I opened this blog to keep track a few of my lessons/ideas/etc that spark my interest in education, and to collaborate with fellow teachers. Please feel free to also take a look at my website https://sites.google.com/site/michaelpalagi/ to read a little bit more about me.


I welcome you to comment and share any ideas you may have, advice from others would be very appreciated!


It is mostly a rough journal, so pardon any grammar/spelling mistakes.

Fall is in the Air

Fall is very well celebrated in Japan, with people going out the mountains, valleys, Kyoto, or up north to go see the changing of the seasons. We are lucky to be close to the park, which is full of ginkgo trees and turn a wonderful yellow.
We usually go early in the morning so the park is quite empty besides a few runners and other families.
We made our way to the ginkgo area and were lucky enough to find the entire area clean as can be and not a leaf out of place. We got out our brooms and built a huge pile of leaves that we jumped in and threw all over!

Nothing like having a little bit of fun to increase their motivation to learn and come to school while celebrating the seasons.
