T minus who knows...
Hi Omoikane!
Long time no update!
Today was a pretty cool day!~ I was at Nukazawa shogakko this morning to teach the 1st and 2nd graders. I boldly decided to introduce the letters A-G to them... and I immediately hit a snag when I ran through the alphabet with my 2nd graders... the ENTIRE alphabet... so, Jei-sensei had to do a bit of quick thinking on his feet. I got my kids to do their favorite Janken + card game on the floor for about 15 minutes. The team scores were 0-0. I love that game, and the kids love it too!
We had menchi katsu for lunch (tasty) and I got to talk to a bunch of my 2nd graders... and get them into trouble for talking to me... and get them into trouble again because they couldn't finish lunch in the allotted time. =) I'm good at that.
In the afternoon, I didn't realize how much the morning just took it out of me... From 2-3, I just kinda faded in and out at my desk while I corrected papers... oopsie.
After, we had our monthly shogakko scheduling meeting where they dished me out to the local elementary schools for Feb. They also had a long discussion on the future of English education in Motomiya city. I'd never realized what huge supporters of elementary school English education I had in these teachers.
After school, it was off to the BOE to put my face in and say hi, then off to have some ramen with the Motomiya Jet.
And now sleep... sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet sleep...
Goodnights!
