Greetings,
Welcome to our blog this week and another week of exploring and learning things in class.
In phonics we continued our class goal of improving our writing and English skills. To accomplish this we looked at contractions and the different ways you can use them. The students matched the contractions with the words that make them. The students also practiced asking others what they were good at doing. Then they had to write the answers using these contractions we have been looking at in class. This was good speaking practice and writing practice as well as working in teams to complete this goal. Additionally, to help them get more practice with using contractions, we played games using the contractions that helped them think more about and have fun using these words.
RF保護者の皆様へ
今週もたくさんのアクティビティを通してセントラルアイディアを探索しました！
フォニックスでは、UOIで決めた今年度のクラスの目標「ライティングと英語の能力の向上」に向けて頑張りました。今週も引き続き色々な形の単語の短縮について学びました。アクティビティでは、パートナーの得意なことを聞き合い短縮された単語を使って文章を書きました。このアクティビティは、スピーキングもライティングも練習できる良いアクティビティです。そしてUOIの一部のコミュニケーションスキルの向上にも繋がります。

In UOI we reviewed the importance of teamwork. We accomplished this by performing various activities in class. the first activity we did in class was building a tower with spaghetti. This was important to our UOI as the students needed to work with each other and use teamwork as best they could to complete the activity.
UOIではチームワークの大切さについて復習しました。一つ目のアクティビティでは、決められた材料（スパゲッティ20本、マシュマロ1つ、テープ2枚、毛糸2本）でチームに分かれ、20分以内に1番高いタワーを作るというチャレンジをしました。みんな一生懸命話し合い、創造力を活かしタワーを作りましたが、タワーを立たせるのに一苦労。残念ながらタワーが出来ませんでしたが、とても素晴らしいチームワークがみられました！

Another activity we did in class was working together in teams to build a castle in a picture. The other team had to watch and observe the team building and write down what good or bad team work they saw. The importance of these activities was to have the students work together and use the different parts of teamwork needed to accomplish a goal.
もう一つは10分以内に写真と同じお城を木のブロックで作り上げるアクティビティです。2チームに分かれて1チームがお城を建ててる間に、もう1チームは相手チームのチームワークを観察しました。観察力を使って相手チームの行動の良かったこと、そうでなかったことを上手に見つけ出すことができました。チームで一つの目標を達成するためには、コミュニケーションが大切だと言うことが理解できたと思います。

The students also made a teamwork Y-chart in class to look at different aspects of what is apart of teamwork. After listening to a story as well a video. They had to use all the information done so far and write down how does teamwork look, feels like, and sounds like. This was important as it let them explore the concept of what makes teamwork. Then they had to combine their effort into a group Y-chart so the class could have a big overview of the concept of teamwork.
週の最後には絵本とビデオを見てチームワークについてのYチャートを作りました。今まで学んできたチームワークについて、「どのように見える、聞こえる、感じるか」をチャートに描きました。
