Hello Amity Mito students and families! ✧。٩(ˊᗜˋ )。*✧
October is a busy month for schools in Japan! Around this time of year, many students are taking part in Sports Day (運動会) or other school activities. From relay races and dancing to team games and cheering, these events are a wonderful chance for students to work together and support one another. Sports Day is also connected with Sports Day, the national holiday, on October 12 this year.
This week, try asking someone,
"What was your favorite event at Sports Day?" It is a fun way to talk about school experiences while practicing English.
You might hear answers like,
"I liked the relay race," "I enjoyed the dance," "I liked cheering for my team," or "I liked the ball game." Some students may even say,
"I was nervous, but I had fun!" That is a great answer too!
Students, remember that you don't have to win to feel proud. Trying your best, helping your teammates, and cheering for your friends are all important parts of Sports Day. Parents, asking
"What did you enjoy?" instead of only asking about the result can help children focus on their experience and effort.
At Amity Mito, we believe that teamwork is an important part of learning English too. Listening to others, encouraging friends, and communicating clearly are skills we can use both in the classroom and outside of it.
Amity Mito Weekly Thought:
What is something you are proud of doing at school recently? It could be winning a race, helping a friend, speaking English, or simply trying something difficult.
If you have a question about English, school, or even your teacher's favorite Sports Day event, try asking in English during your lesson. You might just earn a special sticker for your effort!
Sincerely,
Your English Teachers at Amity Mito (๑>◡<๑)
