Hello everyone!
あっという間に１月もあと少し、２か月後には新学期の準備です。
新学期の前に、ママ、パパにアドバイス。例えば小さなお子さまであれば、お風呂で一緒に英語で数を数えたり、きっこ英会話オリジナル英語カードで、レッスンごっこ遊びをしたりすると、クラスでもお子さまの積極性や、習熟度がぐんと上がります。
小学生であれば、リーディングを聞いてあげたり、ホームワークは、やったかな？と声をかけたり、英語で話しかけたりしてみてください。
両親が関心を持つと、お子さまも嬉しいですよね！
Time seems to go by so fast. It’s already January and we are nearing the end of another school year.
As I recall my first few months teaching here, most of the students were friendly but there were a few who were not so welcoming at first. Now, I can say that I have quite a good relationship with almost all of the students maybe with the exception of a few.
As I get to know them I noticed the importance of follow-up especially at home by parents. Students who were having a simple review at home by their mom or dad, tend to be more participative in class.
As an example, I thought the kids about numbers today. One little kid stood out because he can count in English not just 1 to 10 but up to 30! or even more! I asked him “Why can you count that good?” and he said “Mama and I count numbers whenever I take a bath.” then he smiled. 🙂
So to the parents of our dear students and to all the parents out there, simple actions can result to great things and learning shouldn’t end in the classroom. If you have the time to spare, study with them. It will be a great bonding for you and your kid to learn together. 🙂 See you!
