Tiring Tuesday

It was an elementary school Tuesday for me. I spent the morning teaching 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th grade at one school and taught 5th and 6th grade at the other school in the afternooon....talk about a full day!

As I said before, most of my elementary school days are always full days. Very tiring. But it's rewarding because I can tell that the kids enjoy it...for the most part!! Haha. I taught colors to the younger kids and played many games incorporating the use and understanding of the colors. They always like the different games and I have fun running them as well since it's fun for me.

But I ended the day by going over to Ohara to pay for my school lunch bills at the Board of Education. I was planning to pick up my buddy and we were going to go grab some dinner. So we went to eat at a family owned Japanese restaurant close-by called "Kaneyo." That's our go to place and they have a huge assortment of Japanese style dishes. Since it's family owned, it's relatively cheap and they serve a TON of food in the dish! It's great!

So we went there and the owner knows my friend and me because we go there quite often. But what I didn't know is that her son goes to one of the elementary schools I teach at in Ohara. I noticed that while we were sitting waiting for food, one of the boys ran across an opening, stared at us, and went hiding. I guess he was just shy, because when we were served our food, the owner asked if I taught at the elementary school that her son attends. Of course he was one of my students and I guess all kids are shy when they see their teachers in a place other than the classroom.

Well, I thought that was pretty funny and I guess I will be seeing her son in school now!
