Our Birthday friends made the cake early in the morning ๐
Here is a glimpse of our celebration ๐
We hope you all had a peaceful weekend as we commemorated Okinawa’s Memorial Day. We remember and pray for all of the families who were affected by the Battle of Okinawa and the War, as well as those around the world who cannot experience peace right now.

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 peaceful and 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.

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 are looking forward to watching our tomatoes grow! We are also enjoying our gardening experience, growing our cucumbers, tomatoes, and carrots. Some of our vegetables look like they are growing very well and others don’t. We encourage K1 to learn from the success-or-fail experience so they can deepen their understanding and appreciation of plants and food (in particular).

We also learned about RAINDROPS. Everyone was amazed how the tiny droplet of rain goes up. We also learned that it is actually sphere.
We tried the wind meter again. This time, we’ve seen it spin fast because of the electric fan. That’s when we realize that if it is windy, it will spin around fast and show us the direction where the wind is coming from.
Lastly, we went to their working place where the special computer shows the weather condition on earth sent by Sunflower satellite.

We are planning to have a salad party in K1 this year in hopes that K1’s understanding and interest in healthy food habits will develop well for their good heath. As a class we thought about what we want to plant in our K1 Garden. The students voted. They decided to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots.
