We have entered December and the kids are already waiting for the man in red to bring them some presents!

Some of the children talk about wanting to see a reindeer and some talk about wanting to eat their favorite food.

Some have not even seen snow for the first time yet so here’s hoping they get a chance to this year!
Until then, they get to enjoy the autumn leaves a just little longer. - Gary

こんにちは！ビクトリアインターナショナルスクール総務のKです！

１２月に入ってぐっと寒くなってきましたね。
でも子供達は寒さも何のその。いいお天気の日に公園でたくさん遊びました。

この日は公園内のすべり台で、上ってはすべりで楽しんだり、土の上のありさんを探したりと
都会だけれど自然にふれながら、たくさんお日様の光を浴びてきました。

公園では、子供たちの個々の成長や個性が良く分かります。

遊び始めは怖くて一人ではすべれなかったH君は、一度エイッとすべって先生に思い切り褒められたら
とても嬉しそうににっこり！そのあとは一人でもどんどんすべっていました。

一生懸命、土の上を観察していたE君。ありさんをみつけたと先生に教えてくれました。
他のお友達もE君につられて土の観察会が始まっていましたよ。

ベイビーたちは先生とすべったり、ひたすらお散歩したりと思い思いに過ごしていました。

冬の公園も子供達と過ごすといろいろな発見がありとても楽しかったです！
私は事務作業で屋内での仕事が多いのですが、また一緒に公園へ行って子供達と体を温めたいと思います。

動画サイトでもこの日を様子をアップしました。
どうぞご覧くださいませ。

ではではsee you soon!

Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a great weekend.

In kindergarten, we love books!  Each month we read lots of books and enjoy special ones centered around our monthly theme. ⭐️

One of our favorite new books this year was called, “Turkey Trouble.”  This is a funny story about a turkey who uses clever disguises so he doesn’t end up on the Thanksgiving menu.  He dresses up like several farm animals and even a pizza delivery guy!  It’s such a cute story and the students made a cute turkey in disguise craft to go along with it.  Our k3 class did a writing activity about which disguise they liked the best.  I wonder what story we will read next!

Have a great day! ~Starr ♡

Hello everyone!  In America we celebrate a holiday called Thanksgiving.  It’s a time for coming together with family and friends and being thankful for our many blessings.  We are so thankful for our wonderful kindergarten students and wanted to share this tradition with them.

For our lunch we had a real turkey, cornbread, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie!  The kids loved whipping up the whip cream and it was a favorite of many. 😉  We were so happy that the kids enjoyed trying new things.

We had a lovely time.  What are some things you are thankful for?

Have a great start of the new week! ~Starr♡

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!  It’s finally December and we are super excited for Christmas here in Kinder!  But before we get into Christmas things I would like to share with you some of what we got up to in kindergarten last month.

We made several cute crafts last month, but one of the favorites was the Thankful Turkeys!  Our students love to get their hands into paint.

The turkeys were so adorable! See you next time~  Starr♡

The theme of this month is “Body Parts” and the children are excellent at remembering the name and where their body parts are!

During craft time they would color in the body parts and after we cut them out and glue them together to make a whole body!

For park days the newly grown green grass is a lot of fun for them to roll around in. Unfortunately it closed down for maintenance so instead the children get to play at the slides so win-win! - Gary
