This week, we focused on Business as it is one of our monthly themes. The children learned what business is, especially about stores, restaurants, and factories around us. We’ve discussed the way how to get things when we need something. Many students answered like, “we go to the restaurant to eat.” or “we go to the supermarket to get food.” Even some students said that we need “money” to buy things.
We also watched the Toyota production lines to investigate factories in class to help them grasp factories and production. The students were so surprised to watch it!!
We had a chance to go to the park on Tuesday afternoon. Milky Way was very excited to go there.
We are doing a great job with quadrilaterals (rectangle, square, rhombus, and trapezoid) and triangles (equilateral, isosceles, scalene, right-angled). Many students were able to name those shapes and even draw them by themselves!!
We read many scripts such as “The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats”, “Hensel and Gretel” (from Grimm’s Fairy Tales), “Pinocchio” (from Disney) throughout this week and discussed which story we can play for the Christmas Show and we’ve decided to play “The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats”. We will be sending scripts and song words for Milky Way to practice for the Christmas Show in the near future!
今週、ミルキーでは今月のテーマの一つ、Businessについて学んできました。子供たちはBusinessとは何か? 特にお店、レストラン、工場について話し合いました。みんなで何かほしいものがある時、どのようにして手に入れるか？やどこに行くか？という質問を投げかけると、“we go to the restaurant to eat.” や “we go to the supermarket to get food. “
という答えをだし、更にある子はお金を払って買うんだよ、と回答してくれました。
またみんなで工場についての理解を深めるため、トヨタ自動車の生産ラインを見ました。ロボットや機械が塗装をしたり、ベルトに乗った部品が組み立てられのを見て、とても興奮していました。
また今週は火曜日に公園へ行きました。久しぶりの公園はとても楽しく、たっぷり外遊びを満喫しました。
クリスマスの劇を決めるため、いくつかの台本をクラスで読み、グリム童話から“オオカミと七ひきの子ヤギ”に決めました。役が決まり次第、台本や歌詞を持ち帰り練習をお願いすると思いますが、その時はお家での練習、よろしくお願いします。
