Amicus Kindergarten

Learning to play. Playing to learn. :-)

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™‚

Meeting our new friends from TAIWAN

Before meeting our new friends from Taiwan, K2 friends learned a bit about where Okinawa, Japan and Taiwan are using the world map.

After that, we listened to a story about moon entitled ” ใพใ‚“ใพใ‚‹ใ„ใ‘ใฎใŠใคใใฟ” during our special story time. We also looked at the pictures of the moon since the Moon Festival is coming soon.

After that, we discovered that our Taiwan friends are also celebrating “Moon Festival”. So, we set up a zoom meeting to meet them.

Today, September 17th, 2021, our Kinder friends witnessed the Moon Festival ceremony of our Taiwan friends.

Our K2 friends showed them a Japanese hand play called “ใ˜ใ‚…ใ†ใ”ใ‚„ใ•ใ‚“ใฎใ‚‚ใกใคใ” and our friends from Taiwan also performed a “Moon Festival” song and dance.

THANK YOU for the mooncake that you sent us Taiwan friends.

To remember our first meeting with them, K2 friends drew on their journal their memory of today’s event. Here are some of them.

This year, the MOON FESTIVAL will be next week, September 21st, 2021. If you have time, please watch the moon on its brightest and fullest size, coinciding with harvest time in the middle of Autumn with your child.

Welcome Back Kinder!

We were so happy to see everyone’s smiling faces at Kinder again. Although teachers used much caution with the children today we were able to have a great day. Thank you again, families, for all of your support over our closure. We were happy to see that the students are well and that they still remember our daily routines. They were so comfortable being at school again.
