Hello, everyone!

What a fun week it’s been in our Milky Way class— we went to see cherry blossoms and played freely at the park.

UOI

We started our UOI discussion with a question: “What is teamwork?” To discuss this topic, we separated the compound word “teamwork” and defined both words separately. For us, team means “us”, “everyone”, and “kids”. Work means “with friends” and “do something”. Then we put these words together to “teamwork” and defined it as “everyone is doing something together”, and “doing something faster because more hands are better than 1.

We also watched a read-aloud story from YouTube titled The Little Red Hen. We were tasked to see and think whether the characters in the story had teamwork.

For this unit, we are going to learn to work together to achieve a common goal.

We’ve officially resumed our dance, swimming, and music lessons for the school year, and the joy was absolutely contagious

Dance Lesson

Our dance lesson has started! We met our teacher and reviewed the dances that we did in our Shooting Star class last year. We then continued learning more steps for the “Let’s Play” dance. And of course, it’s always fun to end the lesson with the playground parachute!

Swimming Lesson

We resumed our swimming lesson this week and met our teachers again after the break. This time we are off to new challenges in swimming. We are ready to take on the challenges!

Music Lesson

For our first piece this year, we are going to play Bun Bun Bun, a Japanese nursery song that is about a bee flying around. We are playing with our melodion.

Have a great weekend!
