Welcome to Rainbow’s third blog of this month. The week began with everyone suffering from a serious case of Monday blues but as the week progressed everyone was back to their normal jovial selves again. The highlight of the week was the birthday party for those born in August.
レインボークラスのブログへようこそ！今週はとてもシリアスなマンデーブルーから始まりました。が長いお休みからスクール生活に戻り、泣いてしまうお友達がたくさんいました。今週のハイライトは、8月生まれさんのお誕生日会でした！
Welcome new friends from Meadow class
We kicked off the week by welcoming M and E from Meadow class. As can be expected in the case where students move to an unfamiliar environment and begin to forge new friendships, it’s been a bit tough for them. Luckily Rainbow is a warm and fun environment where they will soon feel like they belong. For now we plan to take it easy with them, one step at a time as they adjust to being part of a new class. Here’s to creating nice memories together as a modified class!
Meadowクラスから２名のお友達、EちゃんとMちゃんがRainbowクラスに加わりました。慣れた環境から新しいところへの移動は少々難しいと思いますが、早く慣れてくれるように声掛けをしたり一緒に遊んだりみんなで心がけています！Rainbowのお友達もとっても優しく受け入れてくれています。慣れるまで焦らず見守っていこうと思います。そしてRainbowクラスでの楽しい思い出を増やせていけたらいいなと思います。
Birthday party
On Thursday we celebrated the birth of all our schoolmates who were born in August. From our class, one boy F, turned 3 on the 5th of August. He is such an intelligent and sweet little boy. We hope that turning 3 means that he gains tripple the wisdom he already has. May he continue to be kind and caring towards his classmates and teachers!A very happy birthday to you F!!!!!
木曜日はISN全体で８月生まれさんのお誕生会を開きました。Rainbowクラスからは、１名の男の子が３歳になり、主役として参加しました。とっても優しく、そしてとっても賢い男の子です！３歳になることの意味は大きく、きっとこれまでの願いが何倍にもなって自分の物になるのだと思います。これからもクラスメートや先生に優しいFくんでありますように！お誕生日、おめでとう！
Morning circle time
As far as phonics’ study go,this week we placed our focus on learning words that begin with the letter D. The words we learnt are dad, drum, desert, dolphin, deer, dinner, dog, dress, donut, dolphin and duck.
フォニックスの学びは、現在Dにフォーカスを当てて進めています。Dから始まる単語も増え、 dad, drum, desert, dolphin, deer, dinner, dog, dress, donut, dolphin 、duckを学びました。
Cucumber, is that you?
During afternoon circle time this week we played a fun game to help us memorize vegetable names. The teacher gave the students one flashcard each and spread a similar set of flashcards over the floor. It was such that for one card everyone had in their hands , there was a similar one on the floor. The students concentrated on locating their assigned vegetables. Before they picked up their cards I could imagine them quietly asking,”cucumber/tomato/potato is that you?” The students had fun looking for their vegetable pair!
サークルタイムでは、現在Vegetableについて学んでいます。お野菜の名前を覚えるために、いくつかのゲームをしました。先生が子どもたちに野菜のフラッシュカードを配り、子どもたちは自分の持っているカードと同じカードを見つけます。みんな集中してフロアーに置かれたカードを探します。子どもたちがカードを拾い上げる前に、”cucumber/tomato/potato is that you?”と先生が訪ね、野菜のカードがマッチしているか再確認しています。
We were also given worksheets where we had to find same vegetables and join them with lines! The students have done this activity a couple of times now and I’m proud to say that they have improved a lot.
ワークシートを使ったアクティビティも楽しみました！
Recently there has been news about people who fell victim to heat stroke. Temperatures are still very high so please take care of yourselves.
まだまだ残暑が厳しく、熱中症には気を付けなければいけませんね。
Until next week, have a fabulous weekend!
来週まで、良い週末をお過ごしください！
