Copenhagen > Singapore > Bangkok > Matsumoto?

Excited about my mate's discovery of a 10 yr vet Kindy teacher looking for a job from Bangkok. I love the way my friends look out for me and the way some things slip in to place when you need them to.

Wagged lunch to email her; a Danish lass, pretty, can sing and has a YouTube channel to prove it. Boxes ticked.

With green (groan) & lanky new Kana, who is nice & careful with the kids. Boring day. Quick song to younger kids' mums who are moving up. Skipping & stuff in hall, no real involvement. At least hay fever drugs work.

Blue class all said thank you - made sure they got one hell of a slap on the back from Choriso = red letter day.

Strong medicine

Think I must have overdone the cold meds today, as my notes make no sense/all too vivid machinations of working in an all-female environment? Think I need another lie down.

Mackeral

Still 3 classes MIA, pitched in with Minnie, but ended up nodding off as Allan made butterfly paper cup photo holder things.

Heavy fried mackerel sent me direct to the jacks.

Drew a puzzle piece for missing /Hh/

fairly on the hoof Jim Time

using ABC floor tiles minus inners

 & x2 jigsaws to establish letter order. 

Traced shape of letter to make standing alphabet, then static as stuck along wall. 

Made an ABC pavement then kids sit on a letter. 

Say alphabet in order you are sitting, then get them to move 

eg all boys switch places etc. 

45 mins high octane & Kaisei/Nao being tw&ts. 

Pretty newbie also here. 

Flu, anyone?

Three entire classes closed this week ie 90 kids MIA (yellow/blue/green) & Jim Time lobbed out the window. At least I feel a ton better than last week (tad selfish?!)

Honk, puke, upchuck - Friday 13th

Sent home, slept nearly 60 hrs straight

Utterly average day

Yuri's granny brought him & 'Choux creme' so obviously mummy popped at last ("Mocha").

Minnie trying hard to add English whenever she can & kids like it (natural) - compare and contrast that to Allan who has no clue. Hand painting a tree, lunch with Syouri for 3rd time running - I have become eating coach for a four year old. Ambition achieved.

Too hot in teacher's room, got jumped on by Teruma (his friends pulled him out of his trousers which was hilarious). Music practice yet again; Chief again gave them the perfect pep talk (and bigged-up Eita for not shouting about his broken castanet - waited til the end & by then in tears as he'd miss his go. Nicely done)

Mini Jim Time Hokey Kokey & This is the Way (1st time) in yellow. Madge again looking frisky.

Oni-wa-soto

Chief giving good chat about the meaning but also about not saying nasty things to friends, which Allan also mentioned first up in class & about not throwing stuff at people/saying 'Shinu' ("die"). Not a bad thing to pick up on.

Oni himself scared the crap out of some little ones: soon a herd behind me quivering & crying, several hugs administered!

Food = make monster face, thence unto sola class & nothing to do. Observed band practice, someone puked in the corridor, Wataru told off & made sit seiza, still misbehaved. The lad has a snarky streak.
