It is hard to believe that the school year is almost over!
Some students will be retrning, some will be leaving us,
and some will be changing courses!
It has been an interesting year, filled with many ups and downs!
I have bonded and gotten very close to a lot of my students!
I am so glad, that I will still be teaching many of them! For the new students,
I am excited! Seeing and meeting new faces always makes me happy!
For those that will be leaving, it will be sad to see them go! I have such great memories and
I will definitely miss them!
It is almost time, and we are getting ready!

This week has been very exciting for everyone, Our students are graduating, many are off to travel and experience the world, and the cherry blossoms have started to bloom.
I`ve had many exciting conversations with everyone about what they like to do during Spring Vacation, something I didn`t really get to experience last year.
I`ve learned a lot from them all too, telling me about Hanami and the festivals that happen this time of year, and I especially have learned about today, White day.
It`s not celebrated in any other country so I was very happy to have my students explain it to me, it sounds lovely!

みなさんこんにちは！
今日は幼児クラスのレッスンについてお話いたします。
年長さんの4人組。
今は色と形を中心に学習しています。
毎週確認している、'It's a/an 色 物の名前.'は自然と口から出てきます。
そしてその答える速さがとても速い！！！
今年の初めは、ゆっくりでも正確に答えていたのが、今では正確にすぐに答えることができるので、より自然なスピードの英会話ができています。
次は小学生。
もっと会話が楽しくなるように、質問文もたくさん練習していきましょうね！

A fun game, I have started in my classes, called I bet,
seems to be quite the hit with all my Junior and Senior Highschool students!
It's a fun way to get the students to engage with eachother, using English prompts and
phrases. We bet tokens on whose card will be the highest or lowest.
Bets can even be placed on who could end up with the same cards.
Saturday was one of the best games, as one students cleared out 2 of his classmates of their coloured tokens.
It was a very funny lesson, I must say! I am happy the students are enjoying it!

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!
