Last weekend we had culture festival. It was fun! I ate so much including hot dogs, popcorn, ice cream, squid, churros, etc. Eventually, I had a stomach ache. I had my first basketball game last weekend, now that I'm in basketball, but I didn't play because it was the seniors last game. Basketball is so tiring with all the conditioning and stuff but I am getting so buff. haha jk.. :) But seriously, it is so hard. It is much different than American basketball because they are so hard on themselves. I have a lot of work at school plus the basketball hours but I am mostly busy. I had Monday off so my friends and I decided to make a random video. It is actually pretty good. Check it out on the link below.

Class Observations
Januck and I were able to go observe Rachel's History class and Alex's Math class on Sunday. Yes, they had school on Sunday! It was interesting to see the students learning and debating in English. They are both in a Bilingual Program here in Numazu where we live. The school where I teach 4th grade and Januck teaches 6th grade, as of April is a feeder school to the Junior High and High School that the kids go to. This year Rachel will be gearing up for IB tests and college applications. She is looking at Queensland University in Brisbane, Australia as her top choice. Alex has a Personal Project to do and has chosen a technology project, either a short film or an animated film. He is also, on the basketball team. It is great to see the kids adjusting to their High School and doing well in school.
