Amicus Kindergarten

Learning to play. Playing to learn. :-)

K2 Insect Mission Game

K2 friends accepted our challenge.

They formed 6 teams and each team chose an insect to research on.

Mission # 1 : How does it spell?

Mission # 2 : What do they eat?

Mission # 3 : Draw two kinds of this insect.

After accomplishing their mission through research, they had a presentation.

After this Mission Game, they got more interested in insects. We are now continuing our INSECTS activities. We will share more with you in the future. ๐Ÿ™‚

K2 Swimming

K2 friends went to a swimming school for two consecutive Mondays.

Last week, they met their swimming teachers and enjoyed being in the water.

Today, they had more fun swimming ๐Ÿ™‚

If you want to learn how to swim, you have to be in the water. ๐Ÿ™‚ What a wonderful experience indeed! โค๏ธ

K2 Catching and Sketching of Insects

There are many living things around AMICUS insects, geckos, frogs, and others.

This week, we enjoyed the nice weather and the sight of these creatures.

“I want to catch insects!”

“Let’s catch the insects together!”

“I caught a butterfly!”

“We caught this grasshopper together.”

“I caught a ladybug!”

“I caught a honeybee!!!”

“I caught a praying mantis.”

“I caught many grasshoppers!”

These are some of their words after catching the insects! They were so happy to be outside and catch them.

Look how many insects did they catch ๐Ÿ™‚

They are also interested in frogs so they caught them too! ๐Ÿ™‚

Except the frogs, we brought all the insects inside the classroom for a while and sketch them.

After they finished sketching, they surely release them outside. ๐Ÿ™‚

Everyone feels glad with this experience ๐Ÿ™‚ Truly, simple things like appreciation of nature and hands-on experience make every learning more meaningful! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Bus and Safety Rules Orientation

This week we had two important orientations so that our students may have awareness of safety in the buses and on the roads.

K1 and K2 Bus Orientation

When our students ride the bus for any event or field trip, it is important that they know what to do if there is an emergency. Thus, our teachers and SENON staff helped them learn to be calm and listen so that they can safely evacuate when needed.

K1 and K2 Traffic Safety Rules

Gushikawa Police Officers came and taught our friends to how to safely cross the road in order to avoid any accident.

Lastly, we close our week with a good weather. K1 and K2 friends ate and play outside together. ๐Ÿ™‚

April Birthday Party

Hello everyone ๐Ÿ™‚

We are going to upload our Monthly Birthday Party here in our blog. We hope that even if we cannot invite parents due to the Covid-19 pandemic, you may have an idea of our celebration.

Our K2 friends are the hosts of the event. They decided by themselves who would like to be the MCs, pianists and performers.

K1 friends had a fun time this week!

This week we started our All about me activities to get to know each other better. Students first made their handprint tree.

K1 students decided what they want to learn for their main theme. They chose between animals, sea animals, space, insects, and plants. We took a vote and it was decided that we will learn about… Plants!

On Wednesday we had our first Kinder Birthday Party. We had a great time celebrating our April birthday friends. K2 friends played the piano, MC’d and performed tricks using tops (koma) and kendama.

We made carp streamer art (koinobori) for Children’s Day.

K1s enjoyed English music time this week, singing Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes, playing Simon Says, and learning our spring song and poem.

Because of the beautiful weather we enjoyed eating and playing outside.
