On Monday, I taught my first and second graders at Yuyama Elementary School. Yuyama is a school which is 10mins away from my house and up in the mountains.
Both grades had me when they were in nuresery school, so they were used to me and not afraid of English at all.
In nursery school, I just sing songs with them and introduce vocabs, play games and do some colouring-in stencils. Our lesson on Monday was self-introduction and feelings. They did it so well! The kids were confident and their pronunciation just blew me over. The first grade classroom teacher was also very amazed, you should've seen the smile on her face, it was huge.
The second grade teacher is a new teacher who's just came over from another school. It was her first lesson with me, and she looked liked she enjoyed the lesson more than the kids. So, at the end of the lesson I asked her whether she taught with an ALT before, and she looked at me and told me where she was from, and I totally understood why she looked so happy. Her old school's ALT sucks!!! :p

Happy Friday!!!
