• 2024.05.08Today’s Class 1

  

  Today in Class 1 we wanted to go outside! It was a little cold, but we put on our jackets and took a walk. The park was beautiful and we saw big trees and new flowers growing. We had a great time walking around with our friends. After our walk, we all sat down and read a book together. We heard about a very hungry caterpillar and what he ate each day. Everyone did a great job today. We’re excited about tomorrow!

• 2024.05.07Today’s Senior

  

  今日の年長組は、園庭でジャガイモの種芋植えを行いました。まずは、クラスで「何種類のじゃがいもがあるのか」などのクイズを行いました。じゃがいもが５０００種類もあることを知ると、「じゃがいもって１つだと思っていた！」と驚いた表情のお子さま達でした。実際に写真で何種類ものジャガイモを見て「まるで、ヘビのような形だね！」「今日はこのなかのどれを植えるのかな！と期待に胸を膨らませていましたよ。菜園では、市野渡先生から「これはメークイーンという種類だよ」「土のお布団は優しくかけてね」などと丁寧に教えてもらい、一生懸命植える姿が見られましたよ。全員が植え終わると「Grow !Grow!Grow!」と大きなジャガイモが育つようにおまじないを唱えました。教室に帰ってからは、Potato Diaryに絵や「We planted Potatoes」の文章をかきました。「いっぱいお世話して、大きなジャガイモを育てたいな」「8月に収穫するのも楽しみ！」と気合い十分なお子さま達でした。
