Giggles

It's been a few years since I've taught Junior High School Students in the classroom.

Today, I headed out to a private school in Kichijoji for their summer English camp.

I loved it!

I'd forgotten what it was like to have a whole classroom full of kids who adore you and help bring out the kid in you.

Even better, was that I got the 3rd years and we got to write the script to the first half of the story of Cinderella. In the beginning, I wasn't sure that their imagination would stretch so far, but it did just enough to incorportae judo and gymnastics into the story.

LOL!

I had a right giggle with the girls - they cracked me up with their weird questions and over the top dramatics.

Now there's one more day of rehersals to go and then the final performance on Thursday. I can't wait to see if they bring all that energy onto the stage in front of the whole school.

The only downside was that I was reminded of the lack of air conditioning in the classrooms - just perfect on a day where the temperatures hit 34 degrees. What would we all do without sweat towels, eh?

I can't even tell you what a nice break it is to get away from the routine of teaching one-on-one to adults. Such a welcome break. 

Got a splitting headache now, but it was definitely worth it!
