International Family Day is celebrated to recognize the importance of families and their role in society, raise awareness about the significance of families, highlight the challenges they face, promote the ideals of togetherness, and showcase the efforts that strengthen family units worldwide.
To show appreciation for their families, our youngsters made a special fridge magnet. They decorated it with colorful beads and painted it with their desired colors. Our little ones made it with lots of love! Hope you like it…

In our UOI lesson this week, we did our ongoing assessment where the children sorted the pictures of all the teachers at ISN-Shimauchi in their respective rooms. It was good to know that most of our kids knew the teachers and which class they belong to. Well done, Canyon!

In our LOI2, we are discussing “People Around Me,” so we invited a guest speaker to talk and share something about herself. Meet Ms. Serena. She’s one of the homeroom teachers of Savannah class. Everybody enjoyed Ms. Serena’s presentation in the class. She took us to her home country, Singapore. We learned about the national flag of Singapore, how the country looks, how long it takes from Singapore to Japan, and finally, we met her family. Thank you so much for bringing us to your home country, Ms. Serena! Now, everyone is looking forward to visiting Singapore!

In the gym lesson, we played with a beautiful piece of cloth called gorse. The students were fascinated by the beautiful cloth, draping it over their shoulders to make a cape, shaking it with their hands, and rolling it up into a small ball and sending it flying into the air. At the end of the lesson, the students soared the gorse in unison at the command of the gym teacher. Canyon students loved the activities.

When we started planting tomatoes, we always encouraged our youngsters to remember to visit and water them every day as if they were included on their daily to-do lists. It’s nice to see them taking care of their tomatoes. Now they are growing and have flowers. Thank you for being caring, Canyon!

This month, we learned a new song, “Zip A Dee Doo Dah.”

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
