The Curious kinders were very inspired by a book we read. They came in on Monday spreading so much kindness! Ava brought in a toy she had for Reuben because she knew he liked it; Alma brought in books to donate to our library; Hank drew pictures for all his friends! Wow! My heart is full on this Monday morning by how we are all living the Learner Profile!💗 #campusinternational #ibpyp

This week we focused on authority figures in our community. We talked about authority figures in our classroom, school and neighborhood community. 

4th graders, Emma and Alta, came to teach us about the Action Cycle and how it connects to all the kindness we are spreading!
Choose: What can I do?
Act: How can I do it?
​Reflect: What was the result?

In Mandarin we are now learning to count.

We continued to work a lot with ten frames and shapes this week.

Pick one pattern block. Use the block to trace and create a picture using the shape.

The Fathers Walk was a great event. So many males showed up to support our students.

We celebrated the opening of our much anticipated, beautiful, new building with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. Many community members attended this event.

We have been learning about nouns for the past couple weeks. Now we are connecting nouns to labeling and captions.
