2017年1月：中野・杉並区の幼児・子ども向けの英語教室・英会話幼稚園（プリスクール）：エンジェルハート

今日は、朝からとっても暖かかったですね(^-^)

こんな陽気が毎日続いてくれれば・・と思ってしまいます（笑）

さて、今日は全員でダンスの練習をしました☆

久しぶりの合わせでしたが、ソロパート含むすべてのステップがしっかりとできていました☆

発表会では、ダンスだけでなくお歌・劇などたくさんの練習を分刻みでこなしながら頑張っています(^-^)

どうか、温かく見守ってあげてください(^-^)/

寒い毎日が続いていますね(>-<)　お風邪などひいていませんか？

3月の発表会・卒園式典に向けての練習が本格的に始まり、レッスンの合間にダンスのステップを練習する子や、お歌のソロパートを先生と一緒に練習する子がいたりと、それぞれが目標に向かって走り出しました。

年長さんは、今までになかったダンスでのソロパートもあり、今まで見たことのないような真剣な表情で先生のお話しを聞き入っていました。

今日は、私もそんな子ども達を見て「1年前とはお話しを聞く姿勢・表情・集中力がずいぶん変わったな」と、しみじみ感じながら写真を撮っていました。

毎年、年長さんが卒園していくのは嬉しくもあり、寂しさもあります。「あと〇〇日したら、ランドセル背負って、小学校に行くの」と話している声を聞くと、少し複雑な気持ちにもなります。進む道は違いますが、みんなで過ごした楽しい思い出はいつまでも覚えていてほしいと思います。

年長さんにとっては、卒園前の最後の練習になりました。

みんなで心をひとつにして、頑張りましょう！

Hello all!!! Brr... it's freezing outside, but no problem for the Angel kids! Energetic as ever, learning, laughing, singing, & playing nonstop! I can't help but feel warm inside and out watching them enjoy their day. It's really not an exageration to say the childrens' energy saves me from the cold & dreary winter days.

Enough about winter coldness! Today, we learned many new vocabulary and topics, starting with speed, animals, comparitives, & superlatives. The kids had to order the things from slowEST to fastEST. Or in other words, who's slowER & fastER. (These are superlative & comparitives) Later we played a game with slow, fast, stop while pretending to be various animals like snails, bunnies, penguins!

After lots of singing, dancing, and word games we learned about Thailand to end the day. Learning about other countries, cultures, and languages enables us to reflect on our own country as well as compare and contrast English speaking countries. We learned words such as coconut, elephant-riding, Buddhism, religion, flag, and map. It's always a joy to see the children so interested in other countries. To finish off the lesson, they made elephants with colorful mats on top to show how they are ridden in Thailand. They all turned out beautiful & unique, just like each indivdual child.

Now, take a look at their wonderful creations and other pictures from today's English learning adventure! ♪

Hello, everyone ! It's getting cold these days .but every kids are doing fine that does not have a cold feel !! today we had the craft class that kids like . we made a new year'glasses and draw fireworks by using origami and paints. they have their own unique attractions in each expression .looking forward to next a claft lesson !! then see you !

"Seasons and Weather"

They were asked to close their eyes and imagine what activities they do during the mentioned weather and try to act it out and describe it using their 5 senses. The kids had fun not just remembering their activities during the said weather/ season, but it also practiced their improvisation skills. 

I asked them to play "Memory Game" and some even asked to play more than the alloted time. It was one of their favorites.

During phonics, they learned about Medial Letter Aa; their proper pronunciation and answered the seatwork altogether. The seatwork was an exercise on how to comprehend a sentence with the question being asked. 

        

 

本年も、どうぞよろしくお願い致します☆
