This week, we continued our inquiry into transportation<\/strong>. We reviewed the features of transportation<\/strong> and discussed the different places we go using transportation<\/strong> in our daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students shared their ideas and demonstrated their understanding using cardboard box transportation<\/strong>. They pretended to travel to places they wanted to go, such as the supermarket, Disneyland, and the park. Through these demonstrations, students showed that they understand transportation helps make our lives more comfortable and convenient<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, moms go to the supermarket to buy food, and because groceries can be heavy, we use transportation to carry them. Going to Disneyland is far and takes a long time, so we use a car or train<\/strong> to travel. Going to the park is also quite a distance, so we take the bus<\/strong> to get there faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After watching their friends\u2019 demonstrations, students were asked to think about places they want to go and how they would get there. They practiced using the sentence structure:
\u201cI go to \/ I went to the __________ by __________.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some examples included:
\u201cI go to the park by bus.\u201d<\/em>

Setsubun<\/strong> is a traditional Japanese event that marks the beginning of spring. On this day, people throw roasted soybeans to chase away bad luck and welcome good fortune. The beans are usually thrown at someone wearing an oni (ogre) mask<\/strong>, while saying a phrase that means \u201cOut with bad luck, in with good luck.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In preparation for the upcoming Setsubun celebration, Ms. Kumi read a story that explained the meaning of Setsubun and why people throw beans during the celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the story, the children made their own ogre mask craft<\/strong>. They chose different colors for the hair and for the lens of the mask. Through cutting, crumpling paper for the hair, and gluing, they developed and strengthened their fine motor skills<\/strong>. Once finished, they proudly put on their masks and looked at themselves, enjoying the experience of becoming an \u201coni\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It snowed last night, and this morning the students arrived at school bursting with excitement, shouting, \u201cI can see the snow outside!\u201d<\/em> They were thrilled at the chance to play in the yard, so before our music lesson, we made time for them to enjoy the snow\u2014even if only for a short while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The children looked so happy as they changed into their snow gear and eagerly got ready to play. They had a blast making snowballs, enjoying a friendly snowball fight, and swinging on the net dusted with snow. Laughter filled the yard as they moved, played, and kept their bodies warm. Most of all, they freely expressed their joy and feelings through outdoor play, making it a truly special winter moment to remember. \u2744\ufe0f\u26c4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring while playing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aurora\u2019s play area has become even more exciting as children learn through play! As part of our IB unit on Transportation<\/strong>, we transformed the space using cardboard vehicles and road signs to spark curiosity and imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students loved putting on driver costumes and stepping into their roles as drivers, passengers, and traffic helpers. We invited them to share their ideas on how to play and discussed what different road signs mean, encouraging them to think, ask questions, and express their opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this hands-on experience, learning felt natural and fun. The children practiced communication, cooperation, and problem-solving while connecting their play to real-life situations they see every day\ud83d\udea6\ud83d\ude97\u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gym Day Fun!<\/strong>
The students kept their bodies warm and their energy high by running around, chasing friends, and enjoying activities together. Laughter and excitement filled the gym as they moved, played, and practiced teamwork with their friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
