Wednesday, March 8, 2017

My name is Ayako and I am the Boss...

For those of you who don't know me...
My name is Ayako Kitamura and I am the boss of an English school in Nagano, Japan.

The school is called the Canadian Voice...and has been open since 2003....
When we first started out the head teacher was a Canadian and he incorporated many aspects of the Canadian curriculum into our classes.

Now...It is 2017 and...
There are 2 schools....
#1 ~ One of them is in front of Nagano Station
And...
#2 ~ The other is in Kawanakajima.

There are 4 teachers working here...
3 Americans and 1 Canadian.
They are Chris sensei, William sensei, Tommy sensei and Jessica sensei...

Here is the school which is in front of Nagano Station...

I think that the lessons that are made here are exceptional and I would like to share some of them with you...

Good luck and....Study Hard...
or I guess...
If you are a teacher....Teach hard!!

Lists of Adjective Words...

Well...
If you don't have or use the "Let's Go" textbooks but would like to use the worksheets....
Here are the lists of adjectives that we have been using in our classes...

Adjective Worksheets for Kids...Set 2

A few days ago I posted a couple of adjective worksheets...
The adjectives were from the 1st textbook of the "Let's Go" series....

There were 14 adjectives altogether...
These prints were made to practice and review the first 8 adjectives...
#1 ~ young #5 ~ pretty
#2 ~ old #6 ~ ugly
#3 ~ tall #7 ~ thin
#4 ~ short #8 ~ fat

I have made a couple more prints to review this section......
To make it a little bit more fun....
I have made a section with "Amida Kuji"...

First Please take a look at this youtube video and see how to play ....

OK...now...
I have written instruction on how to play in Japanese...but...
If you will use this in non-Japanese English class...you will need to re-write them...

Good luck and have fun....
