Students at ABC were treated to a visit from the Kinderqueen on May 12. Kathryn Claire travelled from the United States to Tokyo to entertain ABC’s children, parents, and teachers with over an hour of songs, stories, and music. Students made their own crowns beforehand so they could wear them during the performance, and audience participation was “happy and boisterous!” according to Director Elizabeth Minahan.
Also in May, ABC celebrated “Book Week,” during which children brought in their favourite books and welcomed parents and friends to read to them. A highlight of the week was when the children came to school dressed as their favourite book character.
Toward the end of the month, ABC held their Spring Family Picnic in Shinjuku Park, with bubbles, tug-of-war, and potato sack races. Everyone is now looking forward to more exciting outdoor activities coming up during ABC’s summer program from June 28–July 23.
