Where are we going?

Good morning! “Do we go to the Step Park, today?” Theo wondered. “I have this!” Ja showed her umbrella to everyone. Kotaro showed his toy. Hi had a beautiful smile and greeted everyone, “Good morning!” R was the first one who arrived so she chose the toy she wanted to play with. Graham wanted to play with cars today so he took them out from the car box. Subaru was excited to have Pauline in Petals today.

[Free Play Time]
Today, we had our wooden trains and train tracks out, too. Pauline helped us to make a long train track. While Theo was playing with it, he had a wonderful idea and said to Pauline, “Pauline, we can make a tunnel!” T’s idea was to make a tunnel by using cardboard. Wow, that's a great idea! So, Pauline helped him to make it over the wooden tracks.

On the other side of the room was a spinning top area. H found a top on the floor and said, “This is John-John’s.” Actually, John took out the spinning top yesterday for us. Sayaka asked if we would like to play with them again. R, H, and J nodded their heads yes.

[Circle Time]
We are still learning the Petals Class morning song and we actually enjoyed singing it. We were asked if we would like to go to the temple instead of the Step Park. “Temple?” We asked our teachers. We know where the temple is because we sometimes stop by there but we haven't really played there. Then Pauline told us that the temple is a nice and quiet place. “I wanna go to the temple!” we said to them.

Sayaka went over what we talked about yesterday. The places we covered were Step park, Disney World, Tokyo Tower, Ghiburi museum, and Beach.

*Disney world*
Su: We need to take a bicycle and cars.
H: Mickey Mouse!
T: There’s a castle!

*Ghibli Museum*
J: Scary!
T: It’s spooky
S: How do we go here?
T: Bicycle!
Su: Train! Subway train. My daddy use subway train with me.
Theo: My mommy say you get to pick the flowers in the beach and in the tent and then Tokyo tower…. Then it’s time for dinner! And then Mama say I have to eat my lunch.


*Tokyo Tower*
Hiu: Taxi!
T: We can also take a bicycle or walk.
*Step Park*
Su: Rope and walk.
Ja: Walk- walk- walk- walk
Sayaka: Can we go to park like this? *Made some running actions*
Theo: You can get an owie when you fall down and then mommy say, “Oh no…”
Suba: and then you cry like a baby.

*Beach*
J: By car.
S: By bus.
T: We can go by a boat.
J: A boat.
T: My mommy daddy take a boat in Africa and then they see animals.
Then Sayaka had an idea that we would go on an imaginative trip. We will go to all the places we want to!
Sayaka asked each of us to choose a place to go. She showed the photo and we counted the steps to get there. “1. 2. 3…We need to count, ok?” Sayaka said to us.
Theo chose to go to Disney World: 9 steps.
H chose to go Tokyo Tower: 18 steps
R chose to go to Disney World: 8steps
G said, “Me want to go to Tokyo Tower!” 18 steps
K chose Tokyo Tower and he counted clearly and it was 12 steps.
S chose to go to the beach and 15 steps
J said, “Mickey Mouse!”: 18steps

Since we chose Tokyo Tower, the beach, or Disney World, Sayaka asked us if we wanted to go to Ghibli museum and Step park. We all stood up and jumped up there! It was a nice counting exercise!

After we finished, we headed to the temple and had a lot of fun. Thank you for another beautiful day, and see you all tomorrow!

Love always,
Happy Petals Class Children
