今週はあっという間に過ぎ、気づけばまた金曜日。みんなそれぞれに忙しい一週間でした。ハロウィンのダンス練習、トリックオアトリートの袋作り、今月のテーマ「比較と対比」の紹介、外遊びの確保、ジムレッスン、ミュージックレッスンなど盛りだくさん。はあ！小さな子たちは今週、働き蜂のように一生懸命頑張りました。
Monthly Theme – Comparison
This week we had an introduction of our new monthly theme which is about comparison. Kids are learning about things that are opposite like big elephant, small mouse and more. During one of our walks outside, on our way to the park we passed by an on going construction site. There we saw big machines that made loud noises, kids were quick to point out that the sound was too loud, then after passing the construction site it became quiet again. Kids can tell loud and quiet by observing our surroundings and experiencing it in real life. This are just some ways we can learn about our new theme. There are a lot of things that we can observe and compare. This coming week we will explore more and do lots of activities that will help the kids learn more with regards to are theme.
今週は新しい月間テーマ「比較」の導入を行いました。子どもたちは大きな象と小さなネズミなど、対照的なものについて学んでいます。公園へ向かう散歩中、工事中の現場を通りかかりました。大きな機械が大きな音を立てており、子どもたちはすぐに「音がうるさい」と指摘しました。現場を過ぎると再び静かになりました。子どもたちは周囲を観察し、実生活で体験することで「うるさい」と「静か」を区別できます。これらは新しいテーマを学ぶ方法の一例に過ぎません。観察し比較できるものは数多く存在します。来週はさらに探求を深め、テーマに沿った学びを促進する様々な活動を行います。

Halloween
We are busy preparing for an upcoming big event this month of October and that is Halloween of course🎃👻. We are so excited for Halloween that everyday kids are hard at work in practicing the Halloween Dance. They are also busy preparing and making things we need for the event. We already made our Trick or Treat bag. We painted it orange then added some eyes and a mouth to make a Jack-O-Lantern treat bag. Then we personalized it by putting their names on it. While making the bag, we challenged the kids by asking them what is the beginning letter of their names then they had to look for it among the names that were placed on the table. Amazingly most of them could tell the beginning letter of their names. They could also somehow recognize the other letters that form their name or how it’s spelled out. Some of them knows their peers names too. WOW!
今月10月の大きなイベント、もちろんハロウィン🎃👻の準備で忙しい毎日です。ハロウィンが待ちきれず、子どもたちは毎日ハロウィンダンスの練習に励んでいます。イベントに必要なものの準備や手作りにも大忙し。トリックオアトリート用のバッグはもう完成。オレンジ色に塗って目と口を描き、ジャック・オ・ランタンのバッグに仕上げました。さらに、各自の名前を書き加えて自分だけのバッグに仕上げました。バッグ作りでは、子どもたちに「自分の名前の最初の文字は何？」と問いかけ、テーブルに並べられた名前の文字の中から探させるという挑戦を課しました。驚くべきことに、ほとんどの子どもが自分の名前の最初の文字を答えられました。また、自分の名前を構成する他の文字や綴りを何となく認識できる子もいました。仲間の名前を知っている子も何人かいました。すごいですね！
Next on the list we will make a Piñata. We are counting the days til its halloween day. Have you picked out the kids Halloween costumes yet? How about your Halloween costumes?
次に作るものはピニャータです。ハロウィンの日が待ち遠しくて、毎日数えています。お子さんのハロウィン衣装はもう選びましたか？ご自身の衣装はどうですか？
Outside Free Play
In Rainbow, we love our outside walks and free play time at the park, so much so that we make sure we do get to go everyday and we get to spend enough time outdoors. These little ones need to strengthen their bodies more, burn their energy and enjoy the nature. And being outside and playing in the park, tick all the boxes, spending some time outdoors is so beneficial to their overall well being, they to get to burn their energy, they get to eat well and sleep well during nap time plus everyone always have a blast when we go play outside.
レインボーの子どもたちは、公園での散歩や自由遊びが大好きです。毎日必ず行き、十分な時間を屋外で過ごせるようにしています。小さな子どもたちは体をもっと強くし、エネルギーを発散させ、自然を楽しむ必要があるのです。公園で外遊びをすることは、まさに理想的な環境です。屋外で過ごす時間は彼らの全体的な健康に非常に有益で、エネルギーを発散させ、お昼寝時間にはよく食べよく眠れるようになります。それに、外遊びに行くときはいつもみんなが本当に楽しんでいます。
Thank you for reading our blog this week. Have a restful weekend.
