"Kamishibai (Japanese: 紙芝居?, "paper play") is a form of Japanese street theatre and storytelling that was popular during the Depression of the 1930s and the post-war period in Japan until the advent of television during the twentieth century. Kamishibai was told by a kamishibaiya (kamishibai narrator) who traveled to street corners with sets of illustrated boards that he or she placed in a miniature stage-like device and narrated the story by changing each image."
(reference from Wikipedia)
Emilia's class had an art exhibition of Kamishibai stories. Here's the kiddo.
And that's a wrap to this school year!! It's officially SUMMER!!

An Oldie, but Goodie
This was from last summer of 2016 when Liam went to a Super Heroes Camp. He looks so little in these photos.
There were lots going on in the camp. They made super heroes capes and masks that they wore all week long.
There were classes on various subjects.. this one looks like drawing. They also learned about real-life superheroes, police, fire fighters, people that daily do things that help people and save lives.
There were games and sports... or in Liam's case, he sometimes likes to sit and observe.
They learned about animals and got to pet a few critters. This part was one of his favorites.
In fact, he asked if he could have *this* as a pet (*This* is a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach!
A leopard Bengal cat is okay though...
Coloring..
The kids took care of the garden, by watering the plants and feeding the chickens.
And they put on a musical production at the end of the week.

The Scientist
And summer is coming to an end... I don't think we even made it to the beach, not even once, this summer. To kick off back to school, here's a backtrack to last school year --> I looked through all the papers, projects, etc that the parents received at the end of the school year and came across this gem of a notebook. Emilia's first science research notebook!
And I thought Kindergarten was all play. This kid knows more than I do about every day animals that live in our sandy shores.

School is OUT?! Summer is IN!!!
Holy Moly. Where in the world did the school year go?! Kindergarten has been an amazing time and new experience for all of us. Looking back at photos and videos, Emilia has really transitioned and grown this past school year. At the start of Kindergarten, school pretty much felt like play and socialization most the time, with bits of learning thrown in. But now.. the last several months, it's been full STEAM ahead!
These are some miscellaneous photos collected from the school year.
Early days of school.
Liam went from being one of the small kids in pre-school to one of the older kids now. He has made some really close friends that he is inseparable from at school. They play Superheroes every chance they get, which drives the teachers nuts.
Big kid now and carries a big backpack (instead of lunch tote) he received from his Auntie & Uncle.
Emilia's classroom.
The class had many field trips to learn and explore.
The kids also prepared projects to display and discuss during school exhibitions. The first exhibition Emilia presented at, her voice was barely audible. But as familiarity and confidence grew, by the end of the school year exhibition, she was holding her own.
The last exhibition's topic was "The Sandy Shores", which the kids were learning about through research observation.
Emilia's specific "Sandy Shore" focus was on the Snowy Plover.
The class held their exhibition at the aquarium where they got a chance to talk with aquarium visitors about their specific focus.
Emilia and some of her classmates.
Liam and his BFF.
Liam's pre-school "Moving Forward" ceremony.
Liam's "Moving Forward" certificate.
Both kiddos have really thrived and grown in school this year! They amaze me with the things they know and say. Both kiddos are book worms! Emilia is reading at 2nd grade level now, and Liam is reading high Kindergarten level. They have even started reading story time to each other, which makes my job way easier. All in all, it's been a busy, but good academic year.

The Three Piggy Opera
Backtracking... this was back in early March. Emilia's kindergarten class put on a performance of "The Three Piggy Opera" for the parents and family. Emilia's part was one out of three narrators of the story.
Emilia's narration at 0:21, 1:10, 2:12, and 2:56 in the video clip below.
Ryan practiced with Emilia the weeks prior to the play. They would sing the songs during dinner time and Emilia would practice reading her narration part. It helps too, that E, though in Kindergarten, is one of the more proficient readers in the class, and reading at 2nd grade level. (Yes, proud mom boasting moment!!) The fact that Emilia is reading books on her own now also influences Liam. He tries to read books on his own and is also one of the top readers in his pre-school class.
End of "The Three Piggy Opera".
Yup. Pretty cute. Her first play and she hammed it up!

Outbreak!!
So far this year has been already been challenging. We spent about 3 weeks rotating being sick. Finally getting back into a normal routine when we receive a message from school "There's an outbreak of lice, please check your kids". Sure enough, my social butterfly of a girl has brought some home.
These are moments when I am reminded how truly awesome the internet is... to get information, to learn any time, any where. Thank you modern day advancements! I knew nothing about lice two days ago... now I feel like an expert. And the kids, especially Emilia, observed and learned, as we went through this together. She was with me as we browsed through different websites, looking at photos, reading about the different stages of a louse, reading up on various methods to rid them, and discussing a strategy, a plan of attack.
Of course the first evening, we had no way of attacking this.. only research and create a plan of action for the next day. I hadn't yet spotted a live lice, only eggs, so I was betting that we still had time before the first round of eggs hatch. Poor E went to bed worried because she did not want the eggs to hatch. To top it off, she likes to snuggle, but there were no hugs or snuggles to reduce the spreading.
Some key notes after reading various sites (note, website info seemed to vary on specific quantities and timeline, so we went by worst case scenario):
1) A louse(singular) or lice(plural) cannot jump or fly. It can only crawl. Okay.. when I actually witnessed one "crawling", those tiny little buggers crawl pretty darn fast, fast enough that I could not catch it before it hid into more hairs.
2) A louse can lay 3-8 eggs (also known as nits) in a day.
3) An egg takes ~7 days to hatch (worst case website says 3-5 days).
4) The louse molts 3x leaving their shells.. which look like eggs. I add this as a key note because when there's a whole head of what seems like hundreds of nits, I freak out thinking there LOTS of lice (which is still the case).
Given some key information, and hearsay from others that these little buggers are HARD to get rid off, my OCD kicked into action. Time is of the essence since these little buggers can multiply exponentially. And being meticulous and thorough is crucial. Though I soon found out that's easier to say/write than doing.
Step 1) Create a plan A, a backup plan B and C, and gather materials. I researched what "products" were effective and recommended from online. I also researched natural, alternative remedies. Not knowing how fast the lice can spread, I ordered the effective products - treatments, lice combs, repellent shampoos/conditioners - immediately. This was still going to take 2 days to arrive, so I saw it as my backup arsenal. Next I hit the drugstore and picked up whatever treatment they had available. I also picked up things for the alternative remedies - alcohol, vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar, but next time will go for the unfiltered apple cider vinegar), a casserole baking pan, tea tree oil, and spray bottles.
Step 2) Immediate treatment. Die lice! Die! I randomly picked up LiceMD at the drugstore for the ease of application and use. I had thought about how to do a treatment application, and planned to have E lie on the floor with her head in the casserole baking pan (pillow in a plastic bag under her neck for some support). This worked pretty well though LiceMD is a bit messy. A head washing/soaking basin would have been preferred, but a disposable casserole baking pan was a great Macgyver solution. So, E was treated and I meticulously lice combed out the live (now dead) lice out. This took the whole evening, a good 3+ hours... but there were still the eggs. I continued to manually remove the eggs with my fingernails the next morning.. another 1+ hour.
Step 3) Remove Nits. There really is no good way to remove the eggs/nits. The lice comb doesn't get them all out (best effort is to comb in all different directions). Hand picking them out takes forever. It took me 30 minutes to get out 25-30 nits. And then when I thought I cleared out a section of hair, when I moved it in a different direction and looked under different lighting, there were still nits! So.. on day 2, I moved to plan B, alternative treatment. Research seems to indicate that a solution of 1:1 vinegar to water will help loosen the glue that holds the nits onto the hair. So once again, the casserole dish was the winning "tool". I placed E in the bathtub with a low level of warm water to keep her warm. Then had her lay down and put her head of hair into the casserole pan filled with the vinegar solution. I had her lay in that for 10+ minutes while I spent the time massaging her scalp and moving her hair around. After her head was done soaking in the vinegar solution, I continued with once again, lice combing out her hair in sections. I washed her hair with tea tree oil shampoo, and then dried it. Lo' and behold! A lot of the nits had fallen off in the vinegar wash and there were very few left. I'd say I'm down to 95% now. This step took another evening, 2+ hours.
Step 4) Prevention. So there's the usual, wash all bedding, clothes, vacuum carpets. But there's still an outbreak at school, so we still need to minimize the chance of catching lice again. Following alternative remedies, I mixed 4 ounces of water with 20 drops of tea tree oil into a spray bottle and spray it all over the hair, at the scalp, neck, and ears. Supposedly lice don't like tea tree oil. And from here on out, E's hair will be tied up, braided, pull back, etc and sprayed with tea tree oil for as long as the outbreak is still on-going at school.
Summary :
All in all, I have been OCD the past 2.5 days, waging war on them buggers. E and I have spent 6+ hours (2 days) doing all the above, and then some because I think you can never been too certain that ALL of them are gone. I may have won the battle right now, but we need to make sure we win the war. For the next few weeks, I will be lice combing out her hair morning and night for maintenance, and Step 4 will be on-going.
During this process, I kept reminding E to be patient.. that it takes time to do a good job or else the bugs will come back. We have to take this one thing at a time, one nit at a time. I would tell her when I found a nit, then have her help me count as we continued plucking them out. When we finished Step 3 and barely found any more nits, Emilia's hair was the blackest, shiniest, most beautiful hair. Nit free (mostly) and both of us happy! Who would have thought how much of an impact nice, bug free hair could have!
On another note, out of curiosity, I also researched lice removal services, some from salons and some mobile services. Typical charges are $95/hour plus additional fees for initial lice-checking (ex: $50 for lice checking per person) and 1-2 week post-checking. One review I read commented that they spent $400 to have lice removed out of their daughter's hair. Yikes!

Young Grasshoppers Have Much To Learn
It's been a week of judo classes! This weekend I observed Liam trying to instigate fights with Emilia by grabbing her arm/shirt and tugging or pushing her. I have also seen Emilia call Liam over for some judo/bjj play, then do a take down with a shirt/arm grab and a leg sweep. Emilia seems to like doing the take downs. Liam seems to like the grappling aspect more.. aka sit on Emilia.
Emilia's attention span in class is decent. She has above average grip strength for a newbie 5-yr-old and can follow instruction well. Liam.. oh my Liam, is just the opposite. He has been called out by the sensei numerous times, has been picked up by the belt and put back into line, put in front of the class for something only to start making faces, sticking out his tongue, rolling his eyes, and having the whole class laugh.
Can you spot the kiddos? (The little kid running back to the L-line just finished doing a demo with the instructor.) Most of the kids are paying attention.. most.
While sensei is teaching/demonstrating, Liam can be found laying down and rolling on the mat, or poking the kid next to him in the head, or turned 180 degrees in the opposite direction of sensei, watching the MMA boxers. Another kid even tried to get Liam to pay attention only to cause a disruption in the class. Luckily the senseis at this dojo are VERY good with kids, but also somewhat strict. The senseis will usually call out the kid, but they will also discipline the kids, put them on time out, have their belts or stripes taken away from them if necessary.

Kindergarten : A Big Kid
My big kid.
The week leading up to the FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN was all nerves for me, the mama. One would think its not that big of a deal, since E has already been in pre-K/daycare for a few years now. BUT this transition did feel very nerve-wrecking. What if she didn't like the school? What if she gets bullied? What if there are too many students and my kid won't get the attention or the help that she needs? What if the bigger kids at school deal drugs to the little kids? What if she gets lured away by a stranger? What if?? What if?? What if she wants school lunches (unhealthy) now instead of eating what I pack her? As you can tell, my stress and anxiety levels were topping the charts.
I spent the latter half of summer drilling her over stranger danger, acquaintance danger, heck.. even people you know danger. We practiced playground bullying scenarios and how she should handle it, simple self defensive strategies to keep her safe. etc. Then there were simple things.. we practiced her opening her lunch thermos by herself and drilled her on being responsible for her own things now. We go over healthy eating and what I consider is healthy. I know its Kindergarten, but you know, it seems like a big step for more responsibility and independence than from Pre-K daycare.
Long story short, what do you know, the day went smoothly without a hitch... who would have thought? =P
E was definitely ready for Kindergarten. She already seemed like such a big kid the way she went about the morning of the first day of school! She woke up earlier than the set wake up time and came to wake up the parents. She had picked out her clothes the night before and gotten herself changed and ready.
I prepared her food for the day, healthy snacks and lunch, and reviewed with her on how to open the thermos again, and how I organized her food. And yes, even though she's only 5, she rolled her eyes at me and said "I know mom. You told me already."
Banana, Strawberry, and Kale Smoothie.
Lunch box with a "1st day of grade K note".
Proud mama.
All of us went to see Emilia off for her first day of school, including Liam. First thing they both did was run off to the playground. Nope, no school jitters here.
Daddy's girl.
One of the first kids into the classroom to find her name tag and sit down.
Most of the kids were wide eye and curious. Afterall, this was new to them. A few kids cried and their parents had to comfort them. Parents lingered around to take photos, and finally the teacher said to the kids "Wave goodbye to your parents". She waved to Ryan, Liam, and I, no problem. Emilia was definitely ready for school. I, on the otherhand, had a hard time leaving. Luckily I had Ryan there to drag me out.
School has been pretty smooth sailing so far. She loves going to school and tells me how great her day is.. even though she doesn't remember what she learned or who she played with. And as for my healthy food for her, she's been eating them. She makes her own decision on whether to take the daily snacks that the school provides (usually some kind of crackers), and sometimes she does and sometimes she doesn't. I'm happy that she likes the green smoothies I make her, enough to request for them!
