Journal for 2006-9-4 Mon..
Weather: Sunny Plan: Sakugi Elementary School

I started my new job today. I am working for a English teaching company called ALTIA. I am teaching English at some elementary and junior high schools for ALTIA in Miyoshi, Hiroshima. But, I am living at the same place. Most of my schools are close to my house in Iinan, Shimane. Actually, my wife Signe is now working at the schools I worked at before August. I am working at the schools she used to work at, too. We switched positions!

I started teaching English at Sakugi Elementary School today. The school only has 75 kids, so the classes feel really friendly. I am always nervous before I go to an elementary school, but if the kids are energetic I get energetic, too. The 5th graders were especially active in 6th period. They were laughing and giggling all throughout the games we played. There is no chime or bell between classes at Sakugi Elementary. That is a bit odd for Japan.

天気: 晴 行事: 作木小学校

今日新しい仕事を始まりました。ALTIAという英語教育会社に働きます。ALTIAのために広島県三次市内中小学校で英語を教えています。でも、同じ所に住んでいます。たいていの行く学校は家にある島根県飯南町の近くです。実は、8月前妻のシグニーは今働いている学校で働きました。今からシグニーは前に働いた学校で働いています。僕たちは仕事を交換しました!

今日作木小学校で英語を教え始めました。この学校の人数は75人児童だけので、学年はとても仲良しです。小学校で働く前、いつも緊張するけど、児童が元気だったら、僕も元気になります。6校時の5年生は特にハイテンションでした。ずっと笑わながら遊びました。作木小で授業と授業の間にチャイムやベルがないもんです。日本でおかしいです。
