Extra Tests

Today Lauma and I sat our "extra" kanji test at lunchtime. I think it went all right due to my usual "study over breakfast" learning regime. I think I've forgotten them all already!

Linden Hall was pretty good today. I taught with Lauma (as usual for a Monday) and I think we've come up with a game that they all enjoyed. It's pretty simple and we basically don't have to do anything. We gave one kid a flash card and had them describe the thing to the rest of the group. Obviously they're not allowed to say the word, and we often have to prompt them with questions. Some are better than others, but they could all do it. Then we gave a point to the describer and another to the person that guessed correctly: that way everyone gets points.

Brendan had an interesting class in which one of his kids announced that he'd peed on his chair. Brendan was like "ok, then" and moved the chair away, whereupon the child exclaimed that he'd peed on the next seat as well. Sounds like he just decided not to go the bathroom. I think Brendan coped with the situation well; I think I would have lost it.
