Say whaaaat!
I have a tentative exit plan, which mostly involves me putting all the materials I've handmade over the past two years and extra exercises into chronologically arranged folders for each class and making them look pretty. I also need to buy some small gifts to give to my English teachers as a thank you for letting me work there (I've already done this for one of them).
This is one of the ways I teach vocabulary. I was pretty proud of myself for that pitcher of water.
I have some small paperwork items to be completed for Peace Corps, but these will be fairly simple.
One of my English teachers will be at re-certification courses for these next two weeks, so guess what that means: I'll be solo teaching her classes! Exciting, right? Yes? No? Maybe? One of those classes is the tenth form, and they're fairly unambitious so while I'm not looking forward to it, it shouldn't be too bad. The other class is the third form, and this is the one I'm most worried about. They're a large class, they're young and energetic, and they need very specific, detailed instructions in Ukrainian to understand what to do. Their lesson could either be a little rough but fun, or pure mayhem. Then I remind myself that the worst that could happen is they go bananas and yell and scream and run around for 45 minutes, and I stop worrying so much.
Anecdote of the week: I told my counterpart teacher when my last day of school would be, and she said okay and then started rambling on about how I've done good work or something. Except, I don't remember exactly what she said because I was too mesmerized by THE HUGE SMILE ON HER FACE. I can't really do anything but laugh about her inability to keep her true emotions off her face.
And in between now and my last day of school, another glorious event will be happening: Luba's (my landlady) birthday! I'm always happy about chances to celebrate her wonderfulness.
