Week 110: December 4 – 8, 2023 Day 763: December 4, 2023 Monday – Rumoi Rumoi High School 12.4.2023 It’s a cold but clear Monday morning. It didn’t snow last night, and it was probably warmer as some of the snow melted a bit. This made some areas slippery. I slipped several times on my way to work, but thankfully, I didn’t fall. I’m back at Rumoi High School for today's school visit for my usual Monday schedule.  Here’s my workload for today: (Cancelled) 2nd period – Performance Task presentation @ 3-4 of Sengoku-sensei 5th period – Performance Task presentation @ 1-56 of Matsuda-sensei Classes were canceled after the first period, and the students were asked to go home However, after the first period, Kyoto-sensei called for an emergency meeting. All classes were canceled, and the students were asked to go home. This is because of the ongoing flu pandemic. It was so bad that one class only had 9 / 25 students present.  Rumoi High School also declared Tuesday and Wednesday t...

Weekend 109: December 2 – 3, 2023 Day 761: December 2, 2023 Saturday – Rumoi City It's a bitterly cold Saturday morning here in Rumoi City, with temperatures as low as -6 degrees. Despite not having any travel plans for the day, several important tasks still needed to be completed, which required us to venture out into the city. Ella enjoying her task of clearing the snow Before leaving the warmth of our house, my daughter and I decided to clear the snow around Ruru , our beloved car, and the parking area. It was an uphill task, but we knew it had to be done. In addition to this, I took a walk towards Midorigaoka Elementary School in a hopeful attempt to find my wife's lost phone, which she had misplaced somewhere along the path. Sadly, my search yielded no results. The phone is likely hidden beneath the layers of snow by now, and if we are fortunate enough to find it, it will have to wait until spring when the snow thaws. It's not a road trip, but we did the "mandato...

Week 109: November 27 – December 1, 2023 Day 756: November 27, 2023 Monday – Rumoi Rumoi High School 11.27.2023 It’s a snowy Monday. It’s the start of another week. Like always, I’m reporting for work at my main school – Rumoi High School .  Matsuda-sensei is absent today, so I don’t have my usual collaboration work. I spent this time updating my PowerPoint presentations and also studying Japanese. It has been quite a while since I was formally studying the language, and I was disappointed to discover that I had forgotten a lot of information I had learned before. English Club game Deserted Island In the afternoon, we had the English Club. We did the survival game “Deserted Island”. It was surprising how the club members could explain their ideas well.  My wife made Chawan mushi for the first time The main dish for the night: Yakiudon When I got home, I was delighted that my wife had prepared a super delicious meal for the family.  Day 757: November 28, 2023 Tuesday – R...
