官相联结、能打动人心的诗歌，并现场朗诵了自己的部分诗作。通过专注展现诗歌的节奏、韵律与格律，他让学生切身感受到文字游戏的魅力。课堂上同学们全神贯注，并对写作、语言与出版提出了许多问题。

八年级视角：以艺术探索“人与自然”
在IB学习者社区的浸润下，我校八年级学生近期于中学部中庭呈现了一场以“人类与自然”为主题的小型艺术展。展览围绕核心问题“艺术如何描绘人类与自然之间的复杂关系？”展开探索，通过绘画、拼贴与综合媒介作品，呈现年轻创作者对生态联结、依存与反思的多样思考。
午间时分，展览空间化为动态的交流现场：驻足凝视的同龄人、细细询问细节的教师，甚至校长也饶有兴致地与小小艺术家们对话，探讨笔触背后的思考。每一幅作品不仅传递着视觉语言，更成为引发对话、促发反思的桥梁——这正呼应了IB教育中重视互动、探究与跨学科联结的精神。艺术在这里不止于表达，更成为理解世界的一种方式。
传承爱心，焙暖世界：
G11学子让公益薪火相传
现在，让我们认识UtahFresh新一代的掌舵人——十一年级IB学子。他们接过了这份始于2018年的学生自主倡议，如今每周通过面包义卖持续支持认知障碍群体，并推动校园包容文化建设。
但他们的行动远不止于此。凭借细致的运营规划，学生们将每月盈余转化为对“希望之心”项目的捐赠，为困境儿童提供关键的心脏手术资金。当在地服务与全球关怀相遇，我们的十一年级学生做的已不仅是售卖面包——他们正以每一份温暖，构筑一个更加良善的世界。
