Stockings

For Christmas when I was a child I always had my own stocking that would be filled with candy, chocolate, and little toys on Christmas morning.  This year we have way more stockings for our students than we thought!! The 英会話TREE family is really growing fast.  However, to get presents you must be a good little girl or boy.  If you have been bad you will only get a lump of coal...

Have you been good???

2013 Adult Halloween party

This was the first year we had a Halloween party for adults.  It was a great time! Everyone who came had great costumes.  We had a costume contest and we did bobbing for apples.  This very traditional activity was really brought to life by the people who challenged to get the apple!  It was really fun and we all can't wait until next year!

2013 Summer School Term 3


This year we studied marine biology for summer school.  The students who participated had a great time!! We learned over 20 different animals and plants in the sea.  The students learned how to make observations of those animals in English!!  For the older students they did internet research on several different types mariene life, then they wrote a short essay in English explaining the life cycles of those animals.  Our students really work hard!!
 
 
Then we went to the Kasai-Rinkai aquarium, for a full day field trip to make observations.  Everyone had a great time and they can't wait for next year!
