School Opening Ceremony

For students, today is the first day of school this year. We had a ceremony in the gymnasium. It was very cold. The ceremony was very short so we could go back to the office and warm up.

We sang the school song and listened to the Principal talk about the importance of making a good plan for the year.

The students had meetings about the new term. After that, they went home early.

There is no school lunch today. Unfortunately I forgot to bring a box lunch, so I’m a little sad.

Do you have a good plan for the year?

Kids are Great

In December I went on winter break, then in January I taught at a special school. This week I returned to my normal schedule. Since mid-December some of my students have been researching about Japanese New Year’s traditions. This morning they gave me a presentation with their findings.

When the presentation ended, they gave me all of their pictures. I learned a lot today and I can study more because I have their information. It was a nice welcome back to the school.
