Bunkei Year-End Party


I work in the department of Humanities at my school, also known as Bunkei. We have 80 11th graders and we all love them dearly. ("We" is Mr. Suzuki - Kenney, Mrs. Higa - Yukky, me, Mr. Enoki - Mr. E, Miss Kawahara - Sayaka, and others.) Well, we decided to throw them a little party the day after Christmas, because they worked so hard all semester, and probably didn't want to endure another 3 hours of English classes before the break. So we created a few games, and then a special guest appeared: EnoSanta! Mr. Enoki is a big man, and the kids see him as somewhat of a teddy-bear. So he put on a Santa costume and delivered candy to them all. It was a special moment for the kids. Then, he gave them an encouraging message and a song. Great way to end the semester! I look forward to 3 more months of working with these kids!

クリスマスの翌日は2時間連続英語の授業だった。生徒たちも先生方も疲れていて、いつもの勉強はしたくなかった。なので、私たちはゲームを用意して体育館を借りて楽しい英語の時間を持ちました。色んな賞も与えてみんな盛り上がった!スリーピースチューデント賞(松田君&森田さん)、冊子管理賞(佐久本さん&真栄城さん)、冊子何とかして賞(村山君)、字がキレイで賞(嶺井君&仲宗根さん)、英語で頑張りま賞(島袋君&松本君)、本当はアメリカ人で賞(佐久本さん&屋比久さん&仲本君)など、たくさん賞を与えた中で生徒たちは来学期に向けて頑張りたいと思ってるようになったで賞?
