High School Welcome Party

This year brought some big changes. My main JTE from my first two years was transferred to a new school.

今年最初からの英語の先生は引っ越した。友達から、さみしい。

Somehow that means I get two new JTEs. One is a brand new teacher. She seems like she’ll be a lot of fun.

新しい先生はこの前に大学卒業した。楽しそう先生。

The next is a teacher who worked with a different friend last year. It sounds like his main job is to support my new JTE as she learns the ropes of being a new teacher.

次、去年に友達と英語を教えた。仕事は新しい英語先生の手伝うそう。

This was dessert. Isn’t it pretty?

デザトー。 きれいね。

After every one of the new female teachers did their intros, they asked “how about S-sensei?” (as in dating him). I had been thankful that I wasn’t a new teacher having to do an intro. Then all the previous teachers had to do intros. You know how this ends.

新しい女の先生の自己紹介の後、この2人は「S先生はどう?」と言いた。 私はその時に自己紹介しなかたから、安心した。 でも、その後、新しくない先生は自己紹介した。もちろん、その質問を聞いた。

Probably the most common sight at an enkai. Pouring more beer (or tea, if it’s my glass).

歓迎会にだいたいこれ見える。

The whole group. It’s going to be fun to teach with these teachers for another year.

全員。 もう一年は楽しそう。

Welcome party!

Today was the entrance ceremony for the new 1st year students at the junior high school. In Japan, the elementary students don’t wear school uniforms, so I’ve seen them lots of times in regular clothes, but not looking so spiffy in their uniforms.

今日中学で入学式。 日本には小学生は制服が着ないから、毎年新しい1年生がかわいいと思う。

This evening we had a welcome party for the new teachers. Mr. I read information about the new teachers and we had to guess which teacher’s info he was reading. It was fun getting to talk with the new teachers and the ones who had been around for a while.

夕方に新しい先生のため歓迎会があった。I先生は新しい先生の自己紹介から読んだ。 私たちはどちらと答えた。 新しい先生と去年にいた先生と会話が楽しかった。

One of my favorite things at these kinds of parties is once the teachers start drinking, even a little, how much random English comes out.

えんかいで先生は飲むたびに、たくさん英語できる。びっくり!

At the end we took a picture. The first one was relatively normal. But this one shows more of the attitude of the evening.

最後に写真を撮った。 最少のは普通けど、この写真はえんかいの気持ちのほうが近い。

Totally irrelevant to the rest of the post, I started a new crochet project today!

入学式とえんかい以外は今日新しいかぎばりあみのプロジェクを始まった。
