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 ๐

Koinobori- Children’s Day
Children’s Day is a cultural celebration of children. It takes place on May 5th. Hanging carp streamers represents the hope that our children will grow healthy and strong and live long “genki” lives. We hope you will enjoy celebrating your child and making many wonderful memories during this long Golden Week!
My Early Kinder Days!
K1s and teachers made good memories in April. They may not remember these “foundational” days forever but we sure are having a great time together. Thank you again for your support throughout our 1st month of K1!
