New teachers

We are recruting new teachers now.
The new term is starting from October and more fresh students are coming.
There will be more classes,too:-)
I can't wait to see our new students:-D
Their dream of coming to Japan has come true!
I want to welcome them warmly, but be also strict for them.
We, teachers are so excited to see new students,
 and our current students are looking forward to seeing new teachers and students!

 A plant in the lounge
I hope the school and people grow like new buds flourish:-)

Redecoration

We redecorated our school a little.
There was nothing in the lounge before and the library looked a bit too serious.
 Now it looks more cozy, I hope.
 And in the library, you can feel the warmth of wood!!

Shu-san is relaxing in the new lounge. Behind him are the brochures of schools.
We are going to change the decoration little by little.
I get along better with my work when the environment changes.
I'll try not to be a teacher who's always redecorating somewhere;;

We have end-of-term examination soon, on Sep 9th, so I need to make our students
to concentrate on their study more!

How to spend the summer

Everyone has each way to enjoy the summer.
It's not that hot this year and much more comfortable than usual.
Students are thinking about what they will do during vacation.
Some of them already went to some festivals.

Our Korean students joined a festival in Koenji the other day.
They were surprised at the Japanese people begin dancing in the same way when the music started.
Most of Japanese people know how to dance' Bon-odori'.
I don't know exactly why I know it. I think it's similar to 'folk dance' for Eastern people.

And I went to watch a baseball game!

It was a cool night and I was outside watching baseball with beer and Edamame in my hands...

  They set off fireworks.
I had a great time and I hope I can have more nice memory for this summer.

Summer Program 2011

It's been a while since I last wrote somethhing here.

The summer program has started!

I expected the weather to be very hot and thought I would have a hard time taking students around.

But.. I didn't know it can be such cool in summer here. Well, 'cool' might be too exaggerated, but

still it's much better than last year.

 Our students asking  a police officer for directions

 In front of a crepe shop

 Disney Sea!!

She's holding a ticket case.

They bought a lot of things which can be purchased only in Disney.

To see the parade of this summer, you definitely needed a towel.
They threw water on spectators A LOT.
 They are going to ride on something scarylol

 Tea ceremony
 Ujjwal-san from Nepal. He's saying 'My right hand hurts.'

and Yukata.

 
They have sweet smile on their faces, but actually they were saying some complaints, too:-)
' It's difficult to walk.' ' Too tight to eat something..'
I hope they still liked Yukata:-D

 We also went to Fujikyu-Highland.
They were telling me they were not scared, but I doubt so.
They were shouting 'NOOOOOOO' , ' I'M SOOOORRYYY' or something like that.
I had a cold at that time and my voice was hoarse, but I still made some shouts while riding.
I guess now I know why my voice doesn't get better.
Our students for summer program seem to be having a good time.
That's all that matters to me:-)
