today again were songs, games, the play "at all, blame the cat" and a Power Point presentation on the program, so nothing spectacular. Thus, the cost BLOG-Leser/innen (and comment writers) do not have the impression that there were only girls at these schools, here is the proof. In the photo you see the very small group of a 10th Class that meets only the last 4 weeks German. As can be seen easily, they bear witness to me just how much the In Rich enjoy with me. could
In a free hour I convince myself of the excellent facilities of the school. A beautiful library, where operates a retired teacher, modern kitchens and utility rooms, a media room with interactive whiteboard, but is not used in practice, etc.
was I then in how Krista an hour for the children
the 1 . Class, gave a small group of 7-year-old, visiting the so-called German-circle. It was very interesting to see how motivated the kids play around and wrestled to the language, and the question is inevitably where the sticking point for the next few years increasing disinterest content. When I look into the faces of some 9.-Klasser/innen on completion of this year, I can read exactly what they think so. Then she brought up children in the hoard, which is free, and where they are supervised by a retired teacher who still what deserves to. Krista has a total of 25 hours in 8 German classes (by terminal 6-12), 2 hours in class 1 and 2 hours in the kindergarten. About lack of employment, they can not complain.
After the 4th Hour there every Tuesday a
teachers Assembly, where are discussed in 15, 20 minutes, the most important school-related things. Of the 70-80 colleagues about 2 / 3 were present, an estimated 10% are male, including of course the director and one of 3 Stell-vertreter/innen. In the photo you see how I am grateful to the Director of the Tabasalu Gymnasium before the assembled faculty for inviting me to be able to work here. After the teachers excel hardly Everyone has his own room, while children often sit 20 minutes at the bottom course, many do not know too much about each other. The coffee room is almost always empty and is used only for short dates, all seen them together only at official functions and conferences at the district because the school year is divided into four parts. 
The transition itself, the teachers and students (Of which some but always too late), information on large screens on where to go they must, if there are changes, what class has what, where colleagues are using, etc.
Despite the rather cool temperature of 5 degrees was run over and I was surprised in a brief hailstorm. Here by the sea the weather changes relatively quickly, for soon after the sun appeared again. (Well, as in life!)
then picked me up Krista, to show me a
primary school (1st-6th class) in neighboring Vääna, which is housed in a former country estate, which according to expropriations of farms in the 20's and then of course later in the Russian occupation in more than 60 schools in the case. Here in this small school would really like to teach every teacher 
: High-ceilinged rooms in a historic atmosphere with stoves in nearly every room, original furnishings and a beautiful park - and fewer children per class. On photo you see as the rooms of the teachers.

After the weekend 13 teachers from 5 countries (Lux, F, PL, D and?) Come to visit, it is for them a short "tour" given on Friday. Now I benefit from my minimal guitar playing, and it asked me for a song of the 6th Class accompany, and we also will contribute more to the "winners song" where have the teachers will participate (which they still do not know - ha-ha), and on the CD with the Estonian Hits I einVersion of "Help me make it Through the Night "is one. I have downloaded the text and now we will also give even more on Friday for the best - "Give the hair with ribbon from the" - "Help me make it ..." and "Aita mööda saata öö," one stanza. You should even hear me sing Estonian! It's all in German, the pure insanity, but only in Estonian! - About the potential effect ,.... I give notice at the weekend after the concert.
addition, we have decided participate in a theater festival on Wednesday. While there is no time for rehearsals, but "No risk, no fun, there is nothing to lose. First you have the text (linguistic and acoustic) prepare to make fun recognizable behind the sketches and then it goes to the games. - See Well, you will. - Also I will report.
drove the afternoon then in the National Library for the awards ceremony an essay competition called Perplex. The invitation was from the Austrian embassy and then there was a small snack.
Then I was with Krista and an Austrian colleague at a pizzeria, where to exchange our experiences in the recent weeks later - a welcome change.
