Hello everyone,

We have another fun week here in Meadow class and we can see smiles on kid’s faces. They are getting familiar with the routine we do every day.

This week, we went for a walk close to school. We went with the Rainbow class and enjoyed the cool breeze outside. Everyone held the rope and followed the friends in front of them. We enjoyed spring and saw a lot of different flowers on our way. The children say their colors like red, pink, orange, and purple! It was quite tiring for our little ones but they tried their best walking back to school. You did it, Meadow!

今週もメドークラスは楽しい一週間を過ごしました！少しずつ少しずつ、園での一日に慣れてきた子ども達。来月のバストリップに向け、お散歩の練習をしました。レインボークラスと一緒にお散歩ロープに掴まり、春の空気を満喫します。赤、ピンク、オレンジ、紫など色とりどりの花を見つけながら、一生懸命歩きました。やったね、メドー！

We had our first craft activity and the kids were curious about what it is like. We made Easter eggs with a chick inside. We took the children’s handprints to make the chick’s wings. It was the first time for the kids to paint their hands but most of them loved it, and some were hesitant but later on they were convinced to have their hands painted.

初めてのクラフト活動では、中にひよこを入れたイースターエッグを作りました。準備された絵の具や筆、画用紙に興味津々の子ども達！絵の具を手のひらに塗り、ぺたん！と画用紙に手形をとってひよこの羽を作りました。冷たい絵の具やくすぐったい筆の感触に、どの子も笑顔があふれます。最初は躊躇していた子も、やってみると楽しくて、もう一度やって！と再び椅子に座りに来るほどでしたよ。

Gym lesson.

This is the second week we had our gym lesson. Kids had an idea of ​​what we were going to do. They had fun stretching and running in every corner of the gym. They were able to release their stress and breathe. Take a look at how energetic they were.

2週目のジムレッスン。広い体育館に入ると、何をして遊べるのかな！とわくわくが止まりません。ストレッチしたり、体育館の隅々まで走って思い切り体を動かしてきました。気持ちをリフレッシュさせ、手足の動かし方を学び、呼吸を整えることができたようです。子どもたちの元気な姿をご覧ください。

Daily routine

When the children arrive at school, we assist the students in unpacking their stuff and putting them in the designated basket. Kids tried their best and got used to doing their tasks. Before eating we are training the children to make a line and listen to the teachers’ instruction. Kids chose their favorite color stepped on it and waited until everybody got ready to go. They looked so cute while raising their hands and saying “Let’s go!”. Before eating lunch, we remind the kids to be thankful for the food they eat. They imitated the teacher their hands together and saying “Itadakimasu, thank you for the food. Kids enjoy the food being served at lunch and afternoon snacks.

子どもたちは登園すると、リュックから水筒やエプロンを出し、それぞれのカゴに自分で入れます。先生と一緒に一生懸命に自分の仕事をこなし、朝の支度も少しずつ身についてきました。部屋を出る時には、列を作って並んで行く練習もしています。「Make a line」の掛け声でドアの前にあるカラフルな足形に並び、みんなの準備が整うのを待ちます。手を挙げて「Let’s go!！」と声をかける姿がとてもかわいんです！ランチを食べる前には、手を合わせて「いただきます、thank you for the food」と先生の真似をしながら揃って挨拶をし、感謝の気持ちを伝えます。

Our morning circle is getting fun. Kids remembered the songs gradually and were able to sing the songs together. We stuck the different colors on the floor and the children chose their favorite one and sat on it. Kids told us their feelings by picking the flashcard and saying “I’m happy!” ” I’m sad!” and showed us their facial expression.

朝のサークルタイムも楽しんでいます！子ども達は少しずつ歌を覚え、一緒に歌ったり、リズムに合わせ手をたたいたりするようになりました。今月のテーマ「color」にちなみ床に貼ってあるカラフルな丸いカードから、好きな色を選んでその上に座り、今日は嬉しい気分！悲しい気分！と、自分の気持ちを選ぶアクティビティも楽しんでいます。

We had fun color activities this week. We looked around the classroom and the children spied the colors they saw and said what color it was.

今週は楽しいカラー・アクティビティをたくさん行いました。教室を見回して、自分が知っている様々な色を見つけ、それが何色かを言って楽しんでいます。

Music lesson

Kids got a little familiar with the songs we were singing. Please have a glance at how they enjoy the lesson.

ミュージックレッスンでは、みんな私たちが歌う歌に少し慣れてきました。今月は、あいあい、ぞうさん、おはながわらった、ころころたまご、いとまき、こぶたぬきつねこ、などを歌っています。
