Today is Monday, but I've got the day off in exchange for working the school's culture festival on Saturday. My school is unusual in that it actually had three separate days of activities because the 7th, 8th, and 9th graders are kept separated at all times to avoid behavior problems. On all three days though, there was an opening ceremony, followed by a class chorus competition (Each class sings two songs, one of which is the same for all classes, and one of their choice; they are judged upon their performances--my YouTube channel has a clip of students singing "Country Roads".) In the afternoon, a few students read essays or put on a short play. Then the teachers perform a comedy skit for the students, after which the bass brand plays and the closing ceremony takes place. Then, we teachers go out in the evening to eat and drink in celebration of having pulled it all off without having had to strangle anyone!
Now that the culture festival is finished and the sports day is a month past, things are supposed to settle into a more routine schedule. Hopefully, this means I'll have a predictable pattern of classes and will get to know the students a bit better...
