Rainforest (July 8th-12th)

Greetings,
This was a good week we used to learn more in class. Everyone worked well together when asked to which was great to see and it was also great to see the students do things on their own without needing to be asked, such as help others.
RF保護者の皆様
今週もとても良い週でした。生徒達は仲良く一緒に学び、自主的にクラスメートを手助けできる様子が伺えてとても嬉しいです。
In phonics we looked at how to identify words in reading as well as word endings. We looked at endings such as -s, -ed- ing, -er and how to read them. We also looked how -ed can be said different ways depending how the word is written, such as played, stopped, added and how the ending sound changes. We also read books that used the word endings and practiced reading.
フォニックスでは本を読みながら単語を探す練習をしました。語尾が s, ed, ing, erでなる単語を探し出し、意味と読み方を本を読みながら学びました。edで終わる単語でも発音が違う単語があることも学びました。

In UOI, we looked at more parts of Japanese culture. We looked at famous Japanese paintings and other artwork. Using this example, we made artwork based off the creation the students chose. It also looked at Japanese fans and their importance as well as made our own fan. Additionally, we looked at sumo and its importance. The students liked making the crafts, like the sumo and getting to be creative.
UOIでは、引き続き日本の文化について探求しました。日本の有名な画家の作品を見て感じたことを話し合い、その作品のテクニックを使い自分の絵を絵の具で描いたりしました。日本のアートの中のひとつ、扇子についても学びました。クラフトでは、自分の扇子も作りました。相撲についても話しました。

The students had fun in gym. We began practicing for sports festival and learning some of the things we need to do for the festival. It was a good first practice and we will get better.
ジムではスポーツフェスティバルの練習を始めました。これからスポーツフェスティバルに向けて一生懸命練習していく予定です。

Thank you,

良い3連休をお過ごし下さい!
