Amicus Kindergarten

Learning to play. Playing to learn. :-)

This week in fun K1!

We did SO MANY things this week in K1! We really want to show you…

Nature Walk- We walked around Amicus and saw many different trees, flowers, fish, horses, birds and more! We collected many nature materials for our activities.

Getto leaf boats– One K1 friend made a getto leaf boat at home and brought it to show friends. Students said they want to make one, too. So we collected many getto leaves on our nature walk and made leaf boats.

Japanese music- This week students enjoyed their first Japanese music lessons. They are learning about rhythm, movement, and how to sing こいのぼり.

P.E.- Last week we enjoyed playing with balloons in the Gym. This week K1s learned how to use good manners in the gym, and how to stretch their bodies well, and how to have fun “P.E. style“. They enjoyed moving like animals and practicing their jumping.

Outside play- We spent a lot of time outside this week. We enjoyed running, playing, digging in the sandbox and catching tadpoles and frogs. Students wanted to learn more about frogs so they read books about frogs. After observing them, they let it go.

K1 garden- We started planting seeds in our planter pots. We are looking forward to learning how plants and food grow!

K1 has begun!

We are so happy to welcome our new K1s this year. Our first day of school was very pleasant. The students spent the day learning about K1 routines, how to prepare their things for the day by themselves, and taking First Day of School photos outside. They really showed us that they are able to do many things and we had a great time. K1 is off to a great start!

Remembering 3.11 Tsunami in Northeastern Japan

Last Thursday was the 10th Anniversary of the Tsunami that claimed many lives and resources in Northern part of Japan.

Mr. Hosono talked about the areas affected by the tsunami.

Later on, we watched the actual footage from Youtube. It was heartbreaking and shocking for our Kindergarteners as they cannot imagine the intensity of that event.

Then, he shared about his family’s experience whose living in Tokyo at that time.

After that, we offered 1 minute of silence to remember the victims of the disaster.
