And then there were none...

So that's it Ladies and Gentlemen. I'm done. I will never teach an OC class ever again. Luckily, my last class was a good one, and I will forever have good memories. 1-7B will be the class that will forever remain in my memory as my last Team Teaching class ever at Kashiba. What will I do at school from now until I leave? Good question, actually. Finish correcting homework, calculate participation scores, study Japanese, make and record the term final, prepare stuff for ESS Club, study Japanese, make sure everything is in order for the Bye-Bye Bash, study Japanese, prepare lessons for elementary school, study Japanese, finish writing my awesome Kashiba Orientation Package for my successor, study Japanese... among other things. Just because I'm done teaching doesn't mean that I will have nothing to do.

Although I may be done at Kashiba, I still have elementary school visits to look forward to. Last week I was at Nohara Shogakkou in Gojo City. My first time visiting the infamous Gojo. I've heard much about it but never actually been there. Gojo is actually closer to Wakayama City than it is to Nara City so it was like a new adventure. It was a good day. I taught the 1st and 5th graders. The 1st graders kept calling me "LUCAS" because apparently I look like a man. One little boy kept grabbing my chest and saying "Big!" I told him to stop. So instead he grabbed my stomach and said "Big!" I don't know which one was worse...
I have another one on Wednesday at Showa. Usually I'd be thrilled about it but this time is a little bit different. I'll be giving an open class and all the Elementary school teachers in the prefecture have been invited... so I may be teaching in front of dozens of experienced teachers... how's that for pressure. I'm a little nervous but I enjoy teaching elementary school so no matter how it goes, I'll have a good time and so will the kids.
The following week, on Wednesday again, I'll be paying a visit to Soni Elementary school. Still don't know what to expect there. Hopefully these kids will be able to keep their grubby little hands away from all my protruding parts.

I was away this past weekend and I have lots to write about... However, unfortunately I have no pictures to compliment my adventures at the moment seeing as I'm not using my own computer. Thus, I'll leave that for another day so that Angie doesn't get mad at me for not updating enough.
