みなさんこんにちは！
今日は小学校低学年クラスのお話をいたします。
全部で6人のこのクラス。
とても賑やかでいつも笑いに包まれています。
この間、'I have a ...'という文を練習しました。
ゆっくりだと簡単なので、少し早く言う練習をしました。
するとみんな、rやlが混ざっている単語もスピードに乗せて発話を頑張っていました。
そしてお友達が困っているときには、クラスメイト同士で教えあっていました！
「教える」というのは自分がわかっていないとできないこと。
英語を学ぶ上でとても大事な「アウトプット」がお友達同士でできるともっと楽しくなりますね！
その練習もかねて、やりたい子には先生役になって前に出てきてもらうこともあります。
次は、誰に先生になってもらおうかな…？

Winter jokes to warm the cold!
Here are some silly jokes to warm up the cold winter days.
What can you catch in the winter, even with your eyes closed? A cold.
What did the tree say after a long, cold winter? What a re-leaf!
What are little snowmen called? Chill-dren.
When does winter begin? When autumn leaves.
What is a snowman's favorite drink? Iced tea.
What do you call an old snowman? Water.
Sometimes a bit of silliness can brighten up the worst of days.
My students always have a way of being exactly that and make teaching fun!

Winter will come to an end soon, the weather will begin to warm and plants will start to grow again.
In my home, I have severall small plants that I look after, when I first planted them, they grew so fast!
But they have not changed at all for months now.
This is a little sad to see, but it isn`t a bad thing,it just means that they are dormant, waiting.
Sometimes things change very quickly in our lives and each day can feel like something entirely new, but sometimes can sit and be the same for a long while. It can feel frustrating because we don`t feel like we are making progress or growing. Try not to be too hard on yourself though, maybe you are just dormant, storing up energy for the spring when you will grow so much all at once.
Have patience with yourself, let yourself rest, even the tallest trees were little sprouts once!

Today is the Eiken exam!
Many of our students are hard at work today, taking their tests and showing what they can do.
I know that many of them have been working so hard, taking their time studying and reviewing and asking advice,
But I also know many of them are very nervous.
I have full faith that all of them will do excellently today!
remember everyone,

みなさんこんにちは！
本日は年少さんクラスのお話をいたします。
お話が大好きな女の子三人組。
'The Itsy-bitsy Spider'を練習して、自分でも歌えるようになってきました！
今ではクモの絵を見るとすぐにこの歌を歌います！
みんなで一緒に歌うのが楽しくて、'One more time!(もう一回)'とお願いをすることも多々あります。
ABCの歌も、大文字を指で追いかけながら歌えるようになってきています！
LMNOPのところは混ざりやすいのですが、みんな一生懸命に追っています。
これからもいろんな英語の歌を一緒に覚えていこうね！

Monthly Fun facts - January
As the month prepares to end soon, I thought it would be fun to look at some interesting and fun facts about the month of January.
The name of the month of January is derived from the Roman god Janus.
January 17 is Benjamin Franklin’s birthday. He was not only a world-renowned statesman, inventor, and scientist but was also fascinated by agriculture.
January 29 is the Chinese Lunar New Year.
In the Northern Hemisphere, January is the coldest month of the year in most regions.
January’s Moon is called the Wolf Moon.
January’s birthstone, the garnet, is thought to keep the wearer safe during travel.
January’s birth flowers are the carnation and snowdrop.

Recently I remembered a very good little idiom "A stitch in time saves nine"
This means it is better to fix something early, while it is a small problem
If your favourite shirt begins to have a small hole or tear, fix it now with one small stitch instead of waiting for it to become a larger hole that needs many stitches to fix.
Often it can feel easier to not deal with a problem right away, it feels too overwhelming and stressful so we want to leave it for later, but do not! fix a small problem now, while you have time to plan and time to ask others for advice, otherwise, you will have to stress and rush about trying to solve a problem that has become bigger and more urgent!
