Congratulations, Rainforest, on your graduation! We are incredibly proud of the growth, learning, and wonderful memories you have created during your time at ISN. Throughout the year, you showed curiosity, kindness, and determination in everything you did. It has been a joy to watch you learn, play, and grow together as a class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you begin your journey in elementary school, always remember the special moments and valuable lessons you experienced here. We wish you continued success, happiness, and many exciting adventures ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As this will be our final class blog for the school year, we would also like to take a moment to thank all the families for your constant support, trust, and partnership. Your encouragement has played a big part in the children\u2019s growth and confidence. Together, we created a warm and nurturing environment where every child felt valued and inspired to do their best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking back, this year has been filled with laughter, discoveries, friendships, and meaningful milestones. From learning new skills to celebrating special events, each moment has helped shape the wonderful individuals you are becoming. We will truly miss our time together, but we are also excited to see you spread your wings and shine in your new classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are very proud of you! Once a member of the Rainforest Class, always a part of our learning family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RAINFOREST SCHOOL YEAR END PARTY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week was our final week spending time together with the Rainforest class. To create one last special memory, we went on a picnic to Alps Park. The mountain paths that used to be challenging when they were younger are now easy for the Rainforest children\u2014they climbed them with such confidence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They had a wonderful time playing tag in the open field, searching for acorns, climbing on the big dinosaur, and enjoying the playground equipment. Before we knew it, it was already snack time. Everyone spread out their picnic sheets and enjoyed their snacks together happily. After hearing that there were two mischievous crows that might try to take their food, the children did their best to protect their snacks\u2014shouting \u201cCaw! Caw!\u201d to scare them away and carefully hiding their snack bags under everyone\u2019s backpacks. Thanks to their wonderful teamwork, everyone\u2019s snacks stayed safe! It was another lovely memory added to our time together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the day, Ms. Aiza and Ms. Shizuka gave each child a message card. The cards come with a pencil that they can use even after they start elementary school. Since the Rainforest children love drawing, writing, and expressing their thoughts, we would be very happy if they continue to use them \u2661<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLOSING OUR CLASSROOM CHAPTER WITH GRATITUDE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, the children also gave cards they had made with heartfelt appreciation to the teachers and staff who have supported them. In return, they received messages from the teachers as well, which made the Rainforest children feel very proud and special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also carefully cleaned their lockers, desks, and chairs that they have used throughout the year, preparing them for the next Rainforest class. From organizing their belongings to wiping everything down with cloths and sponges, they worked very efficiently. It was truly wonderful to see how capable and dependable they have become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
