Rainforest (August 19th – 23rd)

Hello, welcome back from vacation. I hope everyone had a good and restful time. I hope everyone is rested and ready to return to school. This week we got readjusted to school life and did review as well as continue our UOI unit we are currently studying.
RF保護者の皆様へ
お盆休みはしっかり充電できたでしょうか?
In phonics this week we reviewed the different ways of using words when reading or writing. We practiced by being in groups and each student would pick words from a book to give to their partner. Then by sounding out the word and from listening to the partner, the student had to spell the word as best they could. After spelling the word the student would show what they spelled and the partner would help correct the word if spelled wrong. Then they would switch sides and then continue.
フォニックスでは本を読んだり文章を書いたりするときに使うさまざまな単語の使い方を復習しました。グループに分かれて本から単語を探し出し、パートナーに口頭で伝え、それをパートナーが書き、二人で協力して答え合わせをするアクティビティをしました。

In UOI this week we continued our lesson of roles and responsibilities. We finished the paper dolls we began before break. Then the students would have to share with the class what role their puppet does in the community and what is their responsibility. They got further practice by listening to short stories in class and then raise their puppet when they hear their puppets role being talked about in class. We also looked at responsibilities and why they are at important. We talked about and shared responsibilities that we have to do at home and at school by drawing them and making a picture of it. Then we collected our shared responsibilities and placed them on a class responsibility wall.
UOIでは引き続き、役割と責任について学びました。休み前に始めた紙袋の人形を完成させて、自分が選んだ職業の役割と責任をロールプレイングでクラスに発表しました。「責任」が何なのか、なぜ大切なのかについてクラスで話し、家とスクールでの自分たちの責任について絵を描きクラスでシェアしました。

In gym class we exercised and continued our practice for sports festival. We also began to practice some of the sports, like relay race, that we will do during the sports festival. It was great to see the energy the showed in practice. At tennis practice we had fun remembering the basics of good tennis skills with everyone. Everyone had fun hitting the ball with everyone in class.
ジムでは9月に行うスポーツフェスティバルのための練習を続けています。今週から年長さんの初めてのリレーの練習も始めました。練習でしたがとても盛り上がりました!テニスでは基本の動きをしっかり練習し、ラケットを持ってボールを打つのを楽しみました。
