Word of the month is… “I’m sorry”

Two gigantic Children’s Day carps are swimming in the sky. Children are excited and looking at them with cheer. Graceful afternoon time.
Small sunflower seeds are popping up. Children send their cheers “Please grow up quickly!” We are very excited for those sunflowers to grow. We also started to prepare for our summer crops. We are planning to plant a lot of vegetables. We have a lot of events like “Children’s’ Day”, “Mothers’ Day”, and “Sports Day”. We are hoping to have fun together and build our children’s self-confidence through these events and make wonderful memories.

Songs of the Month

The music sheets are available next to the attendant sheet on the desk. We practice many songs, especially this month. I invite you to learn the songs such as the school song and Undokai song and enjoy singing them with your children. Also, starting this year we sing “washing hands” song and “clean up” song everyday. How about singing those songs at home when you wash your hands and clean the rooms?

Goals of this month

- Celebrate Children’s Day while enjoying kamishibai (picture-card show), listening to some stories and eating kashiwamochi (rice cake wrapped in an oak leaf)
- Make presents in thanks for their mothers and celebrate Mother’s Day
- Have interests in and look at books about plants, crops in the vegetable field, little animals and bugs.
- Exercise well to get ready for Undokai. Enjoy Undokai together with families and friends.

Thank you, Moms!
