Today, We had “Crazy Hair Day”!!! K1 friends came to Amicus with their favorite hairstyles and big smiles! Please enjoy our group pictures!!
Mommy and Daddy, thank you so much for helping make their fun hair styles so early in the morning for our special FUN Friday! Have a great long weekend! (*^▽^*)
In Japan, February 3rd is Setsubun day. On this day people throw soy beans to chase away monsters. In Kinder we talked about how some monsters can live in our heart and we need to chase them away so we can stay happy and healthy. Here are pictures from our “Go away monster” fun!
明日、２月３日（土）は節分の日ですね！K1の子達は、節分とは何かを学んだ後に、自分の ”心の中にいる鬼” をステッカーを使って表現しました。
音楽の時間では、「豆まきの歌」を習い、元気いっぱい歌いました！
自分の心の中にいる鬼に向かって、力いっぱい豆まきをしました！
GO AWAY!! MONSTER!!
K1の子達の心の中にいた鬼は逃げていきました！！これで、今年も一年、健康で幸せに過ごせますように！(*^▽^*)
Activity
Now K1 friends are learning about Countries and the 7 continents (North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania and Antarctic) during Activity time!
Researching about Jamaica
Researching about Australia
Researching about South Africa
Outside play and Gardening
The weather has been beautiful this week, K1 friends are having lots of fun playing outside!
It’s a new year! At the beginning of the year everyone takes time to think about what they want to do or what they want to do better this year. K1 friends also made such “new year’s resolutions”. Enjoy their wishes for 2024!
Kinder friends are challenging themselves and getting ready for our Marathon. Here are some photos. We hope you enjoy seeing their effort in pictures.
Happy New Year 2024! Wishing you all a wonderful New year! We are so happy to see your child with their big smiles are back to Amicus!! K1 friends made the New Year’s Cards（年賀状）using recycled paper before the winter break. It was such a great experience for them because reusing paper and reduces waste are good for the environment too. Did you receive a handmade New Year’s Card? Please enjoy watching the group pictures!
