Last week I was speaking to one of my students about hobbies and art, and she told me about how she and her friend want to study fashion design.

We spoke about design and fashion, about travelling to places like Paris and Milan, and even what kind of clothes we like to wear.

You truly nex\ver see someone lif\ght up quite the same way as when they get to talk about something they love, and I think it`s so amazing seeing students take what they know and put it towards what they love as a way to express themselves further!

We@ve now entered Febuary and Valentines day is fast approaching,
Everywhere I go is pink and hearts, and many of my students have told me happily about their plans to do baking and make chocolates with or for their friends.

In Australia, Valentines day is a holiday saved almost entirely for couples, and doesn`t recieve much fanfare, but Here in Japan I see it treated as such a light hearted holiday and chance to express care and love to all your friends, especially paired with White Day! A holiday that exists only here in Japan!

I can`t wait to hear more about the sweet(haha!) gestures and activities everyone will get up to this month

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…？

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!

Many congratulations to all the students who took the Eiken test at the school recently.

Thank you for your hard work.

Best wishes, Michael.

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,
