Nagano Rainbow – I Love My Family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦  (February 23th-27th)

What a joyful and busy week we had in rainbow Class! We explored the wonderful themes of Family, Music, Gym, and Outdoor Play, and each day was filled with laughter, learning, and lots of movement.

レインボークラスは、なんて楽しくて忙しい一週間だったことでしょう!家族、音楽、体操、野外遊びという素晴らしいテーマを探求し、毎日が笑い声と学び、そしてたくさんの活動で満たされていました。

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Theme

This week, We did an activity that is related to our theme which is about Family. Kids colored their paper houses and placed the special people in their lives inside their little house. Everyone was so fond of the activity as they thought about their home and their loved ones including the pets or their imagined pets. They made sure nobody in the family was left out. Everyone were excited to share who is in their family. We also created their Finger Family during craft time, we did it by tracing their own hand in a paper and then they placed each family member on the right finger. This activity was fun because kids were able to create art out of the this months theme song – Finger Family song.

今週は「家族」をテーマにした活動を行いました。子どもたちは紙の家を色付けし、大切な人たちを小さな家の中に配置しました。ペットや想像上のペットも含め、自分の家や愛する人たちについて考えるこの活動に、みんな夢中になりました。家族の一人も取り残さないよう、皆が気を配っていました。家族構成を共有する様子は皆ワクワクしていました。工作時間には「フィンガーファミリー」も制作。自分の手を紙に写し取り、指ごとに家族を配置しました。今月のテーマソング「フィンガーファミリーソング」に合わせてアート作品が完成する楽しさがありました。

Skills we worked on:

  • Language development
  • Social-emotional awareness
  • Fine motor skills through coloring

🎵 Music & Movement

During music class kids were given the Fruit shaped maracas as the instrument of the day. Everyone loved this cute little instruments. They happily shook the maracas to a beat. We also worked on our listening skills, our music teacher played different sounds and kids had to guess what thing made such sound from a picture book. Music class was such a delight.

ミュージックレッスンで、子どもたちはその日の楽器としてフルーツ型マラカスを受け取りました。みんなこの可愛らしい小さな楽器をとても気に入りました。子どもたちはリズムに合わせて楽しそうにマラカスを振りました。また、聴き取りの練習も行い、音楽の先生が様々な音を鳴らすと、子どもたちは絵本からその音を出しているものを当てるという活動もしました。ミュージックレッスンはとても楽しいものでした。

Skills we worked on:

  • Listening skills
  • Rhythm and coordination
  • Self-expression

🤸 Gym Time

In gym, since it was a rainy day we had it indoors. Everyone got active inside the classroom lots of movement were done.

Gym time helps build strength, balance, and confidence. Everyone showed great effort and teamwork!

ジムレッスンは雨天のため、室内で行われました。教室の中で皆が活発に動き、様々な運動を行いました。

ジムレッスンは体力、バランス感覚、自信を育みます。皆が素晴らしい努力とチームワークを見せてくれました!

🌳 Outdoor Play

We enjoyed plenty of fresh air and sunshine this week! 

Outdoor play included:

  • Running races
  • Exploring nature
  • Playing on the playground
  • Practicing sharing and turn-taking

Outdoor time supports gross motor development and gives children the chance to explore the world around them in hands-on ways.

💬 Looking Ahead

Next week, we will continue building friendships, exploring new songs, and developing our movement skills. Thank you for being such an important part of our preschool family!

来週も引き続き、友情を深め、新しい歌を探求し、運動能力を伸ばしていきます。当園の大切な家族の一員として支えてくださり、ありがとうございます!

Have a wonderful weekend! 🌈
