This summer is going to rape me.
And I'm looking forward to it, very much.

Maybe, my word choice wasn't the best there, haha.
But!
On Saturday, I went to school (obviously) ... dude, I'm always like THE LAST teacher there, every week. But oh well, I got there, made my photocopies (I made like, grid paper kind of for the kids to practice hiragana so the characters are more or less the same size, and I make a worksheet every week).
Anyways, I got side tracked. I got to school, and then the lady in charge (... I should know her name) asked me if I wanted to teach summer school this summer. She said that no one seems interested in teaching it. I said, of course! So, I'll be teaching summer school again! ィェィ♪(v〃∇〃)ハ(〃∇〃v)ィェィ♪
I want to message Megumi, and ask her if she wants to come back and help out!
She's a really nice girl, and was a lto of help the year I taught it. The kids like her a lot too.
So now, I just have to think of a lot of fun activities and games that we can play!
Anyone have any ideas?
It's hard, because for the Japanese class, the skill level of the kids is ALL over the place.
Some speak it at home so they're pretty fluent, and others haven't learned a word yet and are just interested in it.
But, I don't want it to be too boring, you know? Like I want to have a lot of games and activities (that I can obviously incorporate Japanese into) to make it more fun, and less like 'school'.
July, is going to kill me.
The campground will be busy, we'll have customers out the ass.
A couple of my kids will be going to the festival, so I'll have to make sure they're prepared for that.
Then I'll have to teach Japanese class every weekday from 9:30 - 12:00... and of course go to either piano or the campground after that.
It's good to be busy. but it's probably why I slack off so much during the school year, haha.
Oh well.
We'll see how it goes.

sounds like you're going to be busy busy busy ^-^
Oooh i have a game that's pretty fun, and teaches kids their numbers (...though i guess you could substitute whatever you want into it )
...i...only wish that i could remember the name of the game D:
ANYWAYS, you go down the line of students and each student says their number, ichi ni san whatever, and...when you reach a predetermined number (say...6) the person that reaches six doesn't say six they say (...the name of the game...but i guess you could substitute whatever word you want into it XD)
...ok...that actually doesn't sound that fun...but if people don't know their numbers...or are just slow...it can be interesting XD
