After Marathon, we had a fun time together.
We also had a great time grooming and riding the horses at AMICUS.
Also, students came in their unique and creative hairstyles.
It is really nice to see our students learning, exploring and experiencing various activities. Keep smiling everyone.
K1s really love their friends. To show our friendship, we learned about the story of St. Valentine, learned Valentines words and then made hearts and Valentines poems for each other. We hope your family had a special Valentines Day as well!

Mango is very popular in Okinawa. However, Philippine mango is a different variety. Filipinos love mangoes too. But we eat green (unripe) mangoes and yellow (ripe) mangoes.

They also listened to the stories about Setsubun and thought of the ogre/demon/monster attitude inside them that they want to get rid of.

The weather has been beautiful this week, K1 friends are having lots of fun playing outside!
It was a perfect day to ride the horses! This week the weather was very, very cold, but thankfully it warmed up enough for us to enjoy getting to know our Amicus horses Louisy, Bolt, and Puma.
Leaning about how to ride the horses.
We experienced brushing the horses.
We experienced cleaning the horses hooves.
We experienced feeding the horses.
We enjoyed touching our beloved Amicus horses. K1s look forward to their next horse riding activity.
K1s were happy to see each other again after the break. We started our time together by telling each other about our experiences. We enjoyed seeing some of our friends’ photos. Thank you for sending them to us!
We had fun playing together in the Gym!
We enjoyed reading a Japanese picture card book (kamishibai) and playing the new year’s game, fukuwarai. It was so funny!
We ended the busy week with making and flying our homemade kites. It was a great week!
