During one of my lessons with a junior high school student, we tried an activity which tested our abilty to give and follow instructions. Our goal was to build a spaceship using Lego. However, only one person could see the diagrams on the instruction sheet. That person was the instructor and the other person was the builder. After a while, the roles changed. First, my student started building the model. She followed my instructions easily, and made quick progress. When the roles changed, my student gave clear, smooth instructions. She was able to tell me exactly how and where each piece should go. In the end, it took us just over 10 minutes to build a spaceship together! 🚀
I think my student's abilty to give clear instructions might be better than mine! Are you able to give clear instructions?

10月からインタラクティブレッスンも受けることになった年中さんのCちゃん。教室に入ってクラスメイトのお友達に"Hello!"と元気よくあいさつをしていました。おうちでマウスを使ったことがあるようで、スムーズにアクティビティーに取り組むことができましたね。それに音声の後に続いてリピートも大きな声でできました。これからたくさんの単語が出てくるので、一緒に覚えていきましょう！

小学校２年生のMくんと、テキストにあるイラストを使ってQ&Aをしていた時、"How many ～?"の質問にMくんが答えた後、すぐに自分で考えて"How many plates are there?"と問題を出してくれました。最近読む力だけでなく、文章を組み立てる力がついてきたと感じていましたが、質問文も作れるとは驚きでした。次のレッスンでもぜひ問題を出してください！

Recently, my kindergarten students have been learning about liking different kinds of foods. They learnt "Do you like cookies" "Yes, I do / No, I don't", and "Does he/she like cookies?" "Yes, he/she does / No, he/she doesn't".
They were easily able to tell me the different kinds of foods that they liked, as well as the food they didn't like.
I learnt that all my students like cookies, juice and milk. Some students like grapes and kiwis. What really surprised me though, is that one of my students didn't like ice cream and chocolate. He prefers healthy food like fruit and vegetables!
How about you? What kinds of food do you like?
