Hello,
This was another exciting, but short, week in Rainforest class. Even though the week was a little short than normal, we still managed to complete our work and learn more things in class like normal.
For phonics, we practiced reading bigger words and the skills we could use to make reading them easier. For example we looked at separating it into the different syllables to make reading each part easier. We also reviewed how to turn other words into snap words making them easier to read by following the snap word rules. The goal of this to help increase their ability to read more words on their own.
RF保護者の皆様
今週は1日短い週でしたが、たくさんの事を学べました！
フォニックスでは長い単語を読む能力を高めるため、単語を音節の数で分けて読む学習をしました。

We looked more at our line of inquiry: Ways to achieve a common goal. To begin we completed our group puzzle and discussed the how and why of the importance of teams and how we all can contribute something in a role which can lead to helping accomplish a goal.
引き続き「目標を達成するための方法」を探求し、なぜチームワークは大切か、自分の役割を決め、果たすことがなぜ大切なのか、色々なアクティビティを通して探求しました。

To help the see the importance of making goals, we played a ball game where they needed to get the ping-pong ball into the correct basket. This was used to help to demonstrate to the students the importance of having goals. Additionally, we talked about what a goal is and how to achieve them. The students thought of  goals that could be completed in a group as well as personal goals they could complete. The students needed to think of the roles needed to complete these goals. This helped them to see that to achieve a common goal you need to think of steps, or roles, that would be needed to complete the goal.  This helps go back to the central idea of how they all share responsibility to achieve a common goal.
ピンポンボールをバスケットに投げ入れるゲームを通して「明確な目標の大切さ」を学びました。始めは二つのバスケットになにも書かれていない状態でボールを投げてもらいました。どっちのバスケットにボールを入れなくてはいけないかわからないので迷ってしまいました。ですが、どっちのバスケットが自分の目標かを明確にしたとたん、ゲームがスムーズになり、簡単に終わらせることができました。最後にクラスの短期と長期の目標をみんなで考えました。残りわずかですが今年度に達成したいRFクラスの目標を決め、目標を達成するためのステップをクラスみんなで考えました。クラス目標を達成するためにはチームワークが大切ですが、その中での自分の役割や責任を明確にし、果たすことも必要だということも学びました。
