Koseda

This is the elementary school I taught at today. The classrooms are around 50 degrees and the kids are wearing shorts and windows and doors are open over the place. Lots of people tell me its sooo cold but I think some people say it just to make me feel better cause they can tell I really am.
I was playing soccer with the kids, slipped and covered one of my pant legs in mud. The kids didn't really notice though, I think they do it all the time.

Recently I started I've started writing 5 new words I hear everyday. Today's words are:
1. usugi - a word that means one is wearing very few layers of clothing. atsugi is the opposite
2. kudaranai- trifling, unimportant, frivolous
3. namerakani- smoothly, easily. used with sound or music
4. habuku- to omit, the cut out
5. dachou- ostrich

Looks like a pretty big school. We had another big dump of snow last night, about 5" and now it's melting some to only freeze again tonight. I have been working on a blog for our new Palouse NKBA chapter, check it out. Mom

Its not a list of 5 words I hear everyday, its a list of 5 new words a day. One of my words today was kumade, meaning rake. The kanji is bear/hand. naisu!
