Amicus Kindergarten

Learning to play. Playing to learn. :-)

Marathon

AMICUS is blessed with big space and beautiful surroundings. We usually go outside for a nature walk. For over a month, Kinder friends did not just walk around but also practice running for the Marathon. Fortunately, the weather is good yesterday. We are happy that we had the chance to finally to hold this special event.

After Marathon, we had a special game. Rock-Scissors, Paper, 1,2,3!

It was really a fun day! But before we forget, we acknowledge the determination and hard work of all our Kinder friends so everyone got a special certificate. Also, we have a small gift for our game winner and medals to our TOP 3 Marathon runners for both K1 and K2.

Then, LUNCH TIME ๐Ÿ™‚

How Kinder friends made handmade postcards.

As each family received a Nengajou on January 1st, you probably heard from your child how they made their postcard.

There are a lot of waste pieces of copy papers or scraps of papers in Kinder. First, Kinder friends ripped up the papers and put them in a mixer. They also put a hand-full of colored paper after they discussed their team’s color with their group members. They were so excited to mix them up!

After adding some glue in it, they poured it in the special frame in the water. They enjoyed mixing with their hands.

Kinder friends learned how to make handmade paper and how recycling is important and meaningful through this activity.

We hope that you received the NEW YEAR postcards that we sent. ๐Ÿ™‚ Have a wonderful 2023 everyone!

Kinder Holiday Crafts

Our Kindergarteners are learning and making many crafts to show their skills and creativity.

K2 friends made their Sports Day frames and pottery. They also made many Christmas ornaments that they brought home at the beginning of December. They also made/sewn their own Christmas bags and brought them home during Pajama/Winter Clothes Day.

Our K1 friends also made their bags using used clothes and snowflakes. They also brought them home with the presents inside during the same event.

After Christmas, New YEAR came! Since it is the YEAR of the RABBIT, K2 friends made their New Year’s Resolution at the back of their cute rabbit arts.

It is nice to see these smiles again ๐Ÿ™‚ Happy New Year everyone. Let’s challenge more in making many arts and crafts this year!!!

โœจGames with Mr. Teruya (K2)โœจ

Today, we invited Mr. Teruya again. ๐Ÿคฉ

We walked around AMICUS and got palm tree seeds.

Each of them got 5 seeds. After that, we played “rock, scissors, paper”.

Later on, we counted how many seeds do we have left in our bag. Some friends didn’t have any, some of them won many times so they had a lot. ๐Ÿ˜Šย 

But the fun didn’t end there, we had another game. Each of them had 5 seeds again. They walked around, found a partner and hid some in their hands. They both said, “ใชใ‚“ใ“ใ€€ใชใ‚“ใ“ใ€€ใ„ใƒผใใค๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ” Then, they needed to guess the total seed that Friend 1 and Friend 2 are holding. Whoever guess it right got all the seeds.

๐Ÿ‘What a nice MATH GAME!!! Good job everyone and THANK YOU Mr. Teruya! ๐Ÿ‘

Safety first! ๐Ÿ‘

In any place, security and safety is the priority. That’s why we always remind our Kinder friends to learn and play safely everyday. In addition, we had safety drills and orientation held in AMICUS.

At the beginning of the year (MAY 2022), we had TRAFFIC RULES ORIENTATION. We invited the Uruma City Police Department to teach our Kinder friends about road safety.

They also taught us about taking care of oneself in case a stranger approach them.

Today, we reminded them of this. Please teach your child about this at home too.

We also had another lesson today by our nurse Miss Nakamura. She taught us to love our self and take care of our bodies.

Let’s remind everyone to be careful always and never leave your side. Be safe always!๐Ÿ’•

K2 Fun Day 9.22.2022

K2 friends had many fun and exciting activities in September one of those is K2 Fun Day which has become one of their precious memory in their Kinder life! Before the event, teachers and K2 friends decided on the activities and schedule for that day together.ย After that, we prepared all the materials and decorations.

We made our original lanterns that we used on that night!

We also made our original tie dye shirt. Some of them experience washing clothes for the first time so they said, “It is difficult to squeeze! My hands hurt!” However, we look at it as their learning experience and good way to develop their fine motor skills, so please let them help you at home as well.

The day before the event, Mr. Teruya (ใฆใ‚‹ใ‚„ใฎใŠใ˜ใ•ใ‚“) taught them how to make fire and assemble woods for the bonfire.

Finally, September 22nd came! We enjoyed obstacle relay, word challenge, soccer, dodgeball, K2 (Talent) Show and bonfire. Please watch the video below.
