4 class Tuesday

I ran into a few problems today at school. Nothing too serious of course, but I was just curious at how I got into that mess. I really felt unmotivated to be at school. It wasn't a good feeling to have, especially since I'm a teacher. I think that the end of the year syndrome is taking over. I managed to get through pretty well, since we were just doing fun things today on all the classes. I think it's a good way to end the year before winter vacation.

The first class today was with 8th grade Ran. They had a quiz about the textbook and then the drama that they performed. They did very well, but they have a bit of an attitude problem.

The second class today was 8th grade kiku, and they had a little quiz that I made for them to test their comprehension of the textbook and on their play Blue Bird. They did fairly well, and were pretty interested in the topic. I think that has been a big change from, earlier.

The third class was 7th grade kiku. They were very quiet today too, but we also did a little quiz for them, but made it multiple choice so it was easier for them to do well. They were all on their drama, which was Beauty and the Beast. Most did very well, and I thought that they would be tricked by it, but I guess they understand a lot of the material that we go over. That really is amazing how they pick up all the language.

The last class today was with 11th grade fuji. We just worked on getting things ready for the oral exam. I introduced some new questions for them to research on and they had time to work in partners to research where they wanted to go and all the little things that I made them work on. I think that they enjoy the fact that they have a lot of time to work and it's not a lot of lecture. I think that in the end, we will see how effective all the work has been. I hope they do well though.

After school, we didn't have English club since most of the students left.
