Tanabata Festival

In July we held our much anticipated Tanabata Festival party. The children had been practicing the Tanabata and other songs as well as musical instruments.

All the students and teachers and some of the parents came in yukatas or jimbeis. Everyone looked very cute and the children were excited to be dressed so nicely and to see their friends in their traditional festival garb.
First off we had a short observation lesson so the parents could see how their children are progressing in their studies.

After that everybody wrote their wishes on their own tanzakus and hung them on the bamboo tree in the hope that they would come true.

Then it was time to show off the songs we had been practicing for weeks. Everybody did a great job singing and playing instruments, with one student playing the Tanabata song on the piano!

Introducing our new programs

Gym class

Beanstalk International Schoolでは1st semesterより、従来のプリスクール授業カリキュラム内に園内の室内ジムで行う、体操のプログラムを導入しました。

ご入学後一年が経過した方のRobby Rabbit Classのお友達は、これまで毎日繰り返して来たfine motor skill practiceに加え、十分なgross motor skill practice が必要になります。

mosaic4247383.jpgThe children develop their gross motor skills with rope jumping games, balance training and depth perception.

毎週決まった時間に専門のインストラクターをお呼びし、その時間だけは男性教師による日本語のクラスとなります。これは将来日本の小学校に入学された場合の環境の変化や、学校内で使われる日本語に慣れる事が目的です。英語しか理解できないお子様の為にバイリンガルアメリカ人教師も一緒にクラスに入っております。
