We love nature so every month we learn about seasonal flowers of Japan. Our activities help develop English language skills and fine motor skills such as cutting, folding, gluing and writing. We started in April with the tulip.
The children compared their handmade tulips to real tulips. So many beautiful colors! The leaves are so long!
Look at our beautiful hanging wisteria flowers! In May, some children said they saw wisteria in bloom in the mountains while out on a drive.
In June, in Japan, the hydrangea reminds us of the rainy season.
Some children experimented with mixing colors for the title.
The English word "hydrangea" is a new word for many children! It's fun learning new things!
The older K3 children love doing their best!
Yes! Ready to use bubble paint to make our flowers!
The children are curious and wonder how it will turn out!
Touch the bubbles with your paper and see what happens!
Wow! It worked! A beautiful purple hydrangea!
After making purple and pink hydrangeas, we looked at real leaves and drew leaves around our flowers.
The children were surprised the hydrangea leaves are so big!
The children found beautiful hydrangea flowers in our kindergarten!
The children also found hydrangea flowers outside near our school!
Teachers enjoy talking with the children about flowers and colors.
The children enjoy talking to each other, too! "I like purple flowers!", "Me, too!"
Can you guess what the July Flower of the Month is?!
If you guessed "Lotus", you are right!
