We are happy to see Kinder friends this week. Their smiles and happy voices make AMICUS Kindergarten alive.
This week, we were busy with many activities like Eiken Test for K2 and Performance practice. Thank you for your creativity and cooperation, we have received most of the costumes from K1 and K2.
Before this week ends, we also had an important event in Kinder. Setsubun (็ฏๅ) is one of these traditional Japanese events. Setsubun involves a lot of bean eating and bean throwing to ward off evil spirits that bring disaster, misfortune and bad health and marks the end of winter. So, we did it in Kinder too.
Although K1s have not been in Kinder for one week now, teacher have been taking care of our Kinder Garden. Last week it was finally time to harvest our 20-day radishes. We hope K1 friends have been able to grow their radishes successfully at home, too ๐
We look forward to growing and learning about more yummy vegetables next time!
K2 friends learned many things about plant. One of the things that we did is to experiment if “Beans Sprout Seeds” will be able to grow on water and cotton.
They check and took care of it everyday.
They were really happy to see the bean sprout growing so they wanted to take care by themselves so, we gave them that chance. ๆค็ฉใซใคใใฆใฎใขใฏใใฃใใใฃใฎไธใคใงใใใใ่ฑใ่ฒใฆใๅฎ้จใใใพใใใๆฐดใฎไธญใจใใณใใใณใงใ่ฒใคใฎใๆฏๆฅใไธ่ฉฑใใใชใใ่ฆณๅฏใใฆใใพใใ๏ผ ใใใงใไธไบบใฒใจใ่ชๅใง่ฒใฆใฆใฟใใใชใใจใใๅฃฐใใใใใใฃใฆใฟใใใจใซใใพใใโช
They sprayed water as soon as they come in the morning, during breaks and before going home.
However, there was a delay in the growth of the beans. We are guessing that it could be because of the weather. ๐ But today, they brought them home. Please talk to your child how was the experience of growing beans sprout seeds. They expressed the idea of growing it for few more days then, they would like to cook and eat this vegetable. However, some friends desire to plant them in a bigger pot and hopefully harvest the seeds in the future. Whatever your child decides is fine. If you want to share few pictures when they come back on what they did to the beans sprout, it will be greatly appreciated. This would be helpful to continue encouraging our K2 friends to be more responsible and plant-loving students.
K1s enjoyed another super field trip! We observed how coral grows, and went to Melody Beach for clean up garbage (Super Earth Savers- yay!). Then we ate lunch and played at Iha Park. Finally, we walked home from the park- but K1s decided to continue their garbage pickup as we walked back to school. They are really thinking about how to take care of our Earth. Fantastic!!
Our Kindergarteners are listening and encountering many English words everyday. We also learned more of it during ACTIVITY and PHONICS Time. Starting April we reviewed the alphabet and letter sounds based on what we’ve learned in K1.
Then, we had many different styles of learning the alphabet and words. These are some the games that we had to remember new vocabulary and sentences.
Even during distance learning, we never missed Phonics Time.
After summer break, we continue to learn more.
Of course, we also enjoy creating something beautiful using the alphabet.
Those are some of the memories that prove that our K2 friends enjoy learning the alphabet everyday so, we came up of a challenge for them.
Today we conducted our K2 PHONICS QUIZ BEE. This event encourages friendly competition and boost the confidence of K2 students to bring out the English skills they have acquired during Phonics class and their everyday exposure with the language. ไปใพใงใใขใฏใใฃใใใฃใใใฉใใใฏในใงๅญฆใใ ใใจใๆฎๆฎตๅนผ็จๅใง้ใใใฆใใไธญใงใ่ใใใใใฆใใ่ฑ่ชใไฝฟใฃใฆใใฉใใใฏในใฏใคใบใใผใ้ๅฌใใพใใใ
At the end of the event, we gave them the Certificate of Participation for their great effort and active participation. Finally, we present to you the winners of K2 Phonics Quiz Bee.
