This Week at TIP: September 1, 2009

Welcome to Tsukuba International Preschool!

What an exciting yet scary time both for parents and your beautiful children. After a few little tears were shed, you will be happy to know that all of your children settled in remarkably well for their very first day at TIP. We are very proud of them!

This week at TIP we will have an altered schedule to allow plenty of time to get used to our classroom routines and environment. Thank you for your support and we are looking forward to a great year of fun and learning!

Our first day together! We will learn each others’ names using and meet the TIS students on a tour of their school. We will also make a class jigsaw puzzle and then put it together.

This morning we will review our class rules and routines, take a walk in the forest. We will also make placemats to eat our lunch off, as well as be introduced to the alphabet with a fun game. For PE we will learn how to play “Duck, Duck, Goose”.

Thursday
This morning we will try kids yoga, and play some fun alphabet games. During Maths we will read “Chicka Chicka 123” and play some number games. After quiet time we will do a birthday cake art activity.

Friday
Today we will walk in the forest and then share some of our favourite stories. In the afternoon we will join TIS students outside for some bush dancing.
