This week was full of exciting and memorable moments in our classroom! During morning circle time, we had a shocking visitor, a monster! \ud83d\ude31\ud83d\udc79 But don\u2019t worry, our brave little friends were ready. Together, we stood strong, used our super courage, and chased the beast right out of the classroom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part? No tears at all, only big smiles, laughter, and lots of proud faces. Our little fighters showed just how brave and confident they are, and we couldn\u2019t be prouder of them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also had an amazing time playing at the park this week with our Shooting Stars friends! The highlight? Definitely the mud! Splish, splash, squelch! Our little explorers had the best time digging, jumping, and getting wonderfully messy. \ud83d\ude04 And yes\u2026 apologies for the shoes, boots, and pants; they came back with a stylish new \u201cmud makeover.\u201d \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffb But it was all part of the fun, the laughter, and the joy of learning through play!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our dance lesson this week was extra special because we shared it with our Shooting Stars friends! Watching them dance so gracefully was truly inspiring; it made us want to try even harder and give our best moves on the floor. We laughed, we learned, and we followed the steps with big smiles, turning our dance time into a joyful and memorable experience! \ud83d\udc83\ud83d\udd7a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For our Unit of Inquiry, we had a super fun \u201cI Spy and Count\u201d<\/strong> group activity! Working in teams, we carefully looked for different pictures, counted what we found, and shared ideas with our friends. It was wonderful to see everyone cooperating, taking turns, and helping one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also practiced sorting safety road pictures, learning more about how rules help keep us safe when we travel. \ud83d\udea6\ud83d\udeb8 Through teamwork, thinking, and lots of smiles, we turned learning into a fun and meaningful experience! The highlight of our Unit of Inquiry<\/em> activities was the Red Light, Green Light<\/strong> game! \ud83d\udea6 It was our very first time playing this game, and wow! What an exciting experience! We listened carefully, moved quickly, and practiced stopping and going at the right time, all while having so much fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our classroom were full of laughter, energy, and big smiles, and by the end of the game, everyone was already asking to play it again. We\u2019re definitely looking forward to more rounds of this super fun and exciting game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next week, we will begin practicing writing numbers and working on forming letters in our names and the alphabet. We will focus on writing from left to right<\/strong> and from top to bottom<\/strong>, which helps build good writing habits early on. \u270f\ufe0f\ud83d\udcd6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some students are still getting used to this and may sometimes start in the opposite direction, which is perfectly normal at this stage. Your support and practice at home will be a big help and very much appreciated. Thank you for working together with us to support the children\u2019s learning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your time and see you again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a wonderful weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":303834,"template":"","nagano-category":[40,163],"class_list":["post-303782","nagano-campus","type-nagano-campus","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","nagano-category-nagano-preschool","nagano-category-aurora-nagano","en-US"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
