Happy Tuesday friends!

We are back to an exciting day, though the rain decided to drop, but that won’t stop CLI from doing what we do best!
Great way to start we are back to acting and learning all theatre. We all join in with Mr. Konrad teaching us how to act or do a play everyone enjoyed it very much with so much laughter 🤭 and smiles 😀 making up their own scenes and acting it out. Thank you Mr. Konrad for your time and patience with us! Who knows we will have our drama and theatre club.

With our spare time our NMC Intern Carmina Borja did a presentation on Time management. We learn the importance of time management keeping our daily task on track to be very productive. Thank you Carmina!

Whats on our plate today?!
Well for the month of April chef had decided to bring us to Ireland 🇮🇪 to taste the flavorful dishes of Ireland. We had baked sausage with potatoes 🥔 and carrots 🥕 Thanks chefs for the delicious lunch.

Welcome back everyone, I hope you’re doing well! Today is Wednesday

We started off our sunny day here at CLI with Mr. Chris taking attendance and learning and sharing what we did over the weekend📆.
Later, Mr. Konrad joined us again with fun and new theatre activities 🎭like mirroring a partner, taking turns sharing one of our hobbies, acting, and pretending to buy a car. Everyone was laughing and having so much fun. Thank you Mr. Konrad for visiting us again! After that wonderful theater and acting we did, we still have a lot time to spare and we hopped right into our ILS training🧹🪣. Everyone was busy doing their part team leaders were leading their groups. It was a productive day!

Little did we know it was lunch time! Chef Ignacio and his kitchen crew cooked up a flavorful roasted sausage with yummy potatoes🥔 . The food was so good everyone cleared their plates within minutes and wanted more.

Holy Thursday!

With easter just around the corner, the CLI family has begun celebrating—sharing memories, happiness, and laughter as the joy of Easter unfolds. As we spent time outdoors enjoying our Pool Day, the sunny weather perfectly matched this beautiful day here in the CNMI.

While we were enjoying our time together, we also had fun activities such as outdoor games. It was truly a day full of fun!
