Our Lango Friends!
Cosmo
Cosmo
is a kind and sensitive puppy who was born in small cabin in the woods
close to the ocean. He is quite shy and a bit nervous but is always
willing to try something new (with a little coaxing of course). Once he
feels comfortable he will open up and sing, and laugh and play.
Wen
Wen (5) was
born in China and comes to the international school every day. He is
an explorer and not afraid of anything, (a fact that often finds him
getting into a bit of trouble). He is quiet but great at solving
problems and the kids often come to him when they can’t figure something
out. He sometimes disappears to go exploring and the rest of the kids
have to go looking for him. Kids learn through him that it’s important
to be inquisitive, but equally important to be part of a group.
Ms. L
Ms. L (30) is
the teacher at the international school and lives there with cosmo.
She has been all over the world and has stories, instruments, songs,
maps, clothes, and food from everywhere. She is very patient and
teaches through stories and letting the kids explore. She loves to
garden and when she’s not teaching she loves adventure sports.
Luc
Luc (6) was
born in France and comes to the international school every day. Luc
is the class clown and is always making jokes and being physically very
funny. He is an amazing artist and sometimes when Ms. L is telling a
story he will draw the scene on the board (the other kids love when he
does this). Luc also loves animals and knows everything about every
different kind of animal (and if he doesn’t know it he pretends he
does). Kids learn through him the importance of being honest and that’s
it’s okay to not know and to ask for help. Cosmo is his best buddy.
Lucia
Lucia (7)
was born in Argentina and is the big sister of the group. She is a
leader and looks up to Ms. L a lot. She takes care of the chores around
the school (i.e. Watering the plants, feeding the fish, changing the
date on the calendar) and helps the smaller kids to learn these things.
She loves to read and is smart, organized and confident. She is also
very agreeable in the classroom, but when you get her into a game she
becomes super active and competitive. Kids learn from her about routine
and commitment, but also about how competition can get in the way of
fun and discovery.
