Sankanbi: May

Ok so the last few weeks have been kind of stressful as the school prepared for the May sankanbi (parent view class day)  It's not a "real" lesson, as the principal and Japanese teachers made us come up with a lesson plan weeks ago and then watched them, critiqued them and made us fine tune them with pratice for the last week and a half or so.  Needless to say my 3yr old kiddies were very sick of the lesson before today. I think that might have actually worked out in my favor...as we were all anticipating them going insane and not paying attention because of their parents being around.  Not having the extra excitement of a fun new English lesson probably balanced out the extra energy of the parents! 

So YAY! I think I survived.  The other teacher's feedback wasn't that I was a horrible teacher and should be fired.  So that must mean they liked me! right?! 

On a side note...because of the music practices every morning for the last 3 weeks I now have 5 Japanese kid's songs and dances memorized and running around in my head.  GAHHH!!! one of which is about frogs and the dance involves hopping around like one...help me!
