Please welcome our new Japanese volunteer teacher from CPCC. Chiba sensei will be assisting in the afternoon from Monday-Thursday!! Please let me introduce myself. I am Yumiko Chiba as a volunteer. I am from Aichi, I came to Charlotte one and a half year ago, because my husband has been transferred to the Charlotte branch from Japan. I am a ESL student at Central Piedmont Community College, I am studying English for a year. I want to be able to communicate with people fluently. The reason why I am a volunteer in this school, is because I want to tell the world about own language and culture, also I like to interact children. I hope I will do my best in this class. Thank you. There is a parent-teacher conference on Monday, October 31st. To set up an appointment, please go to the link and sign up!
