Hello everyone, Preschool Class here!

We have always been confident in our shapes, but since we have been especially good at naming them during playtime, our teachers decided to do more activities with them for us! 

“Toni, look! It’s triangle!”

Along with shapes, we’re also really good at directions, such as ‘up’, ‘down’, ‘left’, and ‘right’.

“Preschool, what shape is to the right?”

Sometimes Toni even switches our questions. 

“Preschool, is the heart to the left or to the right?”

We are really good at this game! Sometimes we can’t wait for our turns, so we end up calling out the answer together. 

So, now we’re practicing ‘forward’ and ‘backward’! Especially with our Seven Steps Song, we love to try our best to stay together! Toni used to say ‘up’ or ‘back’, but now we have our new words to use instead.

“Preschool, go forward! One, two, three…!”

“Backwards, one, two, three…!”

“Are you keeping up?”

“Toni, uh-oh!”

“Oh my! Hurry hurry hurry! We can’t stop the music now!”

A newer game we have tried was done outside! Most of us are getting so fast to change our shoes. For this game, Toni grouped our shapes together and told us we could either touch the hula hoops or point to our shapes.

“No pushing our friends!”

“That’s right, please don’t push your friends! You can say ‘over there’ if you can’t reach, alright?”

Then we listened for a shape. 

“Please touch, Star! Three, two, one, go!”

“All together preschool, what shape is it?”

“It’s Circle!”

We love sharing the shapes we know, and we are always excited to try new games.

Good job, Preschool! Toni and Nanami are so proud of your enthusiasm, and we hope you can share your shapes and directions at home too. Let’s keep doing our best and keep having fun together!
