First Rehearsal at the Nagano City Arts Center<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our excitement continues to build as we officially held our very first rehearsal at the Nagano City Arts Center\u2014the very stage where our Christmas Show will come to life! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the rehearsal, the children were able to experience how big the stage really is and began learning how to move confidently across it. They practiced their positions, entrances, and exits, getting a real feel for how the performance will flow on the big day. It was an important step in helping them feel comfortable and confident in the actual venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With less than a month to go before our Christmas Show, the countdown is officially on! The students are working hard each day, practicing their lines, songs, and movements with growing focus and enthusiasm. Their effort, determination, and teamwork are already shining through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are so proud of how well everyone did during this first rehearsal, and we can\u2019t wait to see their progress over the coming weeks. The excitement is in the air, and the magic of Christmas is truly beginning to unfold! \ud83c\udf84\u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Week of Wonderful Puppet Shows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our classroom has been buzzing with creativity and excitement as the children became completely hooked on putting on their very own puppet shows for their friends! What started as a simple craft activity quickly turned into a daily highlight that everyone eagerly looked forward to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each day featured a different theme inspired by the children\u2019s favorite characters. We enjoyed original puppet shows starring Pok\u00e9mon, Precure, Sumikko Gurashi, and many more beloved characters. The children carefully colored their chosen characters, attached sticks to the back of the paper, and\u2014voil\u00e0!<\/em>\u2014their puppets were ready for the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin the show, the children flipped the tables down, hid behind them, and prepared their \u201cstage.\u201d Their classmates gathered quietly in front, excited and ready to watch. With bright smiles and lively voices, the young performers presented their own original stories, full of imagination, humor, and teamwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These puppet shows have been a beautiful way for the children to express themselves, build confidence, and share their ideas with others. It has been wonderful to see how proud they are of their creations and how supportive they are as an audience for their friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can\u2019t wait to see what creative performances come next! \ud83c\udfad\u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n
