This month, the Brilliant Crystals class enjoyed learning about the 5 senses with smelling and tasting activities. The activity introduced several new English vocabulary words such as sweet, sour, salty and bitter. They enjoyed describing the taste and smells of different types of food and plants.
We have also been developing our phonic identification and writing skills. The students enjoyed rainbow writing and easel print writing activities.
It’s that time of year when we show our appreciation for our fathers, and very single kid at our school made crafts for Father’s day. We hope the daddies enjoyed them, and we’re very thankful for all the hard work!
This month’s theme for speech is “How to get good grades”
The kids participated in a workshop on how to get good grades, then practiced reciting/ memorizing the basic procedures taught that day. It’s a very important and practical topic, and we hope they’ll make good use of everything we learn this month.
Rainy season is upon us, but luckily, we only had cloudy days last week. Sunny days are scarce, so we go outside when we can!
The other day, we had a color ball sorting activity for their hand and eye coordination. They picked up small pom pom balls of different colors and put them inside the specified paper cup. Lots of fun, and they thought pretty hard too
Since opportunities to play outside will probably grow less and less, we’re hoping to provide lots of more fun games that stimulate their brains too.
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。

「ラッキー」を子供たちに！
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.
