Today was the birthday party for the children born in July. Before singing the Happy Birthday song and giving out presents, all the birthday children did a great job saying their names and how old they were. After that, they all did a fabulous job answering their grade questions! The children put their birthday candles on the big cake and then we all sang Happy Birthday to them. Once we finished singing we passed out birthday presents before our teacher’s play. This month’s play was the ‘Wizard of Oz’! Dorothy magically ended up in Emerald City and needed help finding her way to IYK for the birthday party. She met a Scarecrow, Tin Man and a Lion before meeting a Wizard who gave her magic ruby slippers to get to IYK. Using the magic ruby slippers, they all made it to IYK together just in time for the birthday party. It was the Wizard’s birthday too so he shared cake with all the IYK July birthday friends. Congratulations to all of the July birthday friends and thank you to the parents who came to watch!
Today was the last day of Elephant Class in the first term, and we had so much fun together. We reviewed fruit like “kiwi”, “apple”, “banana”, and “peach”, and each child could pick one and say, “I like kiwi,” for example. Then we pretended to mix the fruit by doing a rhythmic activity. Finally, Mr. Ice Cream came and shared his yummy fruit ice cream with the children. Everyone could tell him their favorite fruit, and pretend to eat it. Summer time is very hot, so we hope everyone can stay cool. Please have lots of fun and we will see you again in August!
