Today was quite a busy day. I started with a fourth year elementary class, but it turned out the homeroom teacher wasn’t there. Which isn’t a problem, but since he usually leads the classes I kinda had to quickly improvise. Wasn’t too much of a problem though, so everything worked out well.
My third year class had to make “three hint quizzes” and after having done them in groups I asked for volunteers. There were quite a few, and a lot that went two or three times. Maybe it’s just because they wanted to get stickers, but it takes a lot of courage to talk in the second language in front of the whole class, so I feel like they deserve the reward. Besides, they did make and present three questions, so they put in the effort as well.
Then I had to go to the hospital. My doctor thought that maybe my dizziness was a side effect of some of my meds, so we cut back on some and increased my pain medication so that should probably help. My friend was willing to drive me, which was a good thing, because by the time I got back to school I felt fried.
There I learned that although my second fourth grade class had been rescheduled to fifth period (so I could be there) the teacher had forgotten, and when they couldn’t find me (they apparently did search, but the teacher in charge of my schedule wasn’t there today either so there was no one they could ask either) she did the class herself. Which was great, because this meant I could rest fifth period, and by sixth period I was feeling a bit better.
My second third year class was really fun. While the concept of the lesson was similar to my earlier class, there were a lot more students willing to present their question in front of the class (and we had several people doing more than one too). While my first class had a lot of extra time (in which I made them create quizzes unrelated to the page in their textbook) this class filled the time with questions and by the end of the class, I still had a lot of volunteers. I think about half of the students presented, and their homeroom teacher was very impressed by how much English they were using when talking in groups. He almost never comes to my English classes, so he said he was super happy to see how much they improved. And he said even people that usually don’t really talk talked during English and even sometimes presented and he was impressed by that too. Made me super happy as well, I’m glad they feel confident enough/safe enough to present during my class even if they don’t usually like doing that.
After school I didn’t do much, like I said, I was kinda out of it. No more spoons, lol I did some more embroidery and it’s amazing how different my third try looks from my first. I think I can finally try and do what I actually wanted to do, embroider my Amabie characters on little omamori charms, because I thought that would look super cute :3 I might try that tomorrow, or Friday depending on how I feel. I also did another Dreamcatcher/Odd Eye painting, because I’m having a lot of fun with them. I’m going to try and at least do all the members, though I’m mostly focusing on my favourite parts of the MV, which means I want to draw more screenshots from my favourite scenes which usually are with the same person. Even though I don’t have a favourite member, I’m gonna look heavily biased xD
