Tuesday

So starts another “typical” week. Though the head teacher’s sister is getting married and he won’t be back until Thursday and the assistant manager wasn’t in today either. Thus, the feel of work was quite different today. There were less people in the lobby that didn’t have class and the office over all just had a lot less bustle. Fortunately, because of this of the lack of “things going on” I finished all my lesson prep for the week. Awesome!! Now I can prep better for classes for the rest of the week or take care of other things that may need attending to.

The actual classes of the day went well enough. On Tuesdays I have three kids classes and two of them only have one student; who both of which are really good at English and make my job fairly easy. The other kids class is one of my better one’s also. Anywho, since last Thursday and until tomorrow, the kids are doing review units where they basically go over everything they learned from the previous 3 chapters and put it together. They have gone well so far and my classes today pretty much killed on them and made me very happy. Review units do a good job of indicating student weaknesses. This time around, I am noticing a lot of problems phonemic comprehension. The kids cannot spell on command as well as I think they could. I will try to adjust my method for the coming weeks so that this problem does not remain.

On a funny note, my manager as well as a lot of Japanese people love stitch (from Disney), but have failed to see the movie he failed in. I find that pretty funny. Therefore I took it upon myself to download and give a copy of the movie to her. I am presently working with her to get the right software to play the file and hopefully we get it worked out and I get to see her get crazy over how much cuter she thinks stitch is. Hopefully I remember to post her reaction >_<

Now I am off to bed . . . for real this time =P
