It's actually spelled (when spelled with roman characters) You, but pronounced more like "Yo" with a hint of a long 'u' at the end. You-chien is pre-school and kindergarten. Three-year-olds to six-year-olds. Graduation is only for the students moving on to first grade.
On Aka, this means just one girl, Natsumi. She will join the three current first-graders (all boys) into a combined first/second-grade class next year. I am praying she will add some 'chill' chemistry to the group.
Natsumi received a diploma, two big wrapped gifts, and tulips from each of the seven other yo-chien students. At the end we got to throw tons of homemade confetti at her. Inspired by the immaturity of four-year-olds, I kept picking up more confetti off the ground and throwing it on fellow teachers and students.
Zamami had about twelve graduates and Geruma had one.
