I was not so busy at work today. The teachers were reserving most of their classes to return and go over the recent exams, so I had just one class today with Harada sensei. We watched part of “Whale Rider” on DVD, since the textbook had a reading exercise featuring the story. <\/p>\n
The reactions of the students were mixed, but it’s hard to get a grasp of the story from just the short pieces that we showed them. Overall I think they were happy to not have to study the same old stuff, and I was really happy to get a DVD player in a classroom and set a precedent. Hopefully I can do some more things with the player in the future.<\/p>\n
Other than that class I was desk-bound, and so I studied like crazy and got ready for the rest of the week, which is a little more of a normal schedule. I’ll be busy with lots of classes each day, so I touched base with a few teachers to get an idea of what they were expecting.<\/p>\n
Kuniko got home extremely early today – before six. We had some leftovers and are just kicking around the house. It’s a rare event that Kuniko has so much time free at home. I think she might celebrate by going to bed soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
