Doing the most!
As a new week sets in, I am reminded of the students who always do the most!
Put in the most effort or Try the hardest in class.
One such student, is "K". She just moved into P1 this year from Baby D!
She is the most talkative of all my P1 students! She reads along with mom and I.
She tries so hard to remember and repeat all our vocabulary! She even understands "How are you!"
and can tell me all the emotions and pick the one she is feeling!
"The How are you song" is one of her favourites!
Last week we were learning about colours and fruits. She not only paired the colours and the fruit correctly,
but was able to even mix and match them! Mom and I were so impressed with her progress!
She even said "Green melon" all on her own. AMAZING!
She sings the songs and classroom chants along with me and mom, she repeats at story time! plays all our games and
even tries to ask questions! This little girl is always doing the most!

Sincerely, Me!
These past few weeks I have had the privelage to get to know many knew students in my lessons,
One of the ways I have done this is to exchange letters with my older students.
As well as a great way to get to know them and their interests, It is a wonderful way to practice reading and writing in English.
When I was younger, I had a pen pal in the USA, I wrote many letters to her and learned about her country and her life. I think it is a great opportunity for students to learn about life in other countries and ask questions they might not think about during class.
I hope everyone continues to enjoy it!

Colours and Fruits!
On Tuesday I had the pleasure of teaching two interesting P1 students. We were learning about colours and fruits!
"I" and "R" have such different personalities but they are so entertaining. As I had never taught them before I was
a bit nervous but I ultimately had a really good time with them! It certainly looked like they had fun too!
"I" was a bit sleepy and a little non-responsive at first but soon he was all smiles and speaking as much as he could.
He also made funny sounds and faces that had mom and I laughing so much! "Green Melon" and "Pink Peach" were the cutest as he said them with a big smile on his face!
"R" was such a champion! He repeated everything said and read to him with so much excitement! Even when I praised him he repetaed it!
His grandmother and I thought it was so funny, when he kept saying Good Job and Nice Work! It was hilarious!
He was able to remember almost all our colours and fruits together! I was really impressed!
Who knew learning about colours and fruits would be so much fun!

3歳さん、英語をたくさん話しています!
みなさんこんにちは!
今日は年少クラスのお話をいたします。
3歳のKちゃん。
今年から独り立ちをし、自分の力で頑張っています。
一回目のレッスンからとてもたくさん話をしてくれて、レッスンの中でも、'My name is 〇〇!'と大きな声で発表してくれました!
色の確認のパートも、自身のクレヨンを使いながら探したり、発話を楽しんでいます。
そして、聞きなれているABCの歌も、一緒に大きな声で歌ってくれました。
また少しずつ新しいレッスンに慣れていって、自分で発表できる文を増やしていきましょう!
