It’s good to be back after weeks of not publishing our blog due to website maintenance.
メンテナンス後、久しぶりのブログです✨
✅ Unit of Inquiry
We learned about the life cycle of different insects such as; snail, beetle, and dragonfly. We watched videos how insects’ life cycle develops. After watching each videos, Shooting Star students worked in cooperative learning by answering the worksheet and presenting it in class. Good collaboration occurred during the cooperative learning, everyone actively engaged. We did research of each insect-what they eat, where they live, what their colors are, how many legs and wings they have, etc. We learned new words from our study like chrysalis (the transformation of a butterfly from egg, to caterpillar, to chrysalis, and finally, adult). Another word that we’ve learned was nymph (the transformation of a dragonfly from egg, to nymph, and to dragonfly. We also learned the words larva, pupa, juvenile, hatching, etc. Then, we made a craft of each insect to bring our imagination to life and to develop our fine motor skills. Please take a look of the different activities we made. Good job, Shooting Star.
LOI2ではカタツムリ、カブトムシ、トンボなど、さまざまな生物のライフサイクルを学びました。
これらの生物がどの様にして育つのかビデオを見た後に、お友達と協力しながら生物が育つ過程を正しい順番に並び替え、みんなの前で発表をしました✨みんな積極的に協力し合う事が出来ました👏
また、これらの生物は何を食べるのか？どこに住んでいるのか？何色か？足や羽根はいくつあるかなどのリサーチをしました！リサーチをしながらhrysalis(さなぎ）nymph（とんぼの幼期）などたくさんの新しい言葉を学びました！この他にも larva, pupa, juvenile, hatching,などの言葉も学びました！
そして、生き物について学びながら、様々な素材や技法を使ってクラフトを楽しみました！
廊下に飾ってあるのでスクールの中に入って是非ご覧ください♩
✅ Phonics and Writing
We spent time reading the book, I Can Hop. Reading became easier for us as we practiced reading together. We could identify the op and the ot family words and were able to read them.
リーディングの時間では”I Can Hop.”の本を読んで過ごしています。読む練習をするうちにみんな上手に読むことが出来るようになってきました✨今週は”ot”と”op”を識別し読むことが出来ました👏
We practiced writing letters m, n, and o. After accomplishing the worksheet, we practiced more with a marker and a writing board. Some of Shooting Star students didn’t only practice writing the letters, but they practiced writing the words that they found in the classroom. Awesome 👏
ライティングでは小文字のm,n,oを書く練習しました！ワークシートをした後にホワイトボードを使って繰り返し書く練習をしました！何人かのお友達はｍ,n,oが付く単語をクラスの掲示物から探し書いていました！スバらしい👏
✅ Triangle Method
In Shooting Star class, we encouraged the students to eat in a triangle method. We eat rice, the main dish and side dishes little by little evenly. And we hold a plate of rice and a bowl of soup while eating. Little by little, we’ve learned how to do it.
クラスでは三角食べの練習を始めました！三角食べではご飯、主菜、副菜、スープを少しづつ順番に食べます。また、お皿を持って食べる事にも気を付けながらランチを食べています🍚
✅ Mud Play with Milky Way
We got the chance playing with Milky Way at the school yard with mud. Our main purpose was not only to enjoy playing with mud, but to get the chance to speak English with them.
今週はミルキーウェイのお友達と一緒に泥遊びをしました♩ミルキーウェイのお兄さんお姉さんたちと一緒に遊ぶことで一緒に英語で会話したり、遊びながら新しい英語での表現を学ぶことが出来ました✨
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
それではみなさん、よい週末をお過ごしください！
