From 8:20, we have our morning exercise and challenge. You might have heard it from them or they may have asked you to buy hula hoop or jump rope, again thank you for listening to your child. They have been showing so much improvement in the skills that they have chosen to challenge and try.

K2 loves PLANTS :)

Our K2 friends have been taking care of our GARDEN since APRIL. ๐Ÿ™‚ It is a part of our morning routine to clean up outside, give water to our plants and of course, plant new plants. Here are some of the plants that we had and have in our garden.๏ผ”ใŒใคใ‹ใ‚‰K2ใฎใฟใ‚“ใชใงใ€€ใŠใ›ใ‚ใ—ใฆใ„ใ‚‹ใ€€ใ‚„ใ•ใ„ใ‚„ใฏใชใ€€ใชใฉใฎใ—ใ‚‡ใใถใคใŸใก๏ผ

First, we planted OKRA ๐Ÿ™‚ They produced and we harvested lots of Okra but later on, the leaves slowly decreased as they were eaten by the caterpillars and other insects. Well, it is part of the give and take of the circle of life.

We also harvested CARROTS, BITTER MELON and BELL PEPPER from our garden. ๐Ÿ™‚

We heard that PANDAN has a fragrant leaves and it is commonly use as flavoring in the Philippines and other countries in Asia. Luckily, we received these “screwpine” leaves from one of our parents from Thailand. ๐Ÿ™‚

During Spring, we also planted some FLOWERS to give color to our surroundings.

AVOCADO is one of the healthiest vegetable/fruit that’s why it is loved by many but growing it is a challenge. Our K2 friend here, did a great job of growing this avocado from home and brought it to school. It is growing steadily and we are excited to see it bigger and bear fruit :)ใ‚ขใƒœใ‚ซใƒ‰ใฏใŸใญใ‹ใ‚‰ใ€€ใใ ใฆใฆใ“ใ‚“ใชใซใŠใŠใใใชใ‚Šใพใ—ใŸ๏ผ

Look at these trees. These are from the seeds that we literally just put on the soil and behold, we have these growing PAPAYA and MANGO trees. Amazing! :)ใ‚„ใ•ใ„ใ‚„ใใ ใ‚‚ใฎใฎใ‚ณใƒณใƒใ‚นใƒˆใ‹ใ‚‰ใ€ใƒžใƒณใ‚ดใƒผใ‚„ใƒ‘ใƒ‘ใ‚คใƒคใฎใ‚ใŒใงใพใ—ใŸ๏ผใŸใ„ใ›ใคใซใใ ใฆใŸใ‚‰ใ“ใ‚“ใชใซใ€€ใŠใŠใใใชใ‚Šใพใ—ใŸ๏ผ

We also have SWEET POTATO in our garden. We just planted the stems and see how many potatoes it will produce in the coming months. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Check out this ONIONS! We usually use lots of onions in our cooking so, we thought of planting some as well. They are growing fast ๐Ÿ™‚

Since we have lots of plants in our garden, it is easy to forget what plant is it, so our Kinder friends thought of making PLANT SIGNS ๐Ÿ™‚ This also lead us to a decision for our K2 THEME from this month which is PLANT.

ใ›ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚…ใ†ใ‹ใ‚‰ใ€€ใ‚ใŸใ‚‰ใ—ใใƒ†ใƒผใƒžใŒใใพใ‚Šใพใ—ใŸ๏ผใ€Œใ—ใ‚‡ใใถใคใ€ใงใ™๏ผใ•ใฃใใใฟใ‚“ใชใงใ€ใ‹ใ‚“ใฐใ‚“ใฅใใ‚Šโ™ช

This is BANANA BLOSSOM/FLOWER. In the Philippines, we use this to cook a healthy dish with coconut milk. ใ‚ˆใ†ใกใˆใ‚“ใงใใ ใฆใฆใ„ใ‚‹ใ€€ใƒใƒŠใƒŠใŒใใ ใฃใŸใ‚‰ใ€ใฟใ‚“ใชใงใคใใฃใฆใ€€ใŸในใŸใ„ใญโ™ช

We hope to take care and learn more of our plants which is the main source of our food and oxygen! ใ“ใ‚Œใ‹ใ‚‰ใ‚‚ใ€€ใฟใ‚“ใชใงใ€€ใŠใ›ใ‚ใ‚’ใ—ใฆใ€€ใ—ใ‚‡ใใถใคใฎใ‚ขใ‚ฏใƒ†ใ‚ฃใƒ“ใƒ†ใ‚ฃใ‚‚ใ€€ใ„ใฃใฑใ„ใ—ใ‚ˆใ†ใญ๏ผใ€€:)

K2 Phonics Time

โ™ซ The wheels on the bus go round and round โ™ซ

Our K2 friends went to different places while riding our ‘imaginary’ bus and singing our song.

Otter friends used the sentence “I want to go to the post office.” and “I can see a ______ in the post office.”

Otter friends also used the sentence “I want to go to the beach.” and “I can see a ______ in the beach.”

Whale friends used the sentence “I want to go to the flower shop.” and “I can see a ______ in the flower shop.”

Whale friends also used the sentence “I want to go to the fire station.” and “I can see a ______ in the fire station.”

Nice thinking K2 friends. Although we cannot travel for real this time, you have lots of ideas and confidence to answer using our English sentences. Good job! ๐Ÿ™‚
