On Monday, all the classes went to the gym to watch a circus performance. The ISN students were fascinated by the amazing tricks and performances, including ball juggling, bicycle tricks, and other exciting circus acts. They were especially amazed when one of the performers used stilts to make his legs look incredibly long, making him appear very tall! Everyone had a wonderful time watching the performers and enjoying this special experience together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We reviewed CVC words through videos and fun guessing games. The children also practiced writing CVC words by listening carefully to the sounds in each word, identifying the letters that matched those sounds, and writing the words on the board. They showed their growing confidence in recognizing sounds and letters, demonstrating their skills as Knowledgeable learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In UOI, the Savanna students worked in groups to organize and share what they had discovered about different Japanese celebrations: Setsubun, Tanabata, Hinamatsuri, and Obon. Each group chose a celebration to research. Using books as their resources, the children looked for information, drew pictures of what they discovered, and prepared a group presentation. With a little support from the teacher, they thought about what they wanted to share and prepared their own lines. They proudly presented their findings in front of their classmates, showing excitement and confidence. Through this activity, the children deepened their understanding of the celebrations they researched and continued developing their knowledge as Knowledgeable learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, we enjoyed our much-awaited Autumn Bus Trip! Our first stop was the Matsumoto City Museum, where the children explored exhibits related to Japanese celebrations. They saw different cultural items, including samurai helmets (kabuto) for Children’s Day and Hina dolls for Hinamatsuri. They also had fun playing in the museum’s play area! Afterward, we headed to Agatanomori Park, where we enjoyed a lovely autumn walk, admired the beautiful autumn trees, and the ducks and carp swimming in the pond. The children also had a great time playing on the playground equipment. Of course, no bus trip would be complete without a picnic! Everyone enjoyed their delicious obento (lunch boxes), lovingly prepared by their parents. It was a wonderful day filled with new discoveries, outdoor adventures, laughter, and happy memories together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
