February 5

Boy T had not been using his inside shoes in the classroom for most of the day since three days ago. He could understood why we need to wear them but he wasn't able to keep them on because it seemed to be pretty tight. Then he brought new shoes today! Some of the strings on the shoes had been cut to make sure it wasn't too tight. I guessed he had tried them on before hand. I thanked her(maybe say who e.g. his mother) about it. However, he wasn't as energetic as I thought. According to her(again who?), he was still slightly sick and was given Tylanor last night.
During lunch time, he started to take off his shoes. I asked him where are your new shiny shoes. He realized that he taken them off and said,” My shoes... Oh yeah my new shoes...”He asked me to help to put them on, so I helped him but I let him to do buckle. He did it carefully while talking,” This is supposed to be like this....and buckle.” Then he ran to the restroom. At afternoon free play time, he didn't put on shoes again, so I encouraged him to wear them by himself. Boy E, who often plays with him came by and offered him help with big smile. T nodded. When E had buckled up, T started to cry. I realized the shoes were still too tight to wear for him, plus he hadn't fully recovered from his cold yet. So I thanked E for helping him and told him why he was crying. E asked to him to play with the fire truck. T stopped crying and started to play without shoes. I told his mom to cut more string to loosen the shoes for him. She did it right away when she picked him up. I really felt comfortable talking to her and I learned again that communication is the most important tool, otherwise I couldn't figure out why he cried often and took off his shoes and how to deal with him. I did a circle time afternoon. When I asked each children "how are things going this afternoon so far?", they answered with very creative and varied responses. For example, fist bump, high five, low five, answering shyly, answering with enthusiasm, and pretending to be  a pig! I was very surprised to get the answer from sweet piggy. She, (a.k.a the piggy) likes to pretend to be animals and I often saw her during the day. Her piggy sound made my circle atmosphere great. The children laughed a lot in a good way. I love how they expressed themselves.

Nice :)

Question and Answer( small discussion with children)

I implemented three small discussions with four children at a time on the 3rd February 2016. I couldn't understand their language perfectly, but I got good enough responses from them.

My favorite movies

My favorite Japanese movies are "Nausica of the Valley of the Wind ","Laputa, the castle of the sky " and "My Neighbour Totoro ".
I like these movies. They were filmed by Mr. Hayao Miyazaki, a movie director.
These movies are anime, and children can also enjoy the story.
When I watch his movies, my heart always becomes warm. I feel peaceful and I am really moved.
His movies teach us that too much developing is bad for human beings and how important it is to live with nature.

Nicely doen :) I've seen a few Miyazaki films myself. My favourites are My neighbour Totoro, Whisper of the heart and Kiki's delivery service. I agree they always make the viewer feel happy, but I think all of his films can also be very melancholic too. 

Jan 26

I got a opportunity to do circle time with the topic "ship/boat” in the morning. They children really enjoyed doing activities in which they could touch the props and get involved in games such as attaching the pictures of ships on a felt board, pulling coloured contraction paper from a file and drawing a word card. It was going smoother than before because I told the children the set rules for the circle time and tried to get thier attention using hand made props. These have worked well so far. It was still challenging to do the circle for 20 minutes. Today, it was my first time  sending giving a child a time out during the circle. I felt horrible for having to send her, but I need to be firm about forbidding violence. I gave her the time out because she hit the girl next to her. While she was sitting on the 'time out chair' crying, I continued my circle while thinking “ was it good choice for her?” and “What else can I do for her?”. However, Miss Anna helped by talking to her and I talked to her after the circle, then she was fine. I leaned that it is a reasonable idea to remove children who goof around during the circle so the other children can concentrate on listing. There are other ways other than sending them to the 'time out chair'. I can let the child who had difficulty with participating sit on the chairs in the back row. I also had difficulty dealing with a girl who is five years old. She was frowning because she couldn't do what she wanted to during the activity. So, I should've gave her simple reasons like “ You already took your turn. You need wait until after your friend for you turn again!” Furthermore, I had a hard time getting the attention of a girl who is two years old. The next time, I tried to call her name more often and let her be first to do the activities. At morning free play, Boy P was mean to the others, ding things like breaking their tall building, scaring them by shouting and he also tried to make them fall down. I asked him why he had been mean to his friend. He answered that it was because they had wronged him before. I explained to him why it's not good to be mean to his friend. But it wasn't effective guidance. I should have told him more simple guidance like “ you may not be allowed to play here if you are mean to your friend.”

Nice job :)

Could anyone correct my transcripution? http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-31051434

It is time for a new strategy for Welsh. Only 11% of people here in Swansea say they speak the language, yet the workers here at the ty tawe Welsh center say they haven't got enough money to run all the classes they want.
Elgan Davies Jones, ty tawe said, "At the moment, we are full to capacity and we have a small team of 6 staff who want to develop farther, to work with more schools, moreyouth works and more families."
New technology has been cited as a way to help Welsh develop, yet studies found that welsh speakers ignore the language and rely on English. Just over 12% said they mainly or always use Welsh when they're sending text messages, and 10% are Email. And on facebook 9% use mainly Welsh and on Twitter it's about 6％.
But I'm off to speak to people using this technology regularly, at a place I know well.
The reporter said, "I've come back to my old school in ???(the place name? I also have no idea what he said lol) which is at the top end of the Swansea valley in an area where the use of the Welsh language has been traditionally strong. But is it as strong as its ever been? 
These current pupils say they are proud of speaking Welsh, but when using social media, it can be difficult.
One of the students said, "I post in English because my friends can speak English. But I basically prefer Welsh."
Another student said, "I speak Welsh with my mother more because my father can't speak Welsh, but he tries, but I can speak much more, it's quite funny."
Matthew Evans, head at Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera says despite the good work that has been done in education, making the Welsh the language at the shops, post offices and pubs is still proving to be a difficult nut to crack (a saying that means something is difficult e.g. this homework is a tough nut to crack). 
He said, "It's a case of developing the skill or any gaining the skill in school. Whether they utilize the developing the skill in their later life, it's beyond my control. But what I hope to address is they have a passion to keep learning the language."

Other researcher suggest if you compare Welsh to other languages like Basque, which has a similar number of speakers and differs from a number of dominant languages like Spainish or French, that is much more vast on Twitter.

Professor Elin Haf Gruffydd Jones, Aberystwyth University said, "More Basque institutions in media or other kind of institutions are using the Basque language to create a dialog with the Basque speaking population. So you can get more links such as on twitter, to and from different insitutions and more varied institutions. And then the people go back and forth."

The minister said they are encouraged by figures which show and increase in the proportion of young people who speak Welsh. And then they also admitted that finding the right formula is growing difficult and people are getting to love to use it everyday is still a challenge.

Nicely done :)

My hobby

One of my hobbies is collecting "Goshuin ".
"Goshuin " are signatures and stamps of temples or shrines in Japan.
It is a token of our visit there.
When I visit the temples or shrines, I bring a stamp book which is called "Goshuin -cho" for the "Goshuin" to commemorate my visit with me.
The staff of the temple or shrine notes its name along with the date and stamps a vermilion seal on it .
They are really artistic.
"Goshuin " is written in india ink.

Good job :) Goshuin collecting sounds fun.
