To see his top 3, you have stop by the forum! :-) While you are at the forum, please take some time to read the posts from EFLJoelle.  She’s got a TON of very helpful ideas.  I love her idea for making a “Feely Box” in this discussion.

Hey Joelle, you’re cake!

Oh Lucky Day!  We’ve become friends with a really passionate and generous teacher in Hong Kong named Ms. Lucky.  It has been so cool to get ideas from teachers all over, and Lucky sure has a lot of ideas to share.  Check out her playlist of Super Simple Songs videos from her classes.

Thanks, Lucky.  You’re cake.

楽しみ!

Our first KEEP workshop at Anaheim University is full.  Thanks to all who registered. We’re really looking forward to seeing everyone.

Some space may become available, so please feel free to register and we’ll put you on the waiting list.  You can also subscribe to the KEEP newsletter.  Then, you’ll be the first to know about upcoming workshops and hopefully won’t miss out on the next one!

The new school year has started in Japan and we’ve had some requests for a downloadable Japanese brochure/order form that schools can use to order.

So, here they are.  If you’ve been looking for some new music for your classes, give these to your school and hopefully you’ll have some just in time the new school year! Click to download and print.
