Bamboo Shoots!!: May 21, 2007

レベッカ先生より

Today was the beginning of E week.

The Kinders finished their "Diddle Diddle Dumpling" worksheets. They clapped and sang along to the song with great enthusiasm.

In morning routine we started with attendance. Today we had two children at a time run to the board and find their picture and name the quickest.

They then stuck them to the board and ran back to the start line. The children loved this new routine and did it with much excitement.

We also added some new emotions today; Bored, Tired, Excited, Fantastic, Scared, Frustrated.

Before we knew it, it was snack time.

Then Rompers and Kinders joined classes to start learning their "E" vocabulary words. They all then had to draw an "E" word. For example Elephant, Ear, Eagle.

Before lunch we had an Egg hunt. All the eggs had clues inside.

For example, walk like an Elephant or count to Eight. If the child did what was written on the clue they received a sticker.

Then we had Japanese class to prepare for our fire drill. Yuko read a story to tell the children how dangerous it is to play with fire.

After lunch Julian cut up and showed the children a bamboo shoot from Kaori's garden. They got to see, touch and smell the bamboo shoot.

Then it was goodbye time. We read "Excuse me" and sang the goodbye song.
