June 23, 1945, is the day the battle of Okinawa ended. In 1961, Ryukyu Government decided to make June 23 a holiday called “Irei no Hi ” to console and remember those who lost their lives and pray for peace. To commemorate this important event in Okinawa, we learn about peace and gratitude with our Kinder friends. We dedicated June 19-23 as our Peace Week. ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผๅนด๏ผๆ๏ผ๏ผๆฅใฏใๆฒ็ธๆฆใ็ตใใฃใๆฅใงใใ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผๅนดใ็็ๆฟๅบใฏใใใฎๆฒๆจใชใงใใใจใๅฟใใใๅนณๅใธใฎ็ฅใใใใใใๆฅใจใใฆใ๏ผๆ๏ผ๏ผๆฅใๆ ฐ้ใฎๆฅใจๅฎใใพใใใๆฒ็ธใซใจใฃใฆใใจใฆใๅคงไบใชๆฅใ่ฟฝๆผใใใใใซใๅนผ็จๅใงใ๏ผ๏ผๆฅใใ๏ผ๏ผๆฅใๅนณๅ้ฑ้ใจใใฆใๅญใฉใใใกใจไธ็ทใซๅนณๅใซใคใใฆๅญฆใณใ่ใใฆใใพใใใ
K1 friends learned about what peace looks like, how we can act peacefully. We read, “Peace is Beautiful” (ใธใใใฃใฆใใฆใใ ใญ”). Some K1s stood up and shared with everyone what they think peace means, for example, peace means “no fighting”, ” we can eat a lot”, “we can grow up because there is no war”, “everyone is alive”, ” we can enjoy playing together.” We enjoyed making our “rainbow peace doves” this year as well, focusing on the age-old meaning of the rainbow- as rain washes the earth, we can wash our hearts and become as peaceful and beautiful as the rainbow.

Many friends said, โItโs dark!โ โItโs scary.โ โItโs hot here.โ in the beginning. However, they trust that we are together in this challenge. Although we agreed on NO ELECTRICITY DAY, we talked to our Kinder friends and decided that we will turn on the AC because of the temperature and humidity. We started the day with our normal routine. Later on, K1 and K2 friends started preparing for our lunch.ย ๅญใฉใใใกใฏ็ปๅใใฆใใฆใใใใใใใใฎใฃใฆใใใใใใใใใฏใผใฉใผใใชใใฎ๏ผใใจ่ฒใ ใชๅฃฐใๅญใฉใใใกใใ่ใใใฆใใพใใใๆฎๆฎตๅฝใใๅใซไฝฟใฃใฆใใ้ปๆฐใใใใใซใใใใใใฎใใใฟใใชใงๆใใ่ใใพใใใโปใใฎๅพใๅญใฉใใใกใฎไฝ่ชฟใๆฐ้ฃใใฏใผใฉใผใฏใคใใพใใใ

Cooking Time!!! ๐
Now, our big pot of rice is ready. Yehey! ๐
It took us the whole morning to prepare for this and it’s all worth it. We enjoyed our lunch. ๐
After this, we gathered and thought together how we can be peacemakers in our everyday lives. We also discussed the importance of electricity and food that we are enjoying everyday. We ended this gathering with a speech from Miss Collins and a song from Kinder Teachers.ใฟใใชใงใใใใใใซใใใ้ฃในใๅพใฏใใฟใใชใงๅนณๅใซใคใใฆๆนใใฆ่ฉฑใๅใใฎๅ ดใๆใกใพใใใใใใงใMs.ใณใชใณใบใใใใใผในใกใผใซใผ(ๅนณๅใฎ่ผชใๅบใใฆใใไบบ)ใฎ่ฉฑใใใใ่ชๅใใกใชใใฎๅนณๅใ่ใใพใใใๆๅพใซใฏใๅ ็ใใกใงใๆๆกใใๆญใใพใใใโฎ๏ธ
