Hello all,
Just thought I would do an update on my school.
So I have been teaching a lot of lessons. About 4/5 a day, in my free time I lesson plan and brush up on my Japanese. I can't really say too much so I will do a quick list of things I like about the school:
1) Teaching, who knew there was such a job where I could talk about myself all day? I love the sound of my own voice
2) Being able to do crazy lessons: Team games where the class is divided into Harry Potter houses, making the students run around the classroom getting on furniture to teach them "in" "on" "under" "next to". Getting them to pretend to be sick! I am really enjoying teaching!
3) School lunches, the dinnerlady loves me!
4) Sports day, a whole day of Japanese style gameshow games where every kid got to join in! A whole realy race with the ENTIRE school, obstacle courses and just crazy crazy games! I got to be a judge for cheerleading, the whole school was divided into 5 teams and they all did this huge cheerleading act with pompoms and music. I got to be a judge! They loved doing it too which was very funny!
5) Giving the kids high5's or playing scissor paper rock in the corridors.
6) Having "Herro" "Engrish teacher" "Josefu" shouted at me wherever I go in the school.
7) Observing the major differences in the Japanese school system. No chocolate, no outdoor shoes inside, the teachers move to the students, umbrella racks in the classroom, a whole new level of pencil case love!
8) The other classic teachers!
9) Laughing constantly!
10) Having lessons cancelled all the time for typhoon days or the many national holidays!
There are of course some bad things, but in general its mostly good. Some grades are quiet, some are too noisy. It depends on the day and the class I think!
