Teaching

Colleen isn't the only teacher around here. Breaking my new year's resolution, I accepted a part-time job offer and started teaching at Yamano Gakkou, the local forestry school, this week. I feel completely unqualified (College degree? Nope. People skills? Certainly not. Work with kids? Never.) but I guess speaking english is enough around these parts. The kids are cool and the job gets bonus points because I get to use on my graphic design skills to design worksheets and handouts. This week's lesson: basic colors & simple introduction phrases. Up next: common nature terms (tree, grass, leaf, etc.) and whatever else I can conjure up by then.
