Nagano Rainbow – What’s your favorite shape?  (12-16 September) 

Hello everyone!

We had a fun week here in Rainbow. We learned about shapes, had a fun fym lesson at the school, and continued to practice our bells in music lesson.

Shapes (Monthly theme)

As mentioned in earlier blogs, we have started learning about shapes this month. The main focus is learning the name of the shapes, but we are also reinforcing the vocabulary and phrases we have learned from previous months. Phrases like:

  • «What’s this? »
    • «It’s a ____»
  • “Do you like ___?”
    • “Yes, I do”
    • No, I don’t”
  • “I like ___”

If you want to help your child remember these simple phrases more easily, you can try using them together at home too!

We are learning the names of some basic 2D shapes. Circle, Square, Triangle, Rectangle, Star and Heart. Each child got to pick their favorite shape to color. After they colored the shape, we put them on the wall for display. Luckily, we got at least one of each shape!

Shaking our maracas!

We used maracas for the first time this week in our music lesson. The kids had a lot of fun shaking the maracas and making sound. We walked around the room while shaking them while the teacher played music on the piano. When the music stopped, they also had to stop moving and making sound. I was surprised how quickly everyone was able to stop making sound! Good job everyone!

New outside toys!

We got a donation of toys for the sandpit from one of our wonderful parents! Thank you so much! The kids really loved playing with all the new toys!

Thank you for reading, and asee you again next week!
