K2 Library Time ๐Ÿ˜Š

Today is the first time that our K2 friends used AMICUS Library. On our way going up, many friends notice the beautiful clouds.

Student1: Look at the sky, the cloud is beautiful. ใใ‚‰ใฟใฆ๏ฝž๏ผใใ‚‚ใŒใใ‚Œใ„ใ ใ‚ˆใ€‚

More students: Yes, yes! We can see many sheep.ใ€€ใ†ใ‚“๏ผ ใฒใคใ˜ใใ‚‚ใ ใ‚ˆ ๏ผ

That’s how they think and learn. After that, all students agreed that this type of cloud is ALTOCUMULUS.

Then, we reached our destination. Our Librarian, Miss Masami Shimabukuro welcomed us. She explained the rules in the Library so that everyone can enjoy reading and borrowing books.

They also had the tour of the different sections in the Library.

Then, they read the books and selected the books that they want to borrow.

Borrowing Time

Story Time

They really enjoyed their first Library Time with Miss Masami.

On our way back to Kinder, they looked up in the sky again. They noticed that clouds changed. All of them said that this type of cloud is CUMULUS CLOUD.

Please read the books together with your child and bring the Library Bag with books on Monday. We will go to the Library every Friday unless there are events or special schedule. Also, the weather is really good these days so take time to look at they sky and talk to your child about the clouds if you are going outside this weekend. Enjoy ๐Ÿ˜Š

๐ŸŒค๏ธK2 Clouds Activity โ˜๏ธ

Do you ever wonder why there are clouds? Why the color of the clouds changes? Why clouds have different shapes? Those are actually our K2 friend’s questions. So, we started to learn about the different types of clouds now.
