With only two weeks left before graduation, the Milky Way class is filled with excitement and anticipation! Our students have been practicing each day diligently, preparing something truly special for their big moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From rehearsing their songs to perfecting their movements and timing, everyone has been working hard and showing wonderful focus and teamwork. It has been heartwarming to see their confidence grow as they support one another and take pride in their progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the countdown continues, we can feel both joy and a touch of nostalgia in the air. We are so proud of how far our Milky Way students have come, and we cannot wait to celebrate this meaningful milestone together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rainy Day Art \u2013 Finding Joy in the Rain \u2614\ud83c\udfa8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a rainy day this week, the Milky Way class turned the gray skies into colorful inspiration! As the rain gently fell outside, we explored painting with the theme: \u201cWhat makes me happy when it rains?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The children shared wonderful ideas\u2014watching frogs in a pond, watching paper boats float in a stream, staying cozy inside, and seeing rainbows after the storm. Through their artwork, they expressed their feelings using different shades of blue, soft brush strokes for falling rain, and vibrant colors to show happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was beautiful to see how the children transformed a rainy day into a moment of creativity and reflection. Even when the weather is gloomy, we can always find something that brings us joy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoying the Warm Weather \u2600\ufe0f<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The temperature has started to get warmer, and we have been making the most of our time outdoors! The children happily ran around, chasing one another with big smiles and laughter filling the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During our outdoor time, we also stopped to say hello to Nobi Nobu Kun<\/strong>, the plant we lovingly planted in our outdoor planter. The children were excited to check on its growth and observe the small changes each day. It has been wonderful to see their energy, curiosity, and care for living things as we welcome the new season together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
