Day: April 30, 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!
