Last Day of K1
We had a great, busy last day of K1. Our last schedule of K1 included Circle Time, Dance Time, Amicus Closing Ceremony via Zoom, Snack Time, K1 Thank You Walk, Lunch Time, Stations Time, Cleaning, Movie, Height & Weight measurement, Story Time and Home Time. Yes, it was a BUSY Day. Even with the rainy weather we were able to have a lot of fun. Please ask your child about their busy day at home.
K1最終日は、とても忙しい一日となりました。サークルタイム、ダンス、終業式、スナック、「ありがとう」ウォーク、ランチ、ステーションタイム、映画鑑賞、身体測定、ストーリータイム、最後のホームタイム。あいにくの天気でしたが、全力で遊びました。ぜひ、ご家庭でお話を聞いてみてください。
As always K1 teachers THANK YOU parents and families of your support over this school year. Students learned a lot. Teachers learned a lot as well. We appreciate the good times and challenging times. We are happy our K1s have grown up so much. We hope you all have a wonderful and safe Spring Break. We look forward to hearing many vacation stories from the new K2s in April!
この一年間、ご家族の皆様にはたくさんのご理解とご協力をいただきました。そのおかげで、私たち教員も子どもたちと楽しい時間を過ごすことができ、また間近でK1の子どもたちの成長を見守ることができました。ありがとうございます。春休みを経て、４月からはK2になります。一人ひとりが自分らしく、新しいことにも積極的に挑戦し、経験を積んでより成長していってほしいです。

PIZZA PARTY!!!!
Today was the perfect day for a yummy pizza party!!
But before the party we took time to review our “Food & Nutrition” theme from this year.
今日は待ちに待ったピザパーティ！しかも天気はピザ作りにピッタリな最高の一日。
まずピザ作りを始める前に、今年度のテーマの一つでもあった「食べ物と栄養」について振り返る時間を設けました。
Kinder friends remember a lot of information from our Theme. Teachers are so proud of them!
学んだことを今でもしっかりと覚えていた子どもたち。そんなみんなを先生たちは誇らしく思ってますよ😉
Our pizza-making experience-
We made our pizzas using all natural ingredients, most of which were grown here in Okinawa. We used our Amicus pizza oven for the first time in about 3 years! Kinder students learned how to make dough from “scratch” and how to prepare their pizzas. Everyone enjoyed the cooking experience!
ピザ作りをするにあたり、できる限り沖縄県産の食材を使うということを子どもたちとも話しました。食材の中の一つ”ブロッコリー”はK1の畑で育てたものです！
そしてピザを焼くのはアミークスのピザ窯で。窯は約３年ぶりの復活となるため、事前に内部をしっかりときれいにしました✨子どもたちは”生地の作り方”から学び、どのような過程でピザを作っていくのかも知りました。みんなクッキングを楽しみました！
They enjoyed rolling the dough and putting their ingredients on.
自分の生地は自分で伸ばし、具も思い思いに乗せました。
The pizza was delicious. Many friends said, “I want more!”
ピザはとてもおいしく出来上がり、たくさんの子が「おかわり！」と言って２枚目３枚目と食べていました。
🌸SHine Event – K2 Festival 🏮
今日は、子どもたちにとって保護者の皆様と幼稚園で過ごせた特別な一日になったと思います。みんなの楽しんでいる姿に私たちもうれしく思いました。計画から準備等、ありがとうございました。
Thank you for very much for preparing this wonderful event. We are grateful for all your support and cooperation this year. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow to celebrate another milestone in your child’s life! 😊
今年も一年幼稚園へのご理解、ご協力ありがとうございました。楽しい一年となりました。
明日、卒園式で皆様に会えることを楽しみにしています。
一年間ありがとうございました。😊
Doll Festival- Hinamatsuri
On March 3rd Japan celebrates Hinamatsuri or Doll Festival. Homes are decorated with special dolls to celebrate all the special little girls around. All the children enjoyed making ohinasama and odairisama dolls this week to decorate the home. We read a book about the festival as well. We hope you enjoy this sweet weekend with your family.
Kinder Strawberry Picking Experience
Yesterday we went on our last field trip of the year to a Kanna Strawberry Farm in Ginzoa. It was a great experience. Students could see how strawberries are grown and how to harvest them- “KONNICHIWA!” We even learned a little bit about how strawberries are good for our bodies- VITAMIN C POWER!
Some friends said, “I ate 20!”, “I ate 50!”, “I ate 100!!” WOW!
After strawberry picking we went to Iha Park here in Uruma City. We played and ate and enjoyed our walk back to school. The weather was BEAUTIFUL! We hope they were able to talk with you about their sweet day!
🍓Strawberry Picking (K2)🍓
🚍We went to Ginoza today for a special trip. 🍓🍓🍓
We ate a lot of strawberries 🍓
After that, we went to Iha Park to play.
Then, ate our lunch together.

Everyone enjoyed our afternoon snack. 😊
