Let's reflect on the field trips and engagement events we've had so far:
We have had a great start to our field trips for the school year! We have adventured off to a variety of places including the LA County Fair, a musical theatre class taught by San Diego Creative Arts Project, Fresno Chaffee Zoo, Birch Aquarium, Orange County Zoo, Mission: Renaissance Fine Art Class, Cal-Earth, Mission San Juan Capistrano, Big Fresno Fair, Magic Mountain Homeschool Day, Time Travelers Day, San Diego Zoo, Claremont Chef’s Academy, iFly Ontario, Riley’s Farm, Logan’s Candies, Apple Store Robotics class, Ocean Quest Private Boat Excursion with Discovery Cube and How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Just a few of the memories made by scholars were preparing and enjoying their very own cinnamon rolls at Claremont Chef’s Academy along with seeing history come to life at Time Travelers Day as well as during their time at Riley’s Farm! Additionally, scholars loved getting to see science come to life at iFly and exploring sea life during our private boat excursion with Discovery Cube!
Our virtual scholar workshops have been enjoyed by our scholars during the past few months. We all enjoyed our scholar club kick-off, participating in the Be Strong Live Tour simulcast as well as our Spirit Week Chill N Chat!
Our scholar club kick-off was a huge success! We launched 20 scholar clubs ranging from Cooking Club to LEGO Club to Dance Club and so many more! Scholars are currently starting their club meetings, electing club officers and building relationships with fellow club members!
SCHOLAR STORIES
Families that attended our Riley’s Farm tour shared that their scholars enjoyed the rations and battlefield portions. Additionally, learning coaches shared that they enjoyed being there with our school community, the experiential learning, the speech which concluded the field trip along with all the great pictures that were captured!
Families that attended our iFly field trip shared their scholars enjoyed the parachute making lesson along with getting to see the real-life connections between physics and flying! Learning coaches shared how priceless it was seeing the huge smiles on their scholar's faces!
Families that attended our Claremont Chef’s Academy field trip shared that their scholars loved being able to taste what they made and being proud of their work! For learning coaches, they enjoyed being able to watch the class and see the children excited to bake and learn with the Chef’s!
CONTESTS
During the end of October, we had our 2018 Spirit Week along with Red Ribbon Week. The theme of the week was “Life is Your Journey - Travel Drug-Free”! Our dress up days included Life is a Journey, Travel Drug Free (Dress as a Tourist), Leigh Off Drugs (Dress in Hawaiian Wear), Don’t Let Drugs Stop Your Journey (Dress in Red), Give Drugs the Boot (Dress in Western Wear) and We’re Going Places (Dress in Orange, Blue or CCS Spirit Gear)! Scholars were encouraged to share their photos with us as they participated in our dress up days! It was such a joy to see our scholars focusing on living drug-free and having school spirit!
We are currently wrapping up our gratitude contest - scholars are in the process of writing letters and making phone calls to people who have impacted their lives. As their letters are finished or phone calls are being made, scholars share their photos with us for a chance to win a CCS sweatshirt!
UPCOMING EVENTS
We are looking forward to the many field trips we have in the months ahead including (but not limited to): Warner Bros Studio Tour, Young Chef’s Academy in Fresno, Drum Barracks Tour, The Getty Villa, Medieval Times and more!
