☆our friend's birthday !! ☆

Hello , everyone ! At first We learned about basic grammars and pronunciations from songs that is gonna sing for show as always . Just tried to improve their all need skills for it . And Today was Mayuko and Yukako's birthday!! So we game them birthday song and we celebrated them a lot . And finally show is coming next week !! We work in midst of nervousness every day recently . 
Sometimes I realized that their mind went black throughout the practices , and They don't remember what They were going to say in practices . But We have been believing The more we practice the more we will be able to get it better and success . Every failure is a stepping stone that leads to success.
Can't wait to see them to be poised next week . 
We're in the homestretch now !! Let's just try harder ! And hope you guys have wonderful days and see you next time ! Take care !!

☆Today is Doll's Festival!☆

2017/03/06

Hey there Angel parents! What a wonderful day we had at Angelheart ♡

Today's word of the day was "focus". So many times while studying, lessons, and show practice, teachers have said "focus" to the kids. Even though the kids are still very small, it is SO important to teach concentration and finishing a given task in a given time. This is why we make sure the kids keep playtime and time to focus very distinct and clear. Playing & focusing/learning are equally important(^ω^)

☆March is Here!(^-^)☆

Hello everyone!

How is everybody doing??

The Angel kids are working so hard for the graduation show! Thank you mommies & daddies for providing beautiful costumes! Now, they're even more in character and excited to play their parts.

I truly believe doing the play has helped the kids so much with pronunciation and vocabulary building. I have heard them using words from the play during normal play time SO many times (*´꒳`*)

Take a look at your wonderful children working hard to play fairies, animals, and other magical characters!

☆ The practice show and short activity games ☆

2017/02/25

Hello , everyone ! So getting warmer and warmer day by day . At the same time as Show is now drawing near , children have gradually come to brace them up . I applaud their effort that They want to do it much better by practicing hard. And we struggle to improve of pronunciation , memorization of English sentences and speaking English of their own accord , not at the instance of us teachers . They're already doing amazingly . They have considerable potential of growth . And they could practice with friends , making fun and laughing. Also could switch themselves from practicing to playing. They grow up so quickly . Let's keep trying again next week . Then see you again soon ! Take care and have a good weekend !! (^ ^)

☆study about Martin Luther King Jr. and practice for show ☆

2017/02/16

Hello, everyone ! We've studied about Martin Luther King Jr. . And tried to write what is your dream for yourself , for the world and for the community . It is a very difficult for such a topic like this . But It is important for us to learn about events and people that changed the course of history . I'm going to write down one of his quote here just in case . 
 
"Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice" 
 
And after that I've practiced for show . Singing songs and dancing . I saw the their best performance Ever . We'll try harder to get much better though . Then see you next time !! Have a nice day !!

☆Let's practice for the show☆

2017/02/07

発表会に向けて、子ども達は毎日一生懸命、練習に取り組んでいます。
今回の発表会は、卒園式を別日程で行うこともあり、予定になかった”劇”を取り入れることになりました!
今回は、一歩踏み出して、今までとは違う観点からキャストを決めてイチから子ども達と一緒に進めています。毎日の練習の中で、覚えるセリフやお歌・スピーチなどが多く、本当に大変だと思いますが弱音をいう子は1人もいません。パパ・ママ達を驚かせたいと、あえてお家では何も練習せず、園でのみ、頑張る姿は、見ていて本当に立派です(@-@)
そんな中にも、pley timeでのゲームやお歌で楽しそうにはしゃぐ姿は、とても微笑ましいです(^-^)
これからも、引き続き目標に向かって、みんなで進んでいきますので、お家でのサポートもどうぞよろしくお願い致します。
それでは、みんなの様子をどうぞ(^-^)/

☆We learned about Italy☆

2017/02/02

We started by making two new very important posters together for the classroom... The first is our "day of the word" song poster and our RULES poster. 

We have incorporated a new style of vocabulary building for the Sophie kids. We sing the "Word of the Day" song! Today was our first time, but we sang it more than 5 times AT LEAST so, the kids must have memorized it by now. The words go like this...

There was a word of the day and BUMP was the  B-U-M-P, B-U-M-P,   B-U-M-P & BUMP was the word♪Good evening to all!! Today was a super duper exciting day at Angel! ٩( ᐛ )و

☆真剣な表情で向き合っています☆

2017/01/28

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(^-^)/

☆目標に向かって走り出しました(^-^)☆

2017/01/25

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!

☆We had a lots of fun☆

2017/01/24

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! ♪

☆We learned World study☆

2017/01/17

 

Grammar: introduced the verb: am, is, are, was, were their differences and proper use in a sentence. Though it was just an introduction, I was impressed by how some students learned quick about it. Even did half of exercise and will continue next time.

"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.
