Back from Golden Week!

Welcome back to school everyone! We can tell everyone had a fabulous Golden Week and couldn’t wait to tell their friends about their adventures! Nimo promised we would have time during circle time to share what we did so we waited until then. We started our morning continuing our mother’s day craft and playing with the wooden blocks.  On our activity table we had counting frogs with tweezers. We had colored plates and we used the tweezers to pinch the small frogs and put them in the right colored plate. After we collected all of them we tried counting how many we had and some of us tried adding the colors together, “10 blue + 5 orange”.

We had a great time playing with our friends and we quickly packed away our toys. We had our snacks as usual and were so happy to see the rain has stopped so we can go to the park! Before we got our smocks, we gathered in a circle to sing some songs. We practiced our Mother’s Day song, and when we sang our Good Morning song, we tried to sing our full name. Some of us knew how to say our family name, some of us needed a little bit of help and once we heard it we recognized it! After introducing our other names to our friends we found out it was M’s Birthday today as well as Maryna! We sang Happy Birthday to her and she was so happy to show us the rainbow mermaid she got for our Birthday present. She even showed us how it changed color in the water! We looked at the calendar and R pointed at the 21st of May, which was R’s Birthday! 

It was finally time for our much awaited circle time! We were itching to tell our teachers about what we did for Golden Week and now was the time!

M: I ride a horse in a Zoo. No mountains, mo river. Just a zoo.
