Holidays at Tsunan

At Tsunan today. Like Tokamachi, even though it's the holiday some students are in school for club activities. The teachers were in preparing for the new year. I noticed that there were fewer lockers in the students entrance than there was a week ago. I think this year there are less students starting than in previous years. I dont know if it has anything to do with is but in a couple of years Tsunan Koko will be turning into a joint JHS/SHS and this year will be the last SHS intake. What happens to my job next year, when there will be no first years to teach, I don't know.

Still, I know I have a job this academic year. With this in mind I set about completing Ikarashi-sensei's Phonics Display. Pretty much all done, apart from a card for "mother, [th]", which I'll finish for Thursday.

Response to my email yesterday has been good. There will be twelve of us going to Albirex this Saturday so a decent crowd. Let's hope we can get into teh North Stand with teh other nutters.
