Welcome Sayaka!

Our department at school has a new member: Sayaka (a.k.a. Sayuri) Kawahara. Sayaka is a former student of Okisho. She is coming back now as a teacher of English, this year focusing mostly on STEP examination preparation. It has been awesome having her in the office here... she speaks great English and has a very positive attitude. The dynamics at work ROCK! Last night we went out to Daikon no Hana, a restaurant known for its organic food buffet. The food was awesome, and I broke out the "quiz game" again. This time the subjects were Sayaka and Kabashima - he's not new to the school but he is a math teacher whose desk is surrounded by English teachers... so we wanted him to join in on the fun. I learned a lot about both of them, and of course I learned more about Kenney, too! Anyways, I am looking forward to another great year at Okisho!
沖尚の国立・私立文系職員室に新しい先生が加わった。川原小夜香(小百合じゃない)先生は沖尚から卒業しましたけど、また教諭として戻ってきました。今年は英検の授業がメインで高1・2の授業を担当しています。彼女は明るくてとても優しいですので、職員室の居心地はさらに明るくなっています。昨日の夜はケニー、グレイス、小夜香さん、樺島ん、そして僕が「だいこんの花」という有機食物レストランで歓迎会を行った。そして、小夜香さんクイズ&樺島んクイズを作った。本当にこの一年間、共に働くことができて感謝してます!

Going back to work at the highschool you graduated from. It's one of my dreams to teach at my old highschool. It's a shame I would have to be in America to do that!
