Hello Everyone!

This First week of December, we’ve experienced the First snowfall this winter season, it’s cold yet magical at the same time. During our morning circle I ask the kids, How’s the weather? Everyone excitedly said… It’s Snowy Today! Also we have the Christmas Tree up, we started making some Christmas craft too, truly Christmas is just around the corner. 

12月の最初の週、今冬初めての雪が降りました。寒さの中にも魔法のような美しさがあります。朝のサークルタイムで子どもたちに「今日はどんな天気？」と尋ねると、みんな興奮して「今日は雪が降ってるよ！」と答えました。クリスマスツリーも飾り付け、クリスマス工作も始めました。クリスマスが本当に間近に迫っているのです。

This week was a busy one, Kids have been practicing for the Christmas Show coming soon. We had an introduction of the new monthly theme which is about clothes. Kids are learning new songs related to the theme and the Christmas season, I will link it down below. We of course, still go out whenever possible, kids enjoyed our outdoor play in the park, we got some active play and exercise both during gym time and during our indoor play when it snowed that we couldn’t go to outdoors. It was a week filled with fun learning and playing with friends.

今週は忙しい一週間でした。子どもたちは間もなく開催されるクリスマスショーに向けて練習を重ねています。今月の新テーマ「服」の導入もしました。子どもたちはテーマやクリスマスシーズンにまつわる新曲を学んでいます。詳細は下記リンクをご参照ください。もちろん可能な限り外出も続けており、公園での屋外遊びを楽しみました。ジムタイムや雪で外に出られなかった室内遊びの時間にも、活発な遊びや運動を取り入れました。友達と一緒に学び遊びに満ちた楽しい一週間でした。

 I just want to share how awesome the kids have been doing in class recently, I’m just surprised and amazed how everyone has grown. They’ve been easy to manage, meaning they can listen and follow well in class that we can smoothly move on to another activity and kids can do more in a day. They are more cooperative, enthusiastic and confident in playing, socializing and learning time. They like doing crafts independently, they can do more physically like jumping higher, they’ve been moving more, dancing and challenging themselves, they like helping in the classroom and they like to assume leadership roles, whether its being a snack helper, line leader, cleaning up toys and more. They’ve been inspiring and influencing each other in a good way. They’ve been inspiring us the teachers too. I’m not saying it’s perfect but It’s an awesome improvement and growth. 

Thank you for reading our blog this week and Have an amazing long weekend.
