皆さんこんにちは！
今日は年少クラスのお話をいたします。
年少さんの女の子3人組。
お話がとっても大好きで、いつもいろんなお話を聞かせてくれます。
孫入精が多いこのクラスですが、最近のレッスンでは、天気や感情を単語単位でなく、文章でスムーズに言えるようになりました！
そして、今は"〇〇 is bigger."という文章を練習しているのですが、みんな自分の力で文章を言えるようになっています。
レッスン中はなるべく英語を使わずに、受け答えもYes/Noで答えてくれることがほとんどです！
まだ早いかなと思われている皆さん、言語は早ければ早いほど、発音がとてもよかったり、耳が良くなります。
迷われている方も一緒に英語をお話ししましょう！

Many of our students will be writing their Eiken tests this Sunday!
I know a lot of my students expressed how nervous they were, and I have been trying hard to calm them down.
My student "Y" and I came up with a song for good luck to sing for such things...
It was a fun and silly moment in our lesson last week but I hope, maybe it can help!
"gambatte, gambatte, you can do it, you can do it! gambatte, gambatte, you are awesome, you are awesome!"
Even though the words may be simple, doing your best is the most important thing!
The result is the bonus, the effort is the prize!
I am proud of all the students who are writing and I wish them the best of luck!
You can do it!

One of the fun things about teaching children again is entertaining them with magic tricks. Of course this doesn’t happen in the lesson, but as a lobby activity to generate conversation.
I’ve been doing magic since I was a young boy. For sure, magic is entertaining and surprising but some magic tricks have an educational value too.
Here’s one which is good for numbers and addition.
Think of a number, multiply it by 2, add ten, divide by two and subtract the original number.
The number you are left with will always be 5!
By doing this trick, the children are not only having a fun time but learning vocabulary such as “multiply” and “divide” and “subtract” - Michael
It`s finally Fall, or Autumn, now and the weather is cooling down a little.
Many students have expressed relief at the end of the heat, and I must say I agree.
The change in season brings with it a change in feelings too, In summer people love fruits, sweets and light noodles like soba, but in fall and winter its better to eat heartier, heavier foods like vegetables and stews.
Fall also brings with it the changing of the leaves, Japan is almost as famous for the beautiful golds and reds of the Japanese Maple leaves as it is for the soft pink Cherry Blossoms in spring! so make sure you take time to enjoy the beautiful world around you!

みなさんこんにちは！
本日は中学生の文法レッスンでのお話をいたします。
中3の4人組。
とても仲が良く、「文法」という座学をしながらもいつも活気にあふれています。
グループで文法を学ぶいいところは、自身で理解したものをほかの友達に「教える」というアウトプットができることです。
もちろん習った文法で英作文をしたり、少し英会話をして楽しいアウトプットの時間もあります！
まずは自分が理解しないと人には教えることはできないので、自身の理解力を高めるためにもこれからもアウトプットを続けていきましょう！
そして、このクラスでは、お互いに理解しあったことを教えあったり、「わからないことはすぐに聞く」ということが習慣づいています。
疑問をすぐに解決することで、より正確に理解ができるので、みなさんも何か気になることがあればすぐに先生たちに聞いてくださいね！
いつでも待っています！

My Baby O student, "T" has been a wonderful addition to my student roster.
She is such a sweet child, who doesn't makes a fuss and engages
with the lesson so well. She has such an interresting energy.
Recently we had another student "R" come and trial with us and hopefully
she will be signing up with us permanately.
They get a long so well and the class is fun and lively.
They each are responding well to the class atmosphere and
picking up small cues. Oh, these babies are such cutie pies!
Every lesson is filled with laughter and progress!

Along with teaching children, I also continue to teach the adult students that I was teaching at Aeon before it merged with Amity.
I've been helping them develop their English skills for about 4 years now, which means we've built up a strong relationship and are familiar with each other's lives.
I was touched recently then when some students expressed concern for my safety following the sad news of a walkers' death on a mountain I regularly hike. It was some kind of tragic accident I think, as the route is not at all dangerous.
Their concern exemplifies the communal nature of a school and that the relationship of student and teacher being akin to friendship. - Michael.
One way that I help some of my older students to practice their English is by being their Pen-Pal.
Each week these students write a letter to me, and I will write them a reply.
These letters are a great way to practice not only their reading and writing, but also their narrative and conversational grammar. The letters can be about any topic as well.
Some of my students write to me about their vacations, telling me how they visit family and the delicious food they got to eat.
One student and I have started exchanging spooky stories and folk tales because we discovered we both find them so much fun, and there are so many we can compare from different cultures.
Yet another student has been sharing her art with me, and her excitement to soon practice digital art.
Alongside helping them to practice their English, exchanging these letters gives me a chance to know my students more personally and tailor the language I teach them to their interests.
I keep each letter the students send me as a way to look back and see how they have improved, I hope that they will also be able to look back on the letters and appreciate their growth and the fun of having a pen pal!
