Today was my last day working at Kita Junior High school. I have been so lucky this year to be able to work the fabulous English team of Miho Fuseya sensei and Noriko Kobayashi sensei. These ladies let me plan my own last lessons. In grade one we played colored clothes Battle Ship. In grade two we had some fantastic People Bingo. Finally the third graders experienced some fabulous Block Buster action. (and the best part the kids didn’t even know that they were studying).

Over the last couple of weeks we had been doing a unit on FAIR TRADE with my third grade classes. At the end of the day one of my students came up to me with a smile on his face.
