Welcome to our first blog of March! As our days together become fewer, we have been receiving invitations for playdates from our little sisters and brothers. This week, Aurora came to visit and played the musical chair and a “whistle blows” counting game with us. The children listened carefully to the number of whistle blows and then held hands in groups to match that number. Everyone had so much fun!Aurora also sang a song for the Milky Way class, telling them how much they love them. It was truly a special day.

For our phonics lesson, we were introduced to the “kn” blend. The students added ,”knife,knee,knot,knight, kneel,know and knowledge” to their vocabulary bank.

Last Friday, we started our final big craft as Milky Way students. We have been making this craft since Nursery, but doing it for the last time at ISN made it extra special. It had many steps and needed careful thinking and good fine motor skills. The craft is for Hinamatsuri, or Girl’s Day, which is celebrated on March 3rd. On this day, families in Japan celebrate girls and wish for them to grow up healthy and happy. They display beautiful hina dolls dressed like an emperor and empress from long ago. The dolls wear colorful kimonos and sit on a red carpet with other small royal figures.Some families enjoy special treats, and the colors pink, white, and green are important for this holiday. Hinamatsuri is a joyful celebration filled with love and beautiful decorations.🌸

With only a few days left until graduation day, it’s not an exaggeration to say that different kinds of emotions are swirling all around us;mostly joy and anticipation. We are excited about what lies ahead and happy to enjoy one last special event with our classmates. Our first rehearsal was a big eye-opener. It was great for everyone to see how they will move on stage and understand how important their voices will be during the event. Over the next few days, we will focus on the main areas that need improvement and hope to close this preschool chapter with elegance and style, shining like the true gems we are.

~The week ahead~

Graduation practice, more graduation practice, and even more!Plus heartfelt farewells.🥰
