This month’s Sapphires’ theme is my body. The students have been learning about the different parts of their body and movement with their body. We have been learning body themed songs, and doing activities such as beading which help develop their fine motor skills. This month we will also be doing several activities that utilize their 5 senses. The students are enjoying learning the English vocabulary about tasting and listening through the senses’ activities.
The Elementary monthly theme this month is Insects and Arachnids. Insects and spiders just happen to be my (Norito’s) worst fear, so I can sympathize with how some of our students shudder a bit, but to my surprise most of them seemed interested. We’ll be making mobile crafts, booklets and learning what all these creatures are called in English.
We’re here at LK after the golden week, and some of our kids were tearfully reluctant to part with their mothers, while others came as casually as if they were here yesterday lol
Up until last month, our primary goal with the Pre sapphires has been to support them as they grew accustomed to our environment. Starting this month, we’ve been doing some literacy and math、even though it’s mostly centered around songs and listening exercises. This month’s theme is “Colors and Shapes” Walking around the classroom looking for various colors, singing “Colors of the rainbow” color ball sorting, they’ve been having lots of fun!
Even though they’re too young to understand the concept of some of our activities, they’re still trying their best and it warms our hearts
大型連休が明け、ちょっぴり涙を見せながらお母さんと朝のお別れを惜しむ子が居る中、いつもと変わらずの笑顔で登園してくるお友達も居ました。 さて、先月までは環境に慣れる事が目標だったのですが、今月からはリテラシーや数字のお勉強も始まってきました。 お勉強と言っても耳や目から情報を得る事が最初の目標なので、お歌や絵本などが中心の時間になります。 そして今月のテーマは「色と形」です。身の回りの色を探したり、I can see a rainbowの歌を歌いながら箱の中から色を取り出してみたりと 子どもたちも楽しそうです。まだコンセプトが理解できていないので本来の目的と違うことも多々ありますが、これこそプレ！！！ そんな姿も可愛らしく思う先生たちです。

Starting from April we’ve been spending a lot of time walking in the backyard of the university nearby.
Running along the grass, picking flowers…it’s really amazing how children can have fun with just about anything.
It’s started to become that time of the year where children sweat the most, so we’ll all make sure to stay hydrated at Lucky Kids
The Dazzling Rubies have been singing phonics songs for quite some time now, but nowadays their progress is really showing – most of them are familiar with the basic sounds of each alphabet now, so it’s only a matter of time before we start blending sounds to make words. We’re really proud of the continuous effort the kids have been putting in. Even if it’s something as simple as singing the same song every time they’re here, it’s because they always sing hard that they know the contents off heart now Way to go Rubies!
For speech class this month、 the kids are practicing explaining the procedures to baking cookies.
From ingredients to safety tips, they’ll be reciting it all. The past few months have been crucial in building the speech class’ confidence. Now they can be seen speaking in big and confident tones.

Our new Pre – Sparkling Sapphires (PSS) has started this April with a total of 9 friends. Some of them are kids that have been coming to LK prior to April, and they’re showing some wonderful senpai – ship (made the word up but you get the idea) in helping the others.
This month’s theme is spring, and we’ve been having fun learning Spring songs and learning about creatures we see in spring. The little ones that spent their first day crying are now slowly starting to smile, we hope to continue providing an environment where they can feel relaxed.
We’re still at that stage where we’re trying to get them to become used to a new environment, so long walks are part of our program, but starting from next month we’ll start introducing toddler literacy and numbers.
4月から新しいプレサファイアクラスが始まり、お友達9人でスタートしました！ 昨年度から引き続き登園しているお友達も数名いて、さっそくお兄さん振りを発揮してくれています。 今月のテーマは「春」です。春の歌を歌ったり、春に見られる生き物の名前を教えてもらったりしています。 最初は一日の大半を泣いて過ごしていたお友達も、次第に笑顔が増えてきています。 園児が安心できる環境作りを頑張って行こうと思っています。 今月はまだ環境と先生に慣れることが目標なので長いお散歩に出る日々ですが、来月からは少しずつベビーリテラシーや数字に親しんで行こうと思っています。

Nowadays classroom attitude and participation for the Dazzling Rubies has been on an all time high, thanks to the Santa motivation. We got the idea from the oni app, but basically we pretend to call Santa and ask him if he’s watching. This really motivates the kids well and drives them to perform better in class. We hope to continue applying new methods to better motivate the kids at our school
Just a friendly reminder that Disney Fun with Kids! is coming up on April 17th, Sunday.
Our own T. Norito will be bringing his native singing friends to host a Disney concert for your kids, so please come and join in the fun with your family if you can find the time.
Story time (Disney of course) and a quick introduction of our classes at Lucky Kids will be included towards the end, so if you can invite your child’s friends that would be fantastic. See you there!
