September 24 was our first "One Day Preschool" class. It's a two and a half hour program that we will do once a month on Saturdays. We had eight children show up. Four were unable to come because either they or their parents were sick. The theme was fruit, so we taught fruit vocabulary, played fruit games, read fruit stories, and made fruit crafts. The children ranged in age from three to five years old. They all had fun, although, it being the first time, some were shy.
The volunteer helpers were wonderful. Big thank yous go to Michiko, Miho, and Joko. A reporter from Japan's The Christian newspaper was there too; there will be an article in the next issue.
Our next "One Day Preschool" will be on October 22. We will be starting our Wednesday "Parents and Kids Club" soon. Check here for details.
