Spring Program March 19-30 2018

This March 19 to 30 (Mon to Friday) we will be having our “Spring Program” each day from 10:30 to 1pm.  (There will be no program on Tuesday March 20).

We will play with games, toys, sing songs, read stories, play outside, make crafts and each lunch together!    We also have friends who don’t go to Maple regularly who come and join us for this special program.   Kids are anywhere from 3 years old to grade 6.   You can come for one day or all the days … as many as you like!   We only ask that you have some English learning background.

Here’s my craft!

Their English has really improved quite a bit and on top of that they have learned lots of life skills that are good prepartion for regular Japanese kindergarten.

 

 

• separating from Mom and being secure and independent
• following routines
• taking care of themselves and their things (getting dressed for outside, taking out their things from their bag and putting things away), using the toilet, washing their hands, tidying up
• getting along with friends: sharing, taking turns, listening, expressing feelings appropriately
• practice with drawing, using scissors and other skills

We had a lot of fun this year !   Playing outside, playing with toys, singing, story time, crafts, play dough, joking, laughing, eating together!

Every summer we have a fun program for about 10 days during the holidays from the end of July until the middle of August.   Children who don’t normally come to Maple are also invited to come as long as they have some background in English.  What do we do?

Well from 10:30 to  1:00 we:  play with toys or games, make a craft, play in the pools, eat lunch and have storytime and songs.   It’s a lot of fun!!   Here are some photos!

 

Outside Play

メイプルでは、ほとんどの授業に外遊びを取り入れています。ストーリータイムが終わると、子ども達はこんなことを言うのが大好きです！

• 砂場で遊びたい
• 縄跳びをしたい
• 三輪車に乗りたい
• （おもちゃの）家の中で遊びたい
• サッカーをしたい

  メイプルでは、お庭ですることがたくさんあります。このことは、英会話スクールであるメイプルの特徴の一つです。

Playing outside is part of most lessons at Maple.     After storytime the kids love to say “I want to ….”.

• play in the sandbox
• jump rope
• ride a tricycle
• play in the (play) house
• play soccer

There is lots to do on our yard and this is part of what makes Maple special as a English conversation school.

Grade 6 Graduation

3月11日に最年長の子ども達がメイプルを卒業しました。喜びと悲しみの日となりました。子ども達全員がどれほど成長し英語が上達してきたかを見ることはとてもうれしいですが、子ども達が去っていくのは悲しいことでした。長い間私達と共に過ごし、中には赤ちゃんの頃からメイプルで過ごしてきた子ども達がいました。卒業の日の写真をいくつか掲載します。

On March 11, our oldest students graduated from Maple.  It was a joyful and sad day.   Joyful because it is so nice to see how much they have all grown and progressed.   Of course it was also sad because they are leaving.   These children have been with us for a long time, some since they were babies.   Here are some pictures below of our special day.
