I haven't really written anything yet about my job or the work that I have been doing. I think it’s because I really haven’t had too many interesting things to write, also I can’t really write too much about lessons or anything because of the company policy on that. However I will give a little bit about summer school.
I started working here just before the wonderful time that is Summer School. Though the kids may have a break from public school, they don’t all get time off from Peppy Kids Club. Peppy does a summer school course that lasts two weeks. It starts the last week of July and ends the first week of August. It’s meant to be a little change from the normal Peppy program and it is. Not all kids attend Summer School courses so there are a few who do get two weeks off from attending English lessons.
There are 3 levels and each has its fun moments and its challenges. My favourite course was the B course. It was the course that had most of my favourite students and was both entertaining and educational. The A course was very genki and a little crazy since it is the youngest students and their parents which can be a little nerve wracking. The C course is the older kids, so it’s not as fun and a lot to get through.

I enjoyed the 8 intense days of work and I was lucky in that I didn’t have the craziest schedule. Like my regular teaching schedule my summer school load was quit light. I was also lucky in that the students that came to summer school were some of those that I really enjoy teaching regularly. It looked like the students had a good time and from what I’ve heard from the JTs at my schools the kids like it. I had fun and even with the parents sitting in on a few of my courses I managed. I was even lucky enough to get some cheesecake squares as a thank you from one of the mothers who had 3 kids enrolled in Summer School.
