Beanstalk School Life

Thanks to the support of our Beanstalk parents, we had a successful rehearsal this morning!

Drumming, singing, dancing and more- we did it all with big smiles.

We hope to see everyone at the concert on December 10th!

Let our hearts be full of both,thanks and giving.

Today we had a simple thanksgiving celebration.

We made adorable simple crafts.

Instead of cooking, everyone brought home a special treat from school.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

We had some very special visitors recently… graduates of Beanstalk!

We have been open since 2007, so that makes our oldest gradutates high school students now.

Wow! We are so happy to see them as volunteers in our Saturday and seasonal school days and to know these fine young adults will continue using English in Canada

We had a very eventful day at Tempaku Sports center.

We did lots of things like Robby Rabbits first soccer experience, practiced drumming, singing and dancing too.

Everyone enjoyed and had lots of fun.

You are all awesome!

Our Beanstalk monthly goal for November is to get ready for the winter.

Beanstalk students can hang up their jackets properly by themselves.

Well done! Keep it up eveyone.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner.

And of course there is always something to be thankful for!

Our biggest thankyou goes to our children here at Beanstalk.

The reason why our major events are extra special because of their hard work and they always give their best.

One of our most important morning routines is circle time.

This is when we look at the calendar and talk about what is coming up today.

It helps us learn how to sit nicely and wait our turns, and have fun conversation while we learn months, days, dates and weather… we also practice our grammar!

Keeping up with the calendar helps us gain a sense of past and future, getting excited about future events and reminiscing about past ones.

And we can use this as a chance to be more in tune with the world around us.

Shapes and colors are an important part of early childhood education.

When your child strives to identify and separate blue blocks from yellow ones, she’s learning more than curves, corners, and colors.

They are making sense of their new world and developing the ability to communicate it to you.

There are lots of fun activities we can do with colors and shapes! Using not only flashcards, but focusing on hands-on activities uses all the senses to remember and recollect the information they have learned.

Happy Halloween! It’s usually a spooky time of year, but we were able to use this holiday to connect more with our Beanstalk families and our neighbors as well.

We of course also had lots of fun with our annual Trick-or-Treating and costume fashion show!

We are so grateful for the opportunity to show off our costumes and sing some songs at Kobotuki-so this year!

May everyone we met live long and healthy lives.
