Already March?

Today was another day at 2 elementary schools since it is Tuesday! I had one school in the morning and I like going to this one in the mornings...particularly because I don't have to teach the other grades besides 5th and 6th grade...which means that I get to have a nice break instead of having the classes. So I taught the classes there and this is the 2nd to last time that I'll be at that school for this school year, so we are trying to finish up the textbooks as much as possible. Then the next time that I go, we will do fun games and other cool stuff! Nakagawa shogakko is also the school that I'll be doing my mini concert at this Friday, so I got some more details about that today and all the teachers are really excited to hear me play! I'm glad that they all appreciate the music and it makes me feel good. I'm also glad that I decided to learn that song before coming to Japan otherwise I wouldn't have a good full song to be able to play!

Then in the afternoon I headed over to my other elementary school (Chimachi shogakko) where I finished up the afternoon with the 5th and 6th grade classes. It was a pretty good day overall...I played lots of games with the kids ranging from BINGO to Karuta to gesture games. When you have fun games, it makes the time go by more quickly and is more enjoyable for both myself and the kids.

But the thing that shocked me the most and got to me today was the fact that it's already March! I feel like this year just started, and here we are...already flying into March where it will become Spring pretty soon! The weather today didn't show very promising Spring weather. Cold and rainy and no flowers blooming doesn't seem like a very good outlook to the new season. But it's still early and before I know it the weather will change and become nice! But I do feel a difference lately. I wake up in the morning and it's not as painfully cold to get out from under the covers as it used to be. It's at least over 50 degrees F in my house now when I wake up! Most of the time! Haha!!!

Well, tonight I'm going to take it easy and relax. I have to do some preparation for my Eikaiwa class tomorrow night and I have to finish editing old blogs that I haven't posted yet and get those up.

Well, enjoy and I will hopefully get some rest tonight!
