“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” -Benjamin Franklin

In our UOI lesson this week, our youngsters made very yummy ice cream from cow’s milk! We asked them to pour the ingredients into a ziplock bag and mix them well. Then, they put the ice cream in another big ziplock bag with ice cubes and salt and shook it well to freeze it. And they did it! They really enjoyed this activity a lot! Everybody was so excited to eat it, and finally, during the afternoon snack, we had a very fun ice cream party!

In our phonics and writing lesson, we learned about the letter K, its sound, and some words that begin with it, such as kangaroo, king, key, kiwi, kettle, and kite. For our activity, the students looked for the letter K around the classroom and in the books.

Summer is almost over, so our little ones are enjoying the last days to play in the mud. They love making things out of it, like chocolate cake, drinks, and cookies. They also had fun jumping in the puddles.

Music class

In Music class, our little ones started playing bells this week. They hold the bell with their left hand and tap their left wrist with their right hand to make the sound. They have practiced rhythm hitting by clapping their hands many times, so they were able to quickly apply it with the bell.

Safety First!

This week, we conducted an earthquake drill where we invited some firefighters from Nagisa Fire Station to explain the things we need to do when an earthquake occurs and when a fire starts because of the earthquake, such as the following:  

– Do not push your friends.  

– Do not run.  

– Do not talk.  

– Do not come back.  

– Cover your mouth.

They also taught us the proper way to use a fire extinguisher, and teachers demonstrated to the children how to put out the fire.

Everybody did a great job of following the rules.

Have a wonderful long weekend, everyone!
