Hey all!
Just a quick update as it has been a while. This week has been mostly filled with training and searching for food. The training has been predominately focused on going through all the material supplied for us for each of the year levels. While 90% of our time will be spent with grad 5-6 we will be doing some work with younger kids. Should keep life interesting! We are basically going through games and teaching techniques as well as ploughing through the set curriculum.
Throughout this we have been doing a bit of Japanese study, and you can hear about some of the funny results of this in Lucy's Blog, but it has been a lot of fun all round, with lots of off-topic remarks and sillyness going on. Ahh the things we get paid for...
My Japanese is progressing a little, and I can happily order at a restraunt (by pointing at the menu and going "kore kudasai" (that please) and so on.
Tomorrow we will be viewing the entry of the 1st graders as they come to school for the first time. I have been told it is quite an event!
Jamata!
