Push Yourself

Coming from a country where school is treated with such a lax attitude, It always blows me away how hardworking and dedicated our students can be.

Last week one of my students decided that in her workbook she wanted not two, not three, not even five but TEN pages assigned as her homework, on top of the writing exercises we set the group, and later, after her classmates had left she came back to me and asked me to set her another five pages!
Before my time here at the Kure Amity school, I have never seen students so dedicated and motivated to study, some of them seem to think of nothing else!

At times I worry for them and if they take enough time to look after themselves, but at the same time I find myself inspired by how focused they can be and how readily they ask for extra information!

Feeling It

As part of our class warm up, we always make sure to ask our students how they are feeling, no matter the level.
Not only is it a great way to ease into our conversations but its also important that our students remember their feelings matter.

In most classes, the students will tell us "I`m happy!" "I`m fine!" or maybe "I`m sleepy and hungry" but one of my little students, I, has very different ideas, he will sit each lesson and carefully consider the feelings cards laid out in front of him before telling the class "I`m angry and sleepy" each week without fail, he will declare his anger, and yet without fail he will be giggling and running around the room.

We all feel our feelings a bit differently, and sometimes we feel them a lot, and sometimes, we might now entirely know what to call our feelings, but its still important to pause and ask ourself "How Are You Today?"

Just a quick blog to express my thanks to the students and staff for my absence because of poor health.

I am now feeling a lot better and organizing make up lessons for the classes I couldn't teach.

Best wishes,

Year Of The Snake

Happy New Year!

Snakes have slithered their way into our everyday language, inspiring some interesting idioms.

Here are a few:

A snake in the grass: A secret enemy or traitor.

To have a snake in one's boot: To have a secret rival.

A snake oil salesman: Someone who sells fake products or promises.

Snake eyes: A roll of two ones on dice, often considered unlucky.

These expressions, rooted in the snake's sly and sometimes dangerous nature, add color to our conversations.

Best wishes,

Michael.

The end of the beginning

2025 is a week old now, The holidays are dying down and everyone is settling in for the rest of the cold weather.

Christmas and new years are such a warm and festive time filled with family and friends it is easy to forget that the weather out side is hanging out close to actual freezing.
Worse still, winter came in late this year so we`ve yet to sit through most of it.

Hold steady everyone, focus forward, and before you know it, we`ll be moving into spring once more!
