Thanksgiving will be celebrated with a feast prepared by the children. The feast is served to all children. As the Thanksgiving preparation will require the participation of all PRINTS children, it is essential, to ensure a smooth operation and full attendance on the day of the celebration, that parents notify the Management Team by Friday, November 15th, if their child(ren) will not be attending the feast. This is, as you might imagine, necessary for the preparation of all the elements necessary for such a huge event.
Please note that the feast is served to the children only. This occasion is a chance for them to get involved in a complex activity from start to finish, and learn through practice all the details required by an operation of this scale. They will look forward to tasting the fruit of their own labor.
Thank you for your attention.
Pacific Rim International School (PRINTS) cultivates students with essential life skills through its focus on self-development, bilingualism, and internationalism in an AMI accredited Montessori environment.

Attention PRINTS Parents: Shichigosan is Friday November 15th
Dear Parents,
On Friday, November 15th, PRINTS will observe Shichigosan. In Japan, seven and three-year-old girls, as well as five-year-old boys, wear formal clothes and visit shrines. A commemorative photograph is taken of each child holding a bag of special red-and-white stick candies; families then gather to celebrate the children’s growth with a special dinner at home or at a favorite restaurant.

A Day in life: Emeryille Infant Community
I can put a lot of these beads on this string! Look! I put the same color of beads together.
ビーズたくさん通せるよ。見て！同じビーズを続けて入れたの。
I'm learning the names of vehicles in Chinese.
I know all names in English but they are different in Chinese!
Wash, wash, wash. When I wash a cloth on the washing board,
interesting sounds come out!
Now I'm washing a towel we use for drying our hands.

I'm practicing singing in Japanese.
小朋友像大姐姐一樣在幫我係圍裙。
My classmate is helping me with my apron just like a big sister.
I put all the brown stairs vertically and discovered they are of the same height.
戴上眼罩，我可以更清楚地用自己的手腕來感覺不同的溫度。
I can feel the different temperatures more readily when I am blind-folded.
這個小碗有點髒，讓我來把它擦得乾乾淨淨。
I'm going to polish all the metal bowls to make them shiny!
我在練習寫數字！
I like practicing writing numbers.
One of us is doing the "action", and the other needs to guess it and say the phrase in Chinese. We can do the whole set of cards now.
A Day in the Life: Halloween Presentations in the Erdkinder
On Halloween, the EK students presented their "Historical Halloween" Reports to their parents.
Each student selected a hero or heroine from history, or from a book. The characters had to be from Europe as this is the continent we are studying this year. They also had to compile a research project which included a five-paragraph essay, an oral report (spoken as their chosen character), provide an MLA-Style bibliography, and include timelines, maps, pictures and - if relevant - make props.
After delivering their speeches, the students invited their audience back to their environment to view their project boards.
All of the students' writing, research and artwork is on display in the San Mateo building's hallway. We hope you will stop in and take a look!
Here are our "characters":
