Theme
Happy Spring!!
Plants and Bugs!!
I hope you all enjoyed your Golden Week holidays and we are back for
another fun-filled month! April was filled with information on the theme “All About Me.”
Everyone did a wonderful job! To give you a quick overview, the K3 students were able to
make sentences like: “My mom is tall!” and “I’m 3 years old!” (Please note: Some of our
friends are still having difficulty distinguishing differences between “How old are you?” and
“How are you?” but that’s ok!! ☺) K4 students were able to make sentences like “My dad is
taller than my mom!” “I can smell with my nose!”, “I can hear with my ears!” and much, much
more!! They were able to answer many questions relating to themselves as well, such as
“What did you have for breakfast today?“ Wow!!
