Tuesday

Woke up at 7:10am, had bread for breakfast, and then set off for school. I had a super relaxed day today since I only had two lessons, and in 5th and 6th period too! Spent all the spare time typing up the alphabet worksheets for Grade 3 since it’s all individual and personalised, but it was a great way to pass time, as lunchtime came around before I even knew it. Lunch today was curry and naan bread, ABC soup, and an orange slice. The rock scissors paper fight over the remaining naan bread was intense in 5-2 today! The kids were more talkative today, and when last year’s farewell assembly was played on the TV again, the kids were laughing at each other’s old hairstyles. Cleaning time was a bit rough cause two kids got into a petty argument, but it mellowed out in the end. Finally a lesson! Back to back lessons practicing the picture book lines with 5-2. My JTE had the genius idea of saying the lines with a beat (she brought her own metronome from home) and it was a great idea because the kids got really into it, bobbing their heads along, and chanting loudly and clearly to the beat. I brought out my speaker and beat-box app and since you can make the beat go faster and faster, they were having a lot of fun challenging each other to see who could recite the lines perfectly at an insanely fast pace. 6th period was just a little crazy because we were trying out a rehearsal of what the actual presentation day would be like, with the rotation system and all, but they were doing it very sloppily and not listening and talking amongst themselves a lot, so yea, very average.

Got off work at 16:15 after having the meeting with the 2nd grade teachers. Went home to pick up dad, then we went to do a bit of shopping at Aeon mall. Bought many things at Uniqlo and walked around browsing other stores but didn’t see anything else we liked. After we finished with the mall, we drove back to the ramen place near home, and had ramen for dinner. Went to the convenience store again after dinner to get some stuff for breakfast tomorrow.
