I am strong, and you are beautiful!
What a wonderful day we had together with our friends today! We had tons of laughing, running, and playing with our buddies in Flowers Class! Our morning started with us making our special bracelets! The teachers first had some strings and beads out on the table for some threading activity to help develop our fine motor skills. As we threaded our beads we made flamboyant necklaces, we really wanted to keep them, but we couldn’t because it was Ohana’s. Our teachers came up with an idea and quickly prepared another table with another threading activity, this time with strings and beads we could take home! We threaded our strings with various bead shapes and colors to make our very own bracelet!
After we all made our bracelets, K excitedly asked his teachers, “Are we going to Kogai Park?” Our teachers replied with a yes and everyone got super excited to get ready for the park. We had fun with the monkey bars, climbing walls, swings, and the zip line. We noticed today that Kogai Park actually has lots of room to run and actually is a great place to play tag! We drained ourselves of all of our energy running around! Once we got back we actually started eating our lunch! It was a little bit early, but it was far too late for snack time. We decided to eat our lunch then have our snacks afterwards in case we got hungry. Once everyone was finished with their lunch we got into a circle for some music time and circle time. We sang some songs together danced a little then we sat down and talked about ourselves and our friends a little bit. Nimo started by asking us a question. “I would like all of you to think of a word that describes you, something that you are. Like, ‘I am silly!’”. Nimo gave us a few seconds for us to think and it was time to announce what we thought of ourselves.
Ak: I am strong
Ad: I am cool
Me: I am beautiful
Am: I am lovely
Un: I am beautiful
Ki: I am fast
K: I am so so strong
Ke: I am wonderful and great
Ka: I am a princess
Yu: I am cool
Ch: I am strong and cool, I have strong biceps
Next, Nimo asked us to turn to the person on our left and think of something to say about them. Nimo started by saying, “Ak you are very fast!”
Ak: Ad you are cool and fast and strong
Ad: Yu is fast beautiful and strong
Yu: Am you are fast, happy and beautiful
Am: Un you are lovely
Un: Ki you are beautiful
Ki: Ke is strong
Ke: That’s because I only eat Shirogohan. K is fast, good, and great
K: Ka is beautiful, strong, and fast at running
Ka: Me is cool, cute and strong
Me: Ch is fast, strong and cool
Ch: Nimo is strong and fast
Nimo then asked us how we felt hearing our friends say nice things about us. It felt super good and made us happy! We thanked one another and because we did a great job sitting nicely and listening to our friends we decided to play a game together before we went home. We played freeze dance and the London Bridge game. We had so much fun we lost track of the time and by the time we noticed the clock it was almost time to go home. We sat down together with the lights off to do a short mediation session to help everyone calm down. Thank you everyone for another Fantastic Friday! Have a lovely weekend and see you all again next week!
Love,
Fabulous Friday Flowers
