They also baked fish cookies with Ms. Sallie.<\/p>\n On the last Friday of the month, the children participated in “Fun Day”. The two and three year olds stayed at school and had fun playing with balloons, making simple kites, and also exercising, hopping from one hoop to the other.<\/p>\n The 4 to 6 year olds bundled up and went on a walk to nearby Minato-no-Mieru-Oka Koen.\u00a0 They took their simple kites that they had made and flew them while running around the park and around the flower garden.<\/p>\n In the afternoon, the older children went to the Elementary School building, and watched the popcorn pop!\u00a0 Mr. Hitchman, our PE teacher, and Ms. Beardsly helped us pop the kernels.\u00a0 \u00a0Oh, do we all love popcorn, especially the ones we watched pop right before our very eyes!\u00a0 “Did you hear the popcorn POP?!”<\/p>\n The 2 and 3 year olds loved their popcorn, too.<\/p>\n A Happy New Year 2019, and just one more year to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics!
