Funglish Class (June 3rd, 2024)
Hello everyone. Now it's June, and it's getting hot like summer. Here is an update from Funglish class.
Today's post is about a 1st grade class. The 1st graders reviewed the phrase "What time is it?" The setting of this lesson is "talking to a friend in a foreign country." Students chose a foreign country and searched for the time, then had a conversation with partners.
We "traveled" to many cities today! Good job everyone.
Thank you for reading! See you next time.

3rd Grade
Today, the 3rd graders did a conversation lesson. We practiced the phrase "Would you like a...?" (...はいかかでしょうか。)

They also practiced a little math to calculate the order totals. We also reviewed "Could I have a ...?" from last year. "Could I have a smile, please?" Very nice conversation, everyone.

Good job everyone!
