The Week Has Started

And what a way to start the week. Great classes today. The grade fives were working on their skits. It was hard to tell if they were practicing or not through all the giggling. I don't have the heart to tell children to stop laughing and mostly stood back and watched the antics. I did step in and do authoritative work when it looked like were going to start doing something either stupid or dangerous or both. My goodness, the din that thirty-seven grade fives can make: Wow. The grade sixes presented a what is called a formal introduction. Some of the student's took it very serious and did very well presentations. Two particular girls that want to be interpreters did very well; now if they can just get over their crippling shyness...

Tomorrow it's out to Tsumei Sho Gakko where the whole school will be attending one long English class. It will only be eleven students so it's not as bad as it may sound. We're are studying Easter. I joked, because it is still a month off, that perhaps we should cover Lent, but the joke fell to a low response with the other English teachers. Anyways, tomorrow we are making Easter eggs and then doing an Easter Egg hunt. Should be fun!
