Being a star!
It's always important as a teacher to give praise to all your students, especially when they try their best every week!
Learning a new language is always difficult, and they having really been making progress!
I am so proud of everyone so far and I am so happy to see some of the skills they have
been practicing taking shape in their conversations, with me and eachother.
One of my Adult students "M" is relatively new to learning/speaking English and watching her introduce
herself to a much younger little student really touched my heart. She saw one of the younger students in the lobby and spoke to her!
Their short conversation was so sweet and I was proud of her for courageously introducing herself in English!
She isn't a shy lady but she has been having confidence issues with her English skills, so this was amazing!
She really took being a star to heart!

What did you like?
This week and last week, our P5 students have been practicing talking about their holiday and weekend activities with the questions "what did you like at the Amusement park?" and "what was the roller coaster like?"
This question can also be used to ask about other activities, and so I have asked students about thei golden week activities. It has been great practice to hear from students not only what they did, but also what their favorite or least favorite parts were, everyone has had such interesting adventures and they always sound so excited to tell us all about them.
I hope we can have so many more adventures in the future!

お友達と会話をたくさんしました!
みなさんこんにちは!
今日は、小学校高学年クラスのお話をいたします。
小4~小6が6人集まったこのクラス。
みんなその日の単語や構文をすぐに覚え、実際にお友達同士で質問をしあってもらいます!
また、ワークブックやテキストブックが早く終わった日も、ピクチャーブックというテキストを使い、早く終わった人たちから絵をみながら質問をしてもらっています。
答えるだけではなく、質問する力も今後とても大切になっていきます!
これからも一緒に楽しく練習していきましょう!

Homework makes the dream work!
This week has been very busy, with organizing all the orders for the bookfair!
Many students are excited to be working on their new books and I am hopeful that they will
manage to complete them with little to no problems! It can be hard to do all the extra work and
I am proud of how dedicated everyone has been to completing their weekly homework! Keep it up guys!
Some students however are a bit wary of doing more self-study books as it means more homework.
As a teacher it is hard not to feel bad for assigning more homework to the students,
but at the end of the day it helps them re-enforce what they have been learning in
class and helps build up the necessary skills to tackle English with confidence!
Let's hope we can keep them motivated to go through their study material without feeling discouraged!

A Brand new Library
Many of our students will have seen it in our lobby, but I`m very excited to tell everyone.
Our Amity school now has a wonderful new library of story books to read before and after classes,
We have many picture books for students of all levels, they can read about music, animals, and many rhyming games and puzzles!
Each one of these books has been highly recommended by many teachers, So I made sure that each of them is ready to delight and teach everyone new things!
