This week we had two important orientations so that our students may have awareness of safety in the buses and on the roads.

K1 and K2 Bus Orientation

When our students ride the bus for any event or field trip, it is important that they know what to do if there is an emergency. Thus, our teachers and SENON staff helped them learn to be calm and listen so that they can safely evacuate when needed.

K1 and K2 Traffic Safety Rules

Gushikawa Police Officers came and taught our friends to how to safely cross the road in order to avoid any accident.

Lastly, we close our week with a good weather. K1 and K2 friends ate and play outside together. 🙂

We appreciate all your efforts and love dear AMICUS Moms. With this, our Kindergarteners made their own presents for you.

K1 friends made aroma candles and cards.

K2 friends made bougainvillea garlands with their messages and pictures.

We wish you a wonderful day and we hope that you like their personally-handcrafted gift for YOU.

おかあさん　いつも　ありがとう❤️

We did SO MANY things this week in K1! We really want to show you…

Nature Walk- We walked around Amicus and saw many different trees, flowers, fish, horses, birds and more! We collected many nature materials for our activities.

Getto leaf boats– One K1 friend made a getto leaf boat at home and brought it to show friends. Students said they want to make one, too. So we collected many getto leaves on our nature walk and made leaf boats.

Japanese music- This week students enjoyed their first Japanese music lessons. They are learning about rhythm, movement, and how to sing こいのぼり.

P.E.- Last week we enjoyed playing with balloons in the Gym. This week K1s learned how to use good manners in the gym, and how to stretch their bodies well, and how to have fun “P.E. style“. They enjoyed moving like animals and practicing their jumping.

Outside play- We spent a lot of time outside this week. We enjoyed running, playing, digging in the sandbox and catching tadpoles and frogs. Students wanted to learn more about frogs so they read books about frogs. After observing them, they let it go.

K1 garden- We started planting seeds in our planter pots. We are looking forward to learning how plants and food grow!

Last Thursday was the 10th Anniversary of the Tsunami that claimed many lives and resources in Northern part of Japan.

Mr. Hosono talked about the areas affected by the tsunami.

Later on, we watched the actual footage from Youtube. It was heartbreaking and shocking for our Kindergarteners as they cannot imagine the intensity of that event.

Then, he shared about his family’s experience whose living in Tokyo at that time.

After that, we offered 1 minute of silence to remember the victims of the disaster.
