For last year students:
All of the students did an awesome job with the abacus class last school year! Let's continue enjoying the abacus with Mr.Tanabe this year as well! If those who passed the abacus test last school year would like to get a certificate, please fill in the certificate application form and submit it to Ms.Mitsuko with 700 yen by the 4th of September. She will pass them onto Mr.Tanabe, who will bring you the certificate of each level.
As the year begins, we will need to work hard on the challenge of speaking english only in the English Zone
all morning and then speaking Japanese in the afternoon for the Japanese Zone
.
Parents please encourage students to try their best, even at recess time, and to ask teachers for help learning new words for playing.
