This week is International Week for the children, so the pre-kinder children started their day learning a bit about South Korea.  First however they needed their passports.



Once they had their passports it was off to visit the South Korea class.  At the end of the information they received stickers to put in their passports.  Other stickers included, France, New Zealand, India, Vietnam, and The Netherlands.

Back in their class it was time for English.  First, they read and recognized their names and would respond with a big “here.”  They got a ‘good job’ clap for responding.



When they had said ‘here’, it was time to say “hello.”



Big waves for “hello,” and crossed arms for “I’m fine.”



Today was a lot of singing songs, so we broke up the singing with a little action. Here, the children performed star jumps,



and whilst jumping were told to touch a body part, for example “touch your toes.”



It was a nice change of pace and the children had great fun.  The next song up was “Are you hungry?”  They children are doing excellently at repeating the lines “Are you hungry?” / “Yes, I am.”



They also do the action very well, especially the eating mimes.



I believe that was wasabi watermelon.



Some went “yummy!”, some did not. Ha!

Again, we practice “Here is the beehive” for their performance.



They are starting to sing, but the actions of the buzzing bees are great.



With that finished, we moved into the last part of the lesson, the “ABC song” and coloring.



We first sang the song.  Some followed along by pointing, most tried to say the letters they knew.  For the lower letters others would come up and touch the cards.



Then it was the coloring book.  This time the coloring was of Christmas pictures.  When asked “What’s this?”,



the children were very quick with “Santa Claus” and “present.”  The coloring was great with the children naming their colors,



and some, with a little help, asking for the crayons. Responding with “Here you are” of course.



And with that, it was time to say goodbye.  A lot of things packed into the morning, and the children did splendidly. Great job, everyone.
