CURRENT EVENTS 2021

• 2021.01.19Today’s Class 2

  

  Class 2 had a lot of fun today. Everyone was able to take off and put away their snow wear by themselves, and get ready for the day. After Discovery Time and a short morning meeting, we had ECT with Class 4. Half of the class focused on Left and Right, while the other half talked about different patterns. After that it was time for a music lesson, so we headed upstairs to see Yasue-sensei. Today was a special surprise, as the children got to play the handbells for the first time. Everyone worked together to play ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.’ After music, we made birthday presents for this month’s birthday friends. Because of the blizzard going on outside, we decided to stay indoors today, and played Musical Chairs until lunch time. After lunch, we enjoyed some Discovery Time until it was time to head home. Today was great, and we’ll see you all again tomorrow!

• 2021.01.18Today in Class 1

  

  Class 1 had so much fun today. In the morning, we played with Class 2, and then did our exercise and calming together. After that, we practiced our phonics with a challenging game. For today’s English Conversation Time, we joined our friends in Class 7 and spoke together. Everyone did a great job. We also went to the park and played in the snow. We have been doing many winter activities, like making snowballs, building snowmen, playing in an igloo, and making snow angels. But today, we brought our homemade sleds, and got to slide down the big hill! Everyone had so much fun using their sleds and playing together in the snow. We were so hungry after playing in the park that everyone ate a big, yummy lunch. We are all looking forward to a lot more winter activities this month!

• 2021.01.15Today’s Elephant Class

  

  Today’s Elephant Class children all seemed very happy to be back for the start of the 3rd Term. Everyone enjoyed playing with familiar as well as new toys. We had morning meeting and danced to “Under the Sea” too. The children enjoyed the book Hooray for Fish and helped a “mommy” fish look for her “baby” who was hiding. They could concentrate very hard and find the fish each time and hid it. Lunch box time was very nice and the children were happy to show us their bento lunch boxes. Thank you parents for your support and let’s have a wonderful time in the 3rd term. Happy New Year and see you next Tuesday!

• 2021.01.14Today’s Elephant Class

  

  Today in Elephant Class we were so happy to see all the children again. All 15 members came and we enjoyed the day together by playing lots. The children could remember so many things like our morning meeting and dances. They could speak English with confidence as well. We read the book Hooray for Fish and helped a “mommy” fish look for “baby”. The children all enjoyed their lunch boxes too. Thank you to the parents for your support and we really look forward to the third term together. There will be so many fun activities the children will get to enjoy!

• 2021.01.13Today’s Bear Class

  

  Welcome back Bear Class friends! We are so happy to see everyone back after the winter vacation. We enjoyed the first lesson of 2021 by playing with their favorite toys as well as some new ones. Our English lesson began by reading the book Hooray for Fish. Then, the children did their best to match mommy and baby fish together. There were many colors of fish and they hid under rocks. Children could say “It’s mommy” and “It’s baby” with confidence. We hope to offer a bigger challenge next week and hope everyone is ready for more fun in the third term. Let’s use lots of English together. See you next week!

  明けましておめでとうございます。本年もどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。
  さて、今日からキッズワールドが始まりました。「明けましておめでとうございまうす」と元気にあいさつをしてくれたり、「新しいブーツカバーを買ったんだよ！」と嬉しそうに幼稚園へ来てくれた、お子さま達。年明け最初のキッズワールドでは、3人で一つの巨大な凧に絵を描いて、北風公園で凧あげをしました。気温が低く寒かったですが、凧が上がると嬉しそうに、走り回っていたお子さま達でした。午後はみんなで「かごめかごめ」をしました。「か～ごめかごめ～」と可愛らしい声が聞かれ、「私はだれでしょう？」の質問では、声から友達の名前をすぐに当てるなど、とても楽しそうでしたよ。休み明け、久しぶりの幼稚園、お子さま達はみんな笑顔で過ごしていました。
