January was a review month for many of our classes. Review is beneficial for our students as they only attend once-a-week lessons. We reviewed previous textbook lessons, read simple passages, and focused on pronunciation. In addition, students answered questions from the Eiken English language exams.

December flew by very fast. This year we didn’t do anything special during lessons for the holidays, but we did have a “Meet Santa James” Day on December 18th. During this day, students and family members came by to see Santa James and pick out English books and stationery items as presents.We have finalized our new pricing plan for next year and will have a yearly calendar available which should make scheduling much easier for students and parents.

November was a bittersweet month for BumbleB English. We have been teaching a cohort of six students since they were in 1st Grade Elementary School. These students are in 3rd-grade junior high school and preparing for their high school entrance exams. December will be their last month, and though several will move away from the area in the Spring, we hope to keep in touch and continue to see them progress academically and personally.
