This time of year so many of our students are taking the leap and going on adventures.
Yesterday marked my last lesson with on of my brightest students `H` before her trip to my home country, Australia.
All year she has workd incredibly hard building her conversation skills, she clever and funny and incredibly polite, so I know she will have no trouble handling the big, loud city she is visiting.
The last few lessons we have taken time to talk about what the country is like and she has talked about how excited she is to try the strange and interesting food we eat, I can`t wait to hear all about the adventures she has!

みなさんこんにちは!
今日はTOEIC Bridge対策レッスンのお話をいたします。
高1のSくん。
現在3月のTOEIC Bridgeに向けて練習中です。
特にパート4の文法や語彙問題を中心に、読みの強化レッスンをしています。
文法レッスンで習っている文法の復習をしながら問題を解いているので、より深く理解することができます。
宿題として残りの問題を出したところ、練習の成果もあって倍以上の点数を取ることができていました!
パート5の長文は、重要な個所を見つけ出すのが得意なので、速読即解の力をつけていきましょう!
今回の目標は80点以上。
今後就活や留学などで必要となるTOEICに向けて、さらに練習を重ねていきましょう!

Yesterday and today was the graduation ceremonies of alot of our third year junior highschool students!
My student "Y" was espcially excited to tell me that it was his graduation yesterday and that he was free at last!
"K" was very sleepy as she had to help with the graduation ceremony, she is such a sweet and kind soul!
My last student "Y" was excited because today was her graduation day!
Well done to all our Third year Junior Highschool students!
Enjoy the day and be proud of yourself for completing Junior Highschool!
Next stop, Highschool!

This week I had the delight of meeting a new Baby D student. `R` is an absolute firecracker in class, he was so excited for the lesson and jumped up for every song, was fascinated by every prop and very proudly repeated every word he could.
He loves singing and dancing and isn`t at all shy about being silly alongside his mom and teacher, I can tell that our Tuesday classes are going to be an absolute blast together.
I hope that `R` and Mom have just as much fun in our lessons every week as we all did this week.

My most funny and eventful lessons are always with my Baby classes!
Especially the ones on Tuesday and Fridays!
Students "K" and "K" are the most hilarious kids that I teach. Both on the Baby D level,
they never fail to make me chuckle. The new song for this unit is Head, Shoulders,
knees and toes and they both had the most interesting reactions!
Student "K" on Tuesday could not stop singing and dancing.
She did such a great job, touching the right body parts!
She was really excited and we sang the song 4 times!
Student "K" on Friday was even funnier, he sat down and
pointed to the correct places. When asked if he wanted to sing again or stand up,
he looked me and mom in the eye and said no! He is tired!
I look forward to seeing how both my "K" babies act in class this week!

One of my former students, has returned to Amity for a few seminars to prepare for her trip to Canada.
We covered some basic manners in yesterday's seminar and today we'll cover some useful phrases for directions.
I am so proud of her for taking the leap! Traveling for the first time to a
country where the language is still a bit foreign can be so difficult but definitely rewarding!
Today is her last seminar before she leaves on Saturday!
I hope she knows that we all believe in her and that she will make the most out of her month in Canada!
"C" has always been an exceptional student and I have all the faith in her!

This week has been a very exciting week for lesson plans, our teachers are beginning to prepare our Spring seminars and we have a treat for everyone this year!
Amity will be holding an Egg Hunt, in our seminars we will practice a very old tradition, painting eggs! then students will get the chance to take part in an egg hunt and search high and low for these pretty, decorated treats.
Easter is a lot of fun and many countries around the world view it as a symbol of new starts and life, If it sounds fun, why not join us and learn all about it!

みなさんこんにちは!
今日はインタラクティブレッスンにつきましてお話いたします。
小3のOちゃん。
英会話もインタラクティブレッスン(パソコン)も一生懸命通ってくれています。
今は英検5級に向けて読みの練習中…
フォニックスのドリルで学んだことをレッスンにも生かしています。
例えば、sh,u,brという三つの単語の塊と、くしの絵があります。
What's this?の質問に対し、It's a brush.と答えた後、自分で並べ替えて正しいスペルを見つけます。
Oちゃんはフォニックスをたくさん練習してきたので、これがすごく得意です!
みなさんもフォニックスを練習して、読める単語を増やしていきましょう!

Last week was a week of trial lessons for me and I am very happy that both students signed up!
One was a Junior Highschool student "M" and the other was a cute little lower P3 "A".
It was so interesting having both these experiences in the same week.
Both girls were so much fun to teach and each had their own charm.
This made me realize how much it takes to be a good tacher!
How you have to adjust and direct your attitude, patience and energy depending on the student.
You need to keep them motivated but most importantly...Make them smile!
Keeping them smiling and happy as well engaged is what makes a teacher I think.
I hope both girls keep smiling as they start their journey at Amity!
