Getting into the Routine...

We are Bucket Fillers each and Every Day!

It is absolutely remarkable how quickly our Explorers have figured out the routines here at Campus International.  It was very evident at our CIS Morning Meeting, which is held first thing Monday mornings.  Everyone joined right in as though they had been attending for years. What Risk-Takers and Thinkers (2 attributes of the Learner Profile)

This week we enjoyed lots of fabulous books, continued working on our names, journaling and explored various ways to create numbers.  

Pete the Cat is becoming a fast new favorite as we enjoy his various books! 

We cannot forget that we also learned our THRID language of speaking Giraffe.  We use the giraffe as a symbol to remind us to use our "I Messages" when we need to express ourselves.  Ask your Explorer if they remember why we picked the giraffe to help us remember this.

1. The long neck reminds us to stick our neck out for our friends.

2. Giraffes have the largest heart.

An example of using giraffe is, "I feel upset when you get in front of me in line. Would you please go to the end?"  Getting our students to express themselves in this way takes practice and patience, but they are already using without much teacher prompting.  Such Communicators (another attribute of the Learner Profile)!

We were entertained throughly with the Blue Angels.  CIS is lucky to have a fantastic view of their practice flights.  We had lots of wonders about how they did those amazing tricks! 

We journal in so many ways.  Here a student completed the Calendar Journal for the class.

 We are learning to use our school's technology!

THANK YOU for sending in their special bags!  It has been so much fun for us all to get to know each other better.  The excitement when someone else plays the same sport, likes the same book, food, etc is precious!
