Greetings, everyone! Welcome to this week’s highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had our last Open Day of the school year, and it was truly a memorable one. The Rainforest students proudly showed their parents how much they have grown since the beginning of the school year. They confidently demonstrated their learning by saying the months and days of the week in different languages. They also showed their growth in speaking English by presenting their baby pictures in front of everyone. They shared how old they were in the photos, talked about the things they couldn\u2019t do when they were babies, and explained the many things they can do now as growing, independent children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have all come so far, Rainforest! We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you. I\u2019m sure your parents felt so happy and proud of your growth\u2014just as we, your teachers, do. Keep believing in yourselves and continue doing great things. This is only the beginning of your amazing journey!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also had our Tennis Open Day, where the Rainforest class proudly showcased their talents in playing tennis. The students enjoyed every activity and gave their very best in learning and playing the sport. From the very beginning, they have shown great determination to hit the ball properly and score a goal. It was wonderful to see their teamwork and perseverance throughout the event. Great job, everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To all the parents, congratulations\u2014we made it this far together! Time flies so fast, doesn\u2019t it? It\u2019s almost the end of the school year. Thank you for your patience, dedication, and constant support in helping your children learn at home. Thank you as well for always showing up and participating in our various school activities. Your partnership, encouragement, and trust mean so much to us. We truly appreciate each and every one of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our main events this week was our visit to Tsukama Elementary School, where the Rainforest class had the opportunity to observe a Japanese lesson. The students learned the proper way to present in front of everyone by watching how the elementary students stood nicely, spoke with a clear voice, held their papers properly, and avoided leaning while speaking. They also had the chance to discuss and share what they have learned throughout the school year. During the visit, the students made a craft called Byun Byun Goma and enjoyed asking thoughtful questions such as: \u201cHow old were you when you entered elementary school?\u201d, \u201cHow old are you now?\u201d, \u201cWhy do you have a pool in winter?\u201d, \u201cHow do you color neatly on the top?\u201d, and \u201cHow do you make a Byun Byun Goma?\u201d It was a meaningful and enriching experience for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
