Last month my junior high students were talking about their dreams and goals for the future.
Did you know that the word dream has more than one meaning?
DREAM [ dreem ]
1) Images, feelings and events that happen in your head while you are asleep. 🛌😴💭->⛷🦞🎬👽
2) A wish to be or have somethings, especially something difficult to achieve. 🤔💭->🧑🏻🚀 🚴♀️🥇 💰💷
3) A strange situation or state of mind which does not seem real or part of normal life. 🏖 🌨️☃️☀️ ->😵
Have you ever had any strange dreams?

Destination: VACATION
🚆🗺Fastest route: 1H:30M
🚞🗺Scenic route: 4H:10M
Have you ever been on a journey to a place, but rather than taking the fastest route, you decided to take the longer and more beautiful route?
In English we call this 'taking the scenic route'.
Sometimes it is nice to take the scenic route, the journey is just as important as the destination!
Have fun traveling!

小学校5年生のMちゃんが夏休みが始まって早々、もうこの宿題たちが終わった！と報告しに来ました。普段は忙しくて中々進めることが難しかったアミティーの宿題も、時間に余裕がある夏休みに沢山やると約束してくれました！来週どのくらいできたか見るのが楽しみです♪

Did you know that August 1 is Spider-man day? August 1 1962 was the first time Spider-man appeared in a comic book. Spider-man is my favorite superhero. He is smart, funny and kind. I would like to have his powers.
My students like many anime heroes. The most popular super power that my students would like is the ability to be extremely intelligent.
Which superhero do you like and what super power would you like to have?

Most students started their summer vacations last week.
Summer is my favorite season. Even though it is very hot, there are many ways to keep cool and enjoy yourself. During summer vacation, I like to go to the beach, hang out with friends and eat alot of ice cream. I recently tried shaved ice in Japan. It was delicious and refreshing.
What are you going to do during Summer vacation?

Do you know what onomatopoeia is?
Onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like the thing it describes.
Here are some of my favourite onomatopoeia words:
Bang! 💣💥 (Used to describe explosions)
Pitter-patter. 🌧☔️ (Used to describe the sound of rain or small children running)
Bling! ✨💎🌟 (Used to describe light or shiny things)
Clickety-clack. 🚂🚋 (Used to describe the sound of old trains)
Can you think of any onomatopoeia words?

小学校1年生の仲良し3人組は、この夏もインタラクティブセミナーに来てくれています。先日1回目のレッスンだったのですが、みんな慣れた様子で取り組む姿に驚きました。1年生になり、少し難しいアクティビティーを進めていますが、真剣にパソコンに向き合い、クリアしていましたね。今回も様々なことを吸収できるのを楽しみにしています！

英語が大好きな年少さんのRくんは、レッスンの中でこれは英語でなんて言うの？とよく聞いてくれていたのですが、先日から日本語ではなく英語で"What's this?"と聞けるようになりました！言い方がわかると、嬉しそうにリピートしてくれて、先生も嬉しいです♪
