Hello Everyone!
The weather and the temperature nowadays is so unpredictable that it almost seemed like, its gone winter one day then autumn the next. Hope everyone’s keeping healthy and strong with the sudden shifts this season brings.
This week was yet again packed with fun activities, kids were busy the whole week from halloween preparations, outdoor play time, walks around the neighborhood, birthday celebration, our usual gym and music class and the highlight of the week is the Puppet Show that we watched at school.
Halloween 🎃 👻
It’s days away ’til halloween party. I asked the kids what costume will they wear on halloween day? Some sort of have an idea, most of them are clueless (hehehe so cute) then there’s also a few who fought over the topic of halloween costume, one student said she will come as a princess then the other said I will be a princess too but the other one said your a boy you can’t be a princess. Kids like to copy each other, be like their friends so much so that they forgot their limitations and they also most of the time don’t understand things. Thankfully with the help of the teacher things got resolved and they calmed down. (I call this funny learning moments)
This week kids made some Halloween craft. They made the scariest spider ever! We are done with our pumpkin 🎃 piñata and we practiced our dance daily. I guess we are halloween ready. I Hope you guys are too?!
Linking here the video of the Halloween Dance, Hope you get to enjoy it at home with the kids. Hope the kids can teach you some Halloween Dance moves.
Puppet Show 🎭🎪
This week’s highlight – The Puppet Show. Actors, puppeteers and cute puppets came to school. Everyone gathered and watched a wonderful show about ‘おむすびころりん’. I heard that its a popular classic Japanese story for kids. The whole production was very lively and fun from start to finish. Kids can’t help but be mesmerized with the show, they were so focused, they giggled, laughed and they loved the cute puppets. Teachers were quick to remind the kids about the important lessons that we learned. Do you want to be the grumpy old man? or the kind old man? It was such a delight to have special guests come to school and perform this special and classic performance art to kids. With technology dominating our daily lives, it’s nice to showcase the ‘OG’ or old school way of doing things, that is also still very cool, still relevant and still very captivating for both young and old.
Outside Free Play 🍄🌿
Some updates on our daily outdoor adventures. This week, as I’ve previously mentioned, weathers been unpredictable but it never stops us from going out and have our daily walks and our free play outside. Kids are getting used to walking that they look froward to it, they don’t complain, they can endure more walking, they built some strength and stamina, that come nap time we are wondering why are they not spent or tired yet (hehehe). We all love going to the park, on the way there, there’s none stop chatter of things they discover along the way. Everyones so cute and curious, we love our walks and our park free play, we can see and feel the satisfaction the kids have coming back to school. They get tired but they are calmed down after all the outdoor fun, after that they get to enjoy their lunch more.
Gym Lesson – Lots of active, fun exercise and play
Music Lesson – We played with the ball and practiced using the castanets.
That’s it for this week. Thank you for your time. Have a restful, comfy weekend.
