In AMICUS, we prioritize the safety of our students. Thus, we make sure that we also practice the emergency procedures in case something happens.

Some Firsts: Phonics, Library, Activity…

K1 friends have been busy every day. We hope you are enjoying the stories they tell about their days.

Phonics

K1s are learning to write their name and about the letters and letter sounds of the A and B now. They are having fun singing the ABC song and learning the ASL sign for the letters. Ms. Berry is having fun, too!

Library

Last week we started Library Time. K1s can borrow 2 books every week. Please enjoy reading their books to them.

Activity Time- I’m Special Book Project

K1s continue learning about each other using their I’m Special book. Recently we worked on their page about how tall they are. They enjoyed measuring each other using non-standard measurement tools.

K2 Library Time ๐Ÿ˜Š

Today is the first time that our K2 friends used AMICUS Library. On our way going up, many friends notice the beautiful clouds.

Student1: Look at the sky, the cloud is beautiful. ใใ‚‰ใฟใฆ๏ฝž๏ผใใ‚‚ใŒใใ‚Œใ„ใ ใ‚ˆใ€‚

Other students: Yes!!! nice clouds!ใปใ‚“ใจใ ๏ผใใ‚Œใ„๏ผ

Student 2: What type of cloud is that?ใ€€ใ‚ใ‚Œใฏใชใ‚“ใฎใ€€ใใ‚‚ใ‹ใช๏ผŸ

Student 3: I think it’s cirrocumulus cloud!ใ€€ใ†ใ‚ใ“ใใ‚‚ใ€€ใ ใ‚ˆ๏ผ

Other Student: we think so too!ใ€€ใ‚ใŸใ—ใ‚‚ใ€€ใ†ใ‚ใ“ใใ‚‚ใ ใจใŠใ‚‚ใ†๏ผ

Student 4: No, I think it’s altocumulus cloud.ใ€€ใกใŒใ†ใ‚ˆใ€ใฒใคใ˜ใใ‚‚ใ ใ‚ˆใญใƒผ

More students: Yes, yes! We can see many sheep.ใ€€ใ†ใ‚“๏ผ ใฒใคใ˜ใใ‚‚ใ ใ‚ˆ ๏ผ

That’s how they think and learn. After that, all students agreed that this type of cloud is ALTOCUMULUS.

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 ๐Ÿ˜Š
