Activity Lunch
Kuma, Zo, and Kujira class students enjoyed activity lunch today. They made fresh vegetable salad. Kitchen staff prepared some lettuce, tomatoes, corns, and crouton. Students dished up all kinds of ingredients to their plates and poured some salad dressing on their salad. They made delicious salad on their own!

Children's Day Lunch
It is Children's Day on May 5th in Japan today.
It is a national holiday celebrating your healthy life. We are serving bamboo shoots mixed rice and dorayaki (azuki bean paste pancake sandwich) as a special lunch. The reason why we eat bamboo shoots for the day, parents would like you to grow like a bamboo. Sometimes, it grows 10 feet in one or two weeks! Please enjoy.

Growing and Observing in the Garden

Growing and Observing in the ...
Around the middle of April we planted the seeds of carrots, parsley, and sunflowers in the Zo classroom. We also planted strawberries in the playground, and we have been observing their growth every day. The children are always quick to notice things, and even the day immediately after planting they were already finding changes and, “Sensei, look!” reporting them to us. They have been giving a lot of water to the parsley that just doesn’t seem to come up, and they have all be excited about the slow but steady carrot sprouts. We are all looking forward to eating the carrots when they get bigger!

Spring Break

Spring Break
From April 9th to 13th Kujira class (kindergarten) had spring break. During the one week break we took up the theme of “bugs”, and went searching for bugs and learned more about the life of bugs.
We started on Monday by making a “bug map.” With a map of Megumi Preschool in hand, everyone went outside to search for bugs. When someone found a bug they marked that spot on their map, and we learned about what kind of bugs live where around the school. We worried that there wouldn’t be so many bugs around, but we managed to find bugs in 22 different places including butterflies, ladybugs, centipedes, and ants!
Even after spring break ended the children started reporting bugs to the teacher when they notice them, “Sensei, I found a spider!” Our spring break activities really helped open their eyes to the world of bugs.

Uchimame-jiru
Today’s lunch is a dish from Fukui Prefecture in Japan called “Uchimame-jiru” (crushed bean soup). You can see white pieces in the soup, right? Those are crushed pieces of soy bean, full of nutrients! Since a long time ago, the people of Fukui Prefecture have had a custom of assembling at temples and shrines and eating this soup. Children enjoy this healthy soup!

Leprechaun

Leprechaun
For two weeks before Saint Patrick's Day, every day a leprechaun came to the Kujira class and played tricks on everyone. Switching around everyone’s shoes, putting the clock upside-down, the children have been looking forward to trying to find out what mischief the leprechaun has been up to every morning. Today, Leprechaun "pured" a bookmarks into milk cups for the lunch. For this week’s homework from Judy-sensei, the children even had to design a leprechaun trap. Unfortunately, no one did manage to catch the leprechaun!
