Start of the New Year

Here are our new classes for the year:

Junior High School First Grade:

Junior High School Second Grade:

Junior High School Third Grade:

High School First Grade:

The Junior High School First Graders have already written their first essay, today they will give their first presentation, and most of them have given me their first book report! In short, they are doing wonderfully.

The second graders and third graders, meanwhile, are now working on their second topics for the term.

all in all, it's shaping up to be a great year.

One new change that's going to have a direct effect on the NELP program is our Saturday course for elementary school students. The Notre Dame Seishin Alumni Association sponsors Seishin English Hills, a saturday course for elementary school students.

We currently have two very high level students. One is a sixth grade student in Seishin Elementary School's International Program. The other is the younger brother of one of my third grade NELP students. I had hoped the sister of one of my second grade students would come as well, but I haven't heard back. Because these students have a level of English proficiency many times higher than the average Seishin English Hills students, we've decided to make a special high-level class. It's my hope that this class will not only help prepare students to enter my NELP program, but will also help students with a high level of English proficiency to maintain and improve their English skills, even if they will not someday apply to NELP.
