モチベーションを上げたい！

While studying time in the morning, grade 7 students came and asked me to teach mathematics. We went to laboratory and studied together. I thought like I wish grade 5 learners also had motivation like them! I also thought I have to raise up them motivation to study mathematics. I want to make them like mathematics. 

But! There were also students who had motivation for mathematics in grade 5! On my way to home, some learners in grade 5 talked to me and walked together. Then they asked to me that teach them mathematics this afternoon in mission. I had a plan to join farewell party for 3B which is Sesiria san is teaching, so I promised I will teach them after party if I have a time. 

Sesiria san prepared rice, soup, sausages, sweets for her learners. She collected N$5 from learners to held the party. But only 15 out of 39 learners could afford to pay it. It’s about ¥40. 村のご家庭の家計事情を垣間見た気がしました。There were not all learners in her class, but learners seemed to be happy. They went to river, ate foods and snacks. 

What I impressed again was how to use nature for life. This learner washing a dish with sands. If the dish is oily, washing with sands is good to take off oil. I didn’t know that. Very eco and clever!! 

After party, I visited study room in mission, then I taught mathematics to grade 5 learners. I was glad that some learners had motivation like this. I will do revision tomorrow morning, and they will write paper 1. Do our best together!! 

今やっているテストは、子どもたちが進級できるかできないかを左右する、重要なものです。テスト以外にも日々の課題やトピックテストの点数も成績には入りますが、学期末ごととこの学年末のテストの点数の割合は大きいものです。合計の成績で、規定の値に達していなければ留年になってしまいます。特に英語と算数が合格していないと、他がよくても留年決定です。なので、子どもたちにとっても先生たちにとっても、大事なテストです。

きのうの理科のテストは3枚綴りだったのでホチキスしないといけませんでした。大抵そんな感じです！
