Smooth and Rough Scavenger Hunt

Wow, can you believe it’s already October! We had a lot of fun this past week.

In Petals, we got to to learn about our senses especially hearing and touching! We got to see cool shells, pine cones, and the big spider at Roppongi Hills.

Reviewing Big and Small:
M: (Passing along different sized and textured seashells)

Ka: Rough
T: I hear rough.
M: Use your nails to scratch and listen.
Ko: (lightly scratches the snail)
R: (taps with nails) Listen, ears!

Story Time:
Ka: When I go to the ice, throws head backwards, It’s ouchie!
Ka: Daddy’s finger is soft.
T: I touch daddy’s hand it’s soft.
R: No mommy, no daddy hands.
Ko: My hands, small (Mia: Daddy?) Big!
Ka: Sign said don’t stand on the sand because it’s wet?
M: Bed?

Ty: Bouncy.
Ko: (looking at the sheep) soft!
Ka: I see sheep with daddy. I see so many, 10!

Scavenger Hunt at the Park
We got to hunt for lots of different items at the park. Soft leaves, hard and rough rocks, soft and bumpy leaves, so many items! It was fun to run around and gather them all.

Today we had dance class with A-sensei, too. She made us laugh so much and we’re starting to get more and more confident dancing!

At the park we found the sand was dug out into a small pit! It was fun jumping across it.

We can’t wait for next week! That’s it from us!

Love,
Petals
