Month: April 2022

We celebrated an early Boy’s Day at Beanstalk today.

Boys’ Day is a holiday that celebrates how our children have grown so big and healthy in the past year.

All the boys dressed their best for a special photo shoot- see how big we have grown!

We celebrated by having a special snack of kashiwa-mochi and of course, decorating the school with lots of Koinobori (carp windsocks.)

Carp are strong fish who can swim in any river, and according to legends even up waterfalls!

We hope that our boys grow up strong and resilient just like the carp.

Spring is the time of year we look forward to new beginnings.

There are baby animals to see, flowers blooming, and we can enjoy brighter, longer days.

Let’s enjoy this wonderful season together!

We began our soccer class for the new school year last week.

We all missed to play soccer again.

Everyone gave it their all in the warm-up and was looking forward to playing against each other and demonstrating their increased abilities.

We will continue to do our best to boost our skills!

This year we have a new after-school activity: ballet class!

Our first class was last Friday.

Both boys and girls enjoyed their time learning the basics with our two ballet teachers.

Learning to move our bodies in different ways helps grow both our muscles and our minds!

Sending you lots of happy, happy Easter wishes from Beanstalk.

Sunflowers are known for evoking a feeling of positivity because of their large, yellow blooms.

They stand tall—taller than many other garden blooms—and always seem to perk up our moods.

Scooping up the dirt, placing the seeds in the pots and pouring the water all take fine motor control and strength.

Thank you to our little gardeners for helping us plant the sunflowers.

We can’t wait to see them bloom.

A new school year means opportunities to try new things.

Today, the new Robby Rabbit students tried gym class for the first time!

They did so well getting changed all by themselves for the first time and putting away their clothes.

Everyone loved stretching and bending with their gym teacher.

We are already looking forward to our next gym class.

Today was a great day to kick off the new school year 2022.

We were new to everything, but that didn’t stop us from having a good time.

Because our wonderful teachers helped us in completing our tasks.

Then we had a nice day at the park and in our lovely garden with our old and new friends.

We’re looking forward to having a great time and learning new things!

What a beautiful day for a tea party!

First, we made our own tiered trays to pile with sweets and sandwiches.

After decorating our cupcakes and making the jelly… it was finally time to eat.

Please pay special attention to our fancy flower hats.

An enjoyable time was had by all, and it was the perfect way to welcome spring.
