[Itabashi Station Kindergarten] Special Week until Graduation Ceremony

Hello, this is Itabashi Station Garden 🌸

This time, we will bring you a report on the special week leading up to the graduation ceremony.

There's only a little over a week left to spend this year playing together! We had some fun with the kids in preparation for the graduation ceremony, hoping to create some special memories at the end.

First, we went to a florist with the children in the 2-year-old class to buy some special flowers to decorate the nursery school. The children looked very happy when they saw the beautiful flower pots with different kinds of flowers arranged in them, saying, "There are so many flowers," and "I wonder what kind of flower this is? Let's look at an illustrated book when we get home."

Next, we made pancakes as part of our food education program. We actually baked pancakes in front of the children, and topped them with our own sugar, strawberries, and cream. We were very happy to see the children smiling from start to finish, saying things like "Amazing!" and "That's fun!", and it became a special memory for us.

And on the day of the graduation ceremony. On that day, we created a time for the 2-year-olds to spend alone and they enjoyed playing with recycled materials ✂️ They chose their favorite items from a wide variety of items, saying things like "I want to make a rabbit" and "I'll make ice cream." Their imaginations expanded more than usual, and I felt their growth as they thought and invented things 🥲

At lunch time, the children enjoyed having their lunch boxes packed with rice 🥰 When the lunch boxes came out, they were overjoyed, saying, "Yay! It's rice balls," and "It's special and I'm so happy." 🎶 They ate a lot and recharged their batteries for the graduation ceremony!! ️

At the graduation ceremony, we enjoyed a panel theater featuring children graduating and saying goodbye 💕 When the faces of their friends appeared, they were seen smiling and calling each other by name as they said, "It's Mr. X" and "Everyone's here" 👀 At the graduation ceremony, a two-year-old child cheerfully raised his hand to answer and came forward to receive his certificate, which was a very reliable and wonderful sight 😊

I want to spend the remaining week playing with my kids, laughing, and making lots of wonderful memories⭐️
