he late David Pollock, an expert in this area, provided a good definition of third culture kids: A Third Cultured (TCK) is a person who has spent a significant part of his or her developmental years outside of the parent
ulture. The TCK frequently builds relationships to all of the cultures, while not having full ownership in anylthough elements from each culture may be assimilated into the TCKs life experience, the sense of belongingin relationship to others of similar background. Lisa McKay highlights that some strengths and benefits tha
ur third culture kids develop over time include great flexibility and adaptability, a more mature perspective anddvanced cross-cultural communication and social skills. Three areas that are sometimes challenges for our thirulture children include unresolved feelings of grief and loss, sometimes feeling insecure on the inside andeople perceiving them as being arrogant because of their different life experiences.

t BIFS, we take this awareness of our students needs and endeavor to support them in a variety of ways. Firsnd foremost, we look to really get to know each student. Each students identity is important and they need tnow we care about them and are interested in who they are, where they have come from, what their passionre and what they aspire to become. Additionally, early in the transition, we give our students extra time andttention to settle in. It takes everyone a while to learn about a new place. We also try to make information
ccessible and explicit so students can learn about rules, routines, activities and their surroundings. Makingiends is a big deal in school, so we try to provide opportunities to facilitate these social connections. A goodxample of this is our upcoming team building camps in the Middle School and High School. Finally, within ouurriculum we take the time to discuss the concepts of identity, differences, home and internationa
mindedness to help all of our students explore and reflect on what these words mean for them.
Continued on the next page)
reat beginnings are a result of thoughtful planning and careful attentiono the building of relationships at the start of the year. Each year, ourchool community re-forms as a new community. Part of buildingelationships is seeking to understand each other and while we all have
many differences that make each of us special and unique, we also haveome wonderful similarities. One of the similarities that most of ourudents and families share is being a transnational family. In international
chools, we often refer to the children of transnational families as Thirdulture Kids or TCKs. Recently, Lisa McKay wrote an outstanding blogost on this topic that I would like to share as it beautifully summarizeshat we do at BIFS as we strive to be United in Our Diversity.

eachers have been working hard to get to know their students, teach routines and expectations, and staruilding a classroom community. As they do so, they begin to assess childrens readiness levels, particularly i
math, reading, and writing. Data regarding students who are returning to BIFS was passed on from last yeareacher to this years. We also begin to collect data on our new students, as well as check returning students foew progress. In reading, we assess using Running Records from Teachers College in New York. For writing, wssess using the 6+1 Traits writing samples which are scored on a rubric. Word work and basic spelling issessed using Words Their Way. In math, teachers focus their assessments on the concepts and skills that arovered in the first unit. All of this data is used to help differentiate the program to meet each childs learnineeds. And all of this is done while forming a strong classroom community, teaching students positive habits o
mind and developing their organizational skills. Its a vibrant time here in the Elementary!
