喜音の学校 Yukine's school

キンダーガーテンなるものが始まって2ヶ月。

今、私は週１、クラスのボランティアをしています。

なにをするかって、先生が少人数の子供たちに教えている間、わたしらが先生のかわりに、クラスを歩き回って励まし、席に戻し、やる気を起こす。。。。いわゆるモンキーパークの飼育係です。笑

いやいや、これは結構カルチャーショックを未だ受ける。わたしにとっても新鮮な貴重な時間。
アメリカは自由ですな〜。


日本のように「前ならえ！」とか「起立！」とか「先生さようなら、みなさんさようなら」
ありません。ありえません。

一応並ぶけど、バラバラ。廊下を歩くときは先生筆頭に歌を歌って踊りながらいっちゃいます。

よくわけのわからん子供が授業中にうろうろ。

授業中もかなり自由。ボランティアの保護者がいないければ成り立たないと思う。

でも喜音のクラスは、保護者がとても協力的だし、先生もかなりおもしろい人。
よ〜踊って歌ってはります。お色気満々です。

すでにだいぶ分も読めるようになってきているし、それは本当にすごいなと感心！

私もかなりお勉強になっています。（アメリカンカルチャーを。）


It's been for two months since Yukine started her kindergarten.
I'm volunteering once a week to help their literacy class. It's very interesting for me. I'm having culture shock every time at the class :p So much different from Japanese school, at least my school. Maybe that's because it's kindergarten. not sure.

As I thought, American schools are so much liberal than Japanese school. However, when I saw it with my own eyes, it's overwhelming!!

Kids are roaming during classes, maybe only Yukine's school??

Each class room have each character, Yukine's has a cozy relax area.

Kids and teacher sing a song when they walk the hall way.

There are some purple hair girl there, pink, green!!!

Just so different. You know, Japanese school are so like army :-p
Everyone does same thing, don't talk, don't run, don't put cute bow. don't don't don't.....

Though I love Yukine's teacher, MS. Jones, she is awesome!!! She is sooooo fashionable and elegant, but sooo funny. She is always dancing and singing.( Not kids song! Very funky groovy song.) But she is teaching them very very well. They already can read some words and sentences! How cool!

I'm glad she has the class.
