Discover Oman

All packed up and ready to hike!
Calvin left this morning for Discover Oman -- during the month of February the different classes at TAISM take trips around the city/region/country (depending on the grade level). All the middle schoolers are traveling this week on 6 or so different trips. Calvin was assigned to the Coastal trip. They'll be camping, hiking, snorkeling and studying the beaches of Oman. He'll be home in 4 days, hopefully with lots of pictures, stories, and without a major sunburn. 

The following week, the elementary school students will travel around Muscat on day trips. Each grade visits different locations each day. Josh and I and other parent volunteers get to go and chaperone. Josh is going on a bird watching trip with Caleb's class and a cave hike with Carter's class. I'm going on a trip to some wetlands with Carter and doing an Omani culture day with Caleb. It's going to be a great time of learning for all of us.

I want to go to school there. What a perfect way to get the most out of your time in Oman.

I can't imagine a better way to spend school time. Calvin looks like the experienced camper he is--ready to Discover Oman. Your kids are having the adventure of a lifetime!
