Sharing Golden Week Memories in Japanese Class
Preschool
May 10, 2017
After Golden Week, the children returned full of energy and memories.
In the three-year-old Japanese class, we decided to interview them.
When asked who would like to tell us about the holiday, many raised their hands eagerly.
The questions focused on where they went, who they were with and what they did.
They looked a little nervous when called to the front. The teacher used a more formal tone than usual, and some children responded with complete, polite sentences about where they had gone.
Now that they were three, some had begun using words such as tomorrow, yesterday and next time.
Interviews like these help children organize memories in sequence and build confidence by sharing them with the group.
