So I've been using balloon animals to review colours and body parts, while singing Numbers Rock now that I've finally found it, and making dodecahedrons with numbers up to twelve, or octahedrons for days of the week, and slightly irregular decahedrons for those who learn 11-20. You know, I'm not a bad teacher, if only I could learn to take care of myself and wasn't on thin ice all the time. Why I'm in this terrible position I don't know. After two years being placed with a JTE (so-called Japanese Teacher of English) and downgraded to an ALT is harsh. I can't even find an appropriate level Japanese class around here, and it's Japan. I just heard back from another foreigner who's studying 3 hours a day, albeit he's much closer to Elementary school level so he studies with the kids at school. Something I'm not encouraged to do. There's a difference between using Japanese for the job, and studying Japanese on the job, and I hope they realize that. . .
