Autumn has arrived, and the children are excited to see the leaves changing colors. They have been bringing leaves to school, and realised that there are so many different leaf shapes. Some children were introduced to the Leaf Cabinet<\/strong>, a child’s introduction to the world of botany,\u00a0and a great exercise in\u00a0visual discriminations regarding forms. They learned also how\u00a0different shapes have different names. \u00a0Some children poked out the outline of leaves using\u00a0a push pin and made a Leaf Book and a mobile.<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0class\u00a0went to watch and cheer on the older children at the Elementary School Sports Day <\/strong>on\u00a0the\u00a0field of Futaba Gakuen, our Japanese sister school. We\u00a0share the same school badge.<\/p>\n

On October\u00a028th, Friday, the two\u00a0and three\u00a0year olds enjoyed\u00a0a special Teddy Bear Tea Party<\/strong> with Ms. Catherine and Mrs. Almoula. \u00a0The children brought their teddy bears and\u00a0other stuffed animals to school to\u00a0enjoy a special snack together on the Montessori School rooftop. \u00a0Ms. Catherine and Mrs. Almoula wanted to share the following photos of the day.<\/p>\n

That\u00a0same day the other\u00a0children\u00a0went to Seaside Farm in Yokohama to pick mikans (tangerines) off the trees. The group was large enough that the School bus needed to\u00a0make\u00a0two round-trips. The first group was\u00a0comprised of the\u00a0younger 4 to 6 year olds, followed by the\u00a0group of\u00a0older children. Sarah’s mom volunteered to be\u00a0a chaperone from our class, along with Helena’s mom from Ms. Sallie’s class, and\u00a0Ryo’s mom from Ms. Catherine’s class. Thank you all!<\/p>\n

We picked a lot of mikans, tasted some, and later\u00a0gathered more to take home. \u00a0The mikans were\u00a0sweet and juicy, leaving\u00a0our hands smelling like the fruit.<\/p>\n

It was fun to pick the fruit and taste it\u00a0under the trees, and be out\u00a0with friends among\u00a0Nature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
