Week 11

Last week was an exciting week in Preschool! We celebrated St. Martin's with the lanterns we made and the treats care of the PTA (thank you!), took part in the island-wide emergency drill and training, and all of the teachers/assistants (Ms. Shirai, Peter, and Ms. Mami) celebrated another trip around the sun!

This week we will continue writing our All About Books for a mode of transportation of our choice. We will also discuss the features of particular transportation systems to prepare for our trip to the Kobe Airport on Monday.

In Readers Workshop, the students will be inducted as "Super Readers"! In this unit they will learn to use reading super powers to help them read.

We will learn the sounds for /ou/, /oi/, /ue/, and /er/ and begin learning sight words. This week's words are I, a, the, is, and has.

In maths, we will talk about patterns.

We are so excited for our trip to Kobe Airport on Monday. As mentioned in a previous email, preschool students will experience the features of transportation systems and how those systems meet the needs of all people first-hand on a field trip to the Kobe Airport. We will need 1-2 parent volunteers for this trip, please advise if you are available. The train fare for each child is 380 yen one way to experience the transportation system and we will return on the school bus. Adult chaperones would be responsible for their 770 yen in train fares.

If you haven't had a chance yet, please remember to fill out the form as to if your child will attend and if you are available to chaperone.

Have a great week!
