Once arrived, apart from one rock, snowballs safely dodged! Not to say the rock wasn't painful nor annoying. Didn't see any of the other teachers receiving lumps of granite thinly disguised as snow...The snowman was quickly decapitated & slowly excavated; lots of ice collecting & footprint checking!
Three months left now for the "Tori" bunch - time to "man up" the message from A-sensei to her class, a sentiment delivered to all now in the assembly hall - with same message writ large by The Chief. So, no arguing with that, then!
Teachers
all look refreshed, even frisky! Making new groups by numbers but
silently, then trying to bully new group leaders (some tears from
unwilling). A need to replace the existing leaders as a new order soon upon us. Nice warm up to drawing exercise by K-sensei, asking about holiday
activities, places visited etc. Gives them behavior guidelines, explains
task, monitors effectively & encourages/asks questions in the
round.
Lunch = uncooperative boy would
not "toban" nicely nor sit down. Pumpkin mush to eat. Beautiful day outside - utsugushi tremendous.
Under assault as usual; sat at the end of corridor as wild boys tried to kick
me. Nice ones sat on my knee/defended but not much fun. Small odd girl
still eating 2 hrs later. Felt like a spare part after lunch again; tried
apps but too many heads fighting for screen space:(
Don't want to pick
people up this year either; couple of nice girls make exception hard.

A-sensei
no plan & making up games expecting me to as well; doing it all in
Japanese, & also inappropriately (?) sharing her opinion about
various kids.
Daikon pulling game (girls hogged me), piggy in middle quiz, find the clues I spy. Slush fest at home time, muddy shoes and mums dodging puddles.
Long slow day, stressing as I can't fix an urgent teacher issue we have back at school.
