๐คฉDuring Summer Break, our K2 friends did a lot of activities or went to many places. They have fun and interesting stories so we thank you dear parents for helping and letting them present their summer break project/memories. ๅคไผใฟใฎใใใทใงใณใซใๅๅ ใใใใจใใใใใพใใๅคใฎๆใๅบใไฝๅใซใใใใๅฅฝใใช็ใ็ฉใๅทฅไฝใใใใใพใใ่ชๅใฎ่ๅณใใใใฎใ่ชฟในใฆ็บ่กจใใใใจใๅญใฉใใใกใซใจใฃใฆใใจใฆใๅบๆฟใฎใใShow and Tellใซใชใใพใใใ
Our K2 friends used any of these sentences appropriate to their Show and Tell when they presented. 1. This is a _____________. 2. I made a ____________. 3. I went to ____________ with my _____________. After that, they spoke in Japanese to explain further details of their presentation. This activity gave them more confidence to speak in front of everyone and improve their communication skills. We are really happy that we have learned a lot from them. This activity also develop the listening and thinking skills of those who are watching them because they ask questions after each presentation.
Although we are already finished with the Summer Project Show and Tell, if your child went somewhere, made something cool or wants to share anything interesting with us, please don’t hesitate to bring it to school. We will find time to have Show and Tell. ๐

After the Summer break, K2 friends are happy to be back. Surprisingly, most of them ask first how’s AMICUS and our plants. So, we had a nature walk to check around. Although, we are sad that many trees and other things were destroyed, we are relief to see that many plants are still growing beautifully. ๅคไผใฟๆใใๅญใฉใใใกใฏ่ฒใ ใชๆใๅบใใไฝ้จใใฟใใชใซ่ฉฑใใฆใใใพใใใใใใใใฎๆใๅบใ่ใใฆๅฌใใๆใใพใใไน ใใถใใฎๅไผใซใใใคใพใงใ่ฉฑใๆญขใพใใชใใใใใงใใ๐ๅนผ็จๅใซๆปใฃใฆใใๅญใฉใใใกใฎๆงๅญใใ่ฆงใใ ใใโฉ
Yehey! It’s summer break. But before that, we had a really fun day.
We received bunches of banana from G2 parent. Kinder friends were amazed to see green bananas turning into yellow. So, yesterday we ate bananas during snack time.
Although it is hot daily, it is nice to see the beauty of nature and the clouds in the sky. We, in Kinder are so happy that the weather is good everyday. During our nature walk, we found Hibiscus (ใใคใในใซใน) and Ixora (ใใใ ใใ) flowers blooming near our building. ๆฏๆฅๅคฉๆฐใฎ่ฏใๆฅใ็ถใใๅญใฉใใใกใๆค็ฉใฎๅคๅใ้ฒใฎ้ใใซๆฐใฅใๆฅฝใใใงใใพใใ ใใใใชใใคใในใซในใใตใณใใณใซใ่ฆใคใใพใใ๏ผ
There are also different kinds of insects around. Many of our friends are interested in insects. During outside play, our Kinder friends found an interesting “yellow” praying mantis. According to a specialist, there are only 1 out of 300 praying mantis as shown on TV. We are taking care of it now. ๆฅใซใฏ่ฆใใใชใใฃใ่ซใใกใใใใใใๅๅบญใซ้ใณใซใใฆใใพใโบ ็ใใ้ป่ฒใฎใซใใญใชใ่ฆใคใใพใใใใใฎๆงๅญใTVใซใฆๆพ้ใใใพใใ๏ผ๏ผ ไธๅบฆ้ใใใใซใใญใชใงใใใใไฝๅบฆใๅๅบญใซ็พใใใใใๅญใฉใใใกใจ็ธ่ซใ่ฒใฆใใใจใซใชใใพใใใ

Tanabata, also known as the Star Festival, is a Japanese festival. The story talks about Orihime and Hikoboshi. Every 7th of July is the day that celebrates the meeting of this two deities. It is also believed that when you make Tanzaku and hang your wish in the bamboo tree, when this two deities meet, your wish will come true. So, our Kinder friends also wrote their wishes.
Today, Ms. Masami also read the book about Tanabata during Story Time when they went to the Library.
They also sing a Tanabata Song during their MUSIC Time.
Today, we have our special guests from Ryukyu Kajimaya (็็ใใใพใใผ). They introduced Eisa to our K2 friends and they were really interested in learning the Okinawa traditional dance.
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 peacefuland 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
