Strawberry Field Trip

It was a great day to go strawberry picking! The strawberries were very juicy and so delicious! Yummy!

Tops Tournament 2021

We did our first Tops (Koma) Tournament. Everyone tried their best (even teachers, too!). Everyone showed good sportsmanship- “Challenge and Try!” Everyone had a great time! Enjoy some of our pictures.

Our three champions: #1- Rikyo! #2- Norris! #3- Mr. Hosono! Congratulations!

We will continue Kendama and Tops challenge in Kinder. Now our Kinder friends are so into it. (They might have asked you to buy top and kendama to practice more.)

Kinder friends enjoy practicing and improving their skills.

Good job, Kinder friends! We look forward to seeing the next stage of this challenge!

We congratulate everyone for taking up the challenge of KENDAMA ๐Ÿ™‚

“Losing doesn’t mean you fail. It means you have to try harder to succeed next time.”

We will hold our next test next month so our K1 friends have more chances of showing their skills in different levels.

Good luck and do your best K1 Friends. We are proud of your new found interest. ๐Ÿ™‚

Enjoying the Cherry Blossoms

The cherry blossoms are in full bloom around Kinder and we enjoyed some time sketching our different cherry blossom scenes…

Last year K2 teachers made pottery magnets. Recently our K2 friends said they want to make pottery magnets, too. So we met our Amicus pottery teacher, Ms. Hasegawa, to start our mini pottery project- magnets!
