お菓子

The pumpkins are carved and Halloween is upon us and that's means tons of chocolate and candy.  This year is going to be no exception.  Don't forget to brush your teeth.

Thank you Osamu.  

Also Kiyoshi, Hiroko, Keiko and Ryo.  Thank you for your help.

Sweetily,

Pat

Book of the Week

It's a little long for reading to the class, so when I do read it to the class I truncate the sentences by reading just the last few words of the sentences from the longer sections.What I really like about the book Green Eggs and Ham is Sam-I-Am, the incessant idea man always coming up with new ways to make those green eggs more appealing.

In other news, I found my Halloween costume for 2011.  I don't want to say what it is here, but I can tell you that is pretty deluxe.  Don Quixote always seems to have some silly stuff for looking at, but I actually bought something there today (other than dill pickles) while I was shopping for my costume.

I think it will do well for displaying the book of the week.  Be sure to check this one out either at the school or from the library and I'll be back with another recommendation next week.

Still Confused but...

I figured it out!  It was too big...  I don't know why it's so big.  All my other handouts were under 5mb so they uploaded without any problems.  It was over 5 mb. I chopped off the bottom part and put it up on the English Island HP.  I'll figure some more later when I have time to swear at the computer.


Check it out!

新しい教材が出来ました！

I am not exactly the handyman husband.  I do weed the  garden, replace a light bulb, or even tighten a loose screw on occasion, but definitely not a "handy man". However, this weekend I did manage to replace the casters on the whiteboard in the Shinkotoni school!!!  No more lugging a broken whiteboard around or having the wheels come off either.  I　was inspired enough by my humble achievement to make a home repair unit for the kids (and maybe adults too).







For some reason I can't seem to upload it because the server claims it is too big.  Just 4 kb so it can't be true.  I'll try to figure it out but for now I'll be handing it out in class.

Homerepairingly,

Pat

ちょっと言い過ぎたかな。。。

子供たちに頑張って、大きな声で歌えるかなと言いたらこの通りになりました。本当に頑張りました

Inspirationally,

Pat
