Hello everyone!  It’s been really hot recently.   I hope you all are taking care and staying out of the heat.

In kindergarten we are continuing on with summer school.  Our two themes were Ocean: sharks and music!
Our kindergarten students really love sharks!  This was a theme they really got into.  We also enjoyed the music theme as well.

For music we made our own shakers out of plastic eggs.  Each kid filled them with rice and then we taped the sides.
We then made our own musical parade and shook our shakers!  It was so much fun! - Starr♡

Summer Vacationが明け、

久しぶりに会った子供達でしたが、日に焼け、

ぐんと身長も伸び、少したくましくなっていましたね。

I went to grandmother's house!と夏休みの

思い出を楽しそうに聞かせてくれる子もいました☺

久しぶりのColoring Timeでは

夏に因んだSeashellsに色付けをしました。

Coloringの後は、

”Surprised”   ”Angry”   ”Scared”  ”Sleepy”

などといった感情表現を先生と一緒に

身体を動かしながら楽しく学びました。

I am happy!と笑顔を作ったり、

I am sadと言いながら泣き真似をしたり、

感情を上手く表現する子供達。

久しぶりにお友達に会え、

元気いっぱいな子供達でした。

Today was a fun day!   Our themes were cooking and camping.  We decided to incorporate the two themes together.  We painted a campfire using crumpled up foil.  It was unique to paint this way and everyone enjoyed it!

Continuing on with the camping theme,  we made some hot cocoa.   We made our hot cocoa from scratch.  We had a virtual campfire on a screen and we all thought it was a great time.

See you next time!  -Starr ♡

We had another great day at summer school here at kindergarten.  The themes for today were Relay and Craft!

For Craft we did a fun type of painting called “Squished Painting.”  To do this craft, each student put dabs of different colored paint on a piece of white paper.  We then put plastic wrap on top and the kids were able to squish around the paint without any mess!   It was super cool to see how they turned out.  Some kids even said it was magic. 😁

For Relay time we participated in several races.  One of our games was the Spoon Relay!  We divided the class into 2 teams and we raced around the cones balancing an egg on a spoon.  It was such a lot of fun!    -Starr ♡

Great job, everyone!

Hello! I hope everyone is taking care in the heat!  We are keeping cool here in kindergarten.   Today’s themes were Splish splash and Science!

During science time we learned about different animals and studied about their different eating habits.   We talked about how they were classified in three main categories:  carnivores, herbivores and omnivores.   It didn’t take the kids long at all to understand this concept.   We talked about which animals went into each category and they got most of it correct!  We also discussed how most people are omnivores.   It was such a great lesson.

Have a great day and come back for more kinder fun! - Starr♡
