CP absent

I was actually feeling much better today. I got to school rather early around 9am, which is actually very usual. No one was in the office which was very strange to me. But when Miss Nakamura walked in the room, she quickly rushed over to me, and took me to a classroom and told me that CP wasn't going to go to school today. I was like ok.... so she led me to a classroom and I walked in and had to teach the class. I had no idea what was going on, and I didn't even realize what grade I was teaching, until I looked at some of the faces. I was in a 7th grade class, which I'm glad that I'm not teaching in anymore.

I was helping another teacher since she just got the news in the morning too and we both had no clue what the topic of the day was. So what we ended up doing was going over a song and the lyrics that went with it so they could understand. It was "A Whole New World" from Aladdin because that's from the play they will have to perform at the school festival coming up. Not sure if it's this month's festival or next months, but it's coming up. That kinda disoriented me a little.
Since I was going to be the main teacher of the day again, with no idea what the topic was in each class. I think it was my fault that she got sick in the first place... my bad. But my punishment was having to teach instead of being the assistant. The 9th grade class was a breeze since all they did was the Play "Annie," which they are progressively getting better. They aren't perfect and some people keep forgetting their lines, but I think by the time they perform on October 31st, they will nail it.

After that, I went to teach the 10th grade for a bit with the Erin. She planned an activity where each person would get a playing card and that would separate them into groups. They had to read their demonstration speech in a group, in different intervals. Meaning the whole group had 3 minutes to read all their speeches, and in the next round only 2 minutes. We were trying to improve on their fluency of speech. I think it worked pretty well. The K class was really nailing it and they were behaving, we were really totally shocked. They had to pick a speech in the group to present to the class as a group. The class had to guess what they were demonstrating.
One of the classes I had to skip out on to be a sub again. I was subbing for another 7th grade class. I didn't do half as good as I would have liked. I could blame it on my cold, which was only part of it. The class was out of control, the Japanese English teacher had to step in and kinda lay down the law. But they were disrespecting her too. I think she was kinda frustrated. So partly it wasn't my fault too. Since they are 7th graders. I've noticed a trend that they tend to be out of control.

English club - it was a "Bimyo" day. I think so too. Everyone was tired and kinda feeling down. We had fun though and talked about weird things like usual. I enjoy the club, but I feel like I'm not really being helpful with their English. They still have much room for improvement, but I'm not sure how to help them. It's a weird situation. I ended up staying till like 7pm before going home so I was exhausted when I got home.
