Terrific Tuesday!

Playing karuta with English vocabulary words.

Happy Tuesday! I kept thinking in my mind that it was Wednesday... haha. Not quite...

Yesterday and today I kicked off the use of the textbooks with my students. It can be painful at times, but overall I think they were able to get into it.  I teach three 90-minute classes on Tuesdays. It's quite a fun marathon of teaching that I get to do!! It starts off at 9:10 and then I finish at 2:40.  Plus, I get a quick moment to eat lunch before the next class begins.

Writing about a picture.

 Today was the first day of writing with.  I had different cards with pictures on them laying face down on the desks.  The students each sat  at a different table and were given some time to write about the photo. They wrote about 3 different photos. It is interesting to see the various stories that the students came up with.

I am very much enjoying my classes and my students. Prep time is what eats up my days... I have been pushing 12 hour days these past two days. I hope I get to go home sooner next week as I get in the swing of things.
