Pre-Kinder and Summer school

-
Oh there was a lot of fun to be had during week 1 of our summer school! We had students from both Pre-Kinder A and Pre-Kinder B come together to get to know each other and have fun. Our theme this week was nature, so we learned about different parts of nature, the first day we learned about different types of flowers and did an activity where we colored, cut and pasted a flower. On tuesday we also had some fun in the pool as it was so hot!



Towards the middle of the week as we were learning about bugs I hid a whole bunch of cut out bugs in the school, on many floors and the students had to go around trying to find all of the bugs. They had a blast being able to get out of the classroom and go to other parts of the school where they normally don't venture off to.





As we learned about animals we made animal cut outs with moving legs and tails!, the students had some difficulty with making them but we got it all done.




Towards the end of the week we made a dessert out of cookie, milk chocolate and white chocolate. We took the cookie, melted the white chocolate and made a house out of it. It turned out really cool. 

 Melting the white chocolate acted as a kind of glue to keep everything together. Once we out it together we put it in the fridge to cool and freeze.



Thats it for summer school week one! Stay tuned for updates!

Kindergarten in the summer

 Boy oh boy, it was a lot of fun seeing familiar faces as well as new faces during summer school. This year we had a lot of help from Alex, a student in Junior high.  We have a K'nex set in the classroom and Alex and a few of the students were able to put together a working carousel out of it! It was really cool. Summer school wouldn't be  summer school without drenching ourselves with water. In this kind of heat we had this year, it was a lot of fun to fill up our water gun tanks and have a blast. Our second week of summer school was built around fairies and fairytales. Both Pre-K and Kindergarten came together to work on making their own castle tower craft. It was a lot of fun throughout the week. I look forward to next year. Thank you to all the kids, especially those that joined us from outside the school. Hope to see you again next year!

Each of them used their favorite colors to color it. On Wednesday, we read “The three bears'' by Byron Barton and did a bear paper craft. They put some clothes on their own bears. On Thursday, we read “The Snow white” in Japanese with Ms.Yuka. We made our own dwarf. It's so cute!! On Friday, we read “The Gingerbread Man” and made our own gingerbread man. We spent our time with Preschool students every morning this week, It was very fun! We also enjoyed Water play. On Friday, we did “Juice bar” with Ms.Aya. We made our own juice. (Using paint to color water and pretend it is a juice.) Strawberry juice, Orange juice, Mango juice, Grapes juice and so on…..looks so good!! We really had a great week!
