Tsukuba International Preschool

What a busy and fun week we had at TIP before spring break. We made a class book with silly behaviours similar to “David goes to school”, visited grade one at TIS and learned how to sing The Rainbow Song in sign language, had a “Vegetable soup sharing party”, as well as our usual routines and activities.
This week in language arts we will continue our writing and vocabulary building activities with a focus on the letter Ww. We will share Window, by Jeanie Baker and talk about her distinct collage pictures. We will also try making our own versions. Continuing with our Ww letter theme, Preschool children will do some water experiments, learning about waves and buoyancy.
We hope that you have enjoyed spring break and look forward to seeing everyone back safely on Monday.
