Thank you to everyone for joining us for Sports Day! I appreciate your understanding with us only being able to have two adults per child. I am so proud of how Pre-K did with Sports Day this year. I hope you had as much fun as we did!
We made a new friend at the park. A praying mantis!
We also have three new caterpillar friends in the class. One is a butterfly and is already in its chrysalis. The other two are moths and are still growing.
We watched a little bit of Enishi's Sports Day.
We played outside everyday, including practicing climbing trees (safely!).
We made a map of Nagoya using our pictures from our neighborhoods. We tried to connect everything with streets that the children cut out during center time.
We will have a field trip next Thursday. Yay! We will be going potato picking. Please send in gloves, a bag for carrying the potatoes home, and 1000 yen. Please also make sure you bring your child to school on time that day (8:45) so that we can leave as early as possible. There will be no school lunch that day, so please send lunch, snack, utensils, and a drink bottle with a strap as usual.
International Children's Festival will be Friday October 30th. We will be doing some fun activities with the children in the classroom and the playroom. We will not be playing outside that day. Please send your child in either a costume or traditional clothes from their culture. Make sure that anything they wear they can easily remove themselves for toileting. Also please remember that weapons (even toy weapons) are not allowed at school. So if your child would like to be a ninja or samurai, please leave any swords, shuriken, etc. at home. Let us know if you have any questions.
See you Monday!
Ms. Darby and Ms. Maki
