Preschool class pro-Obama

Today, apropos of nothing, one of my 3-year-old students suddenly said "yes we can!!" The 3-year-old boy next to her immediately picked up on it and both of them kept saying "yes we can!!"

I had never taught them this. It's official, everyone in Japan now knows this phrase.

Speaking of the small kids, one of the mums said her girl is practising the vocabulary cards at home, saying the words. Apparently her favourite card is 'hungry'. Hahaha.

The other day we had a class where the objective was "do you like __?" "yes I do/no I don't". So I had some various foods, and I grouped them according to "yes" or "no". I put ketchup in the 'no' category, so I tried to get them to repeat "Do you like ketchup? No, I don't! No, I don't!"

Instead of repeating it, the girl said, "demo ketchup oishii yo" (but... ketchup's delicious...). I guess at least she understood...
