みなさんこんにちは！
本日は、小学校高学年、プライベートレッスンの参観についてお話いたします。
小6のKくん、プライベートレッスンなので、いろんな話を英語でしています。
お昼に何を食べたか。週末何をしたか。その日習った国に行きたいか。そこで何をしたいかなどなど…
過去形を積極的に使って、英語で返答してくれています！
文章作成もスムーズに！
そして、文章の読みはほぼ100%一人ですべて読めます。素晴らしい！
今回は家族についてのお話だったので、お母様と、一緒に暮らす家族だけでなく、おじさんやおばさん、親戚まで話を広げてもらいました！
プライベートならではの参観でしたね！
引き続き読み練習、頑張りましょう！

Yesterday was the last day of Parental Observations!
Thank you to all the parents and guardians who took the time to come and observe our lessons over the past two weeks.
It has been a pleasure having all of you in our classes! While some of the students were shy and nervous about it,
I know they were thrilled to show off what they have learned since the last vist!
We hope that everyone was pleased with the progress the students have made, as much as we are.
Learning a new language is very challenging and the students do their best, every lesson!
Thank you for coming over and having fun with us.
We look forward to having you over for another visit next year!

It can be a bit scary moving into a new class where everyone is already friends,
Doubly so when you can`t easily ask for help in your own language.
Despite this, I have two students in my elementary class who have only been with us for a few weeks now, `T` and `Y` have both joined halfway through the year into a large group that know each other well.
`T` settled very quickly, recognizing some students from school, but he was very shy to speak and often lets the other, more experienced students speak over him, however more recently he has begun to speak up clearer and clearer, We got to show mom during the observations how much he can already say and do.
`Y` has had it a little harder, she didn`t know anyone in the class, and is very clever but quiet in a very loud group, But I have been very happy to see her open up, connect with a classmate and have fun in lessons. Now every time I see her she has a cheerful smile on her face and excitedly greets me and her classmates.
I look forward to seeing both come out of their shells more and be the wonderful, confident students I know they can be.

It's hard saying goodbye and even harder when the time spent seems to be so short. One of my favourite students has left to focus on studying for her University entrance exam in a couple months. Friday was the second lesson without her and it feels somewhat strange. Even the other students have begun to feel the absence of "M". She is a very smart, capable and interesting student. Her insights during our free conversations will surely be missed. Her epic fashion sense too! I have bought 2 outfits based on her recommendations! I am hoping to keep the spirit of our lively classes intact, but it is difficult, when you've molded the class dynamic a certain way.
Changes are hard, but they are also new opportunities to make things better! I hope she knows how proud we all are of her!
I know she will do well and definitely succeed in pursuing her dreams and becoming just as outstanding as she was at Amity!

In the past few weeks, one of my younger students has been very confused, her classmate has moved to another lesson and she is now the only student in her class.
Despite this, `K` has been forever focused on her English, she asks in English "Where is ----?" and then keeps busy with her homework while she waits.
Once class starts K seems a little lonely but she has definitely like having the extra talking time, we can play games for longer and she gets more time to work on her pronunciation.
Because of this K has shown a lot of progress in only two weeks, and We hope that Mom will be very excited to see it during her Observation lesson.
Sometimes studying alone can be lonely, but sometimes it can be very helpful.

みなさんこんにちは！
今日は木曜日の幼児クラスのお話をいたします。
今年年中のMくんとNちゃん。
前回の参観日では少し恥ずかしくていつもより静かだった二人が、今回の参観日では、たくさんいいところを見せてくれました！
お天気のパートもsunnyやwindyといった文字だけでカードを見つけ、こうぶんの"It's a 色 乗り物."の文章を一人で完璧に言えました！
これには参加してくださった保護者の皆様もびっくり！
普段からたくさん練習してきてよかったです！
これからもお父さん・お母さんにいいところ見せましょうね！！！

Having new additions to clases unexpectedly, can be very nerve-wrecking for some students and even for teachers.
I have had the pleasure of welcoming a new student to my kindergarten class in the last two weeks. "K" is such a sweet, clever and quiet student. My other two students were surpised at first, but I am quite surprised to see how well they are welcoming her into our class. She has even shared in one of our jokes. My student "S" likes to climb on my back while I mark homework, and "K" was so alarmed. I asked her frantically. "Please Save me", then I started laughing. Her surprise, turned into a fit of giggles, which got the other two laughing as well. She has slowly started coming out of her shell. Perhaps this is the start of her being more comfortable in our class.
Sometimes it"s the unexpected that can have the most suprising, yet wonderful results.

On Saturday I had Parent observation class for one of my Superstar classes `K1`, `F` and `K2`.
Everyone was very excited to have parents in the class to show them what we learned.
K2, our little boy, felt a bit shy and had trouble staying focused, but once he saw K1 and F saying the sentence, and saying them very well, he was quick to join in and give his answer.
We learned about Vegetables and made some soup together, and I was delighted to hear them ask the full question "What Vegetable do you like, Mom?" and remember their Pleases and Thank You`s.
All three are doing a great job with their speaking and the beginnings of writing, I think they`ll all be more than ready for P2 lessons next year.

みなさんこんにちは！
今月11月より、日曜日の開校が決定いたしました！
今までスケジュールで悩まれていた方は是非この機会にお問い合わせください！
また、お買い物中にレッスンをしながらお子様をお預かりいたしますので、どの年代の方もお気軽にどうぞ！
早速ですが、日曜日の小学校高学年クラスのお話をいたします！
前回のレッスンでは、He/Sheとdoes, hasの三単現を使ったレッスンで、お父さん(father)が出てきたのですが、その際に「パピー！」と言っていた子がいて、パピーはpuppy(子犬)という意味もあるという話で盛り上がりました！
また、ワークブックのパートで、皆さんが自力で解ける問題が増えてきています！
素晴らしい👏
これからも一緒に頑張りましょう！
