Things to cherish precisely because the third term passes in the blink of an eye
Article 1054
Hello, I am Traveler Teacher X.
Today, I would like to write about the third term that passes in the blink of an eye.
This article is especially recommended for those who work with children.
Even if that does not apply to you, you might feel a sense of nostalgia, so please take a look.
The table of contents is as follows.
January to March at school passes in the blink of an eye
The third term is the shortest of all terms
The third term only has about 11 weeks in total.
While this is not felt as much in schools that use a two-term system, it is the shortest period in a three-term system.
Although there are some differences depending on the local government, the number of days is around 50.
Because the period is short and events like graduation ceremonies overlap, it feels like a period that passes even faster.
Precisely because it is short, cherish each and every day
While it is a shame that it is short, there are also some advantages.
That is, because the end is easy to see, it becomes easier to cherish each and every day.
It becomes easier to set and work toward small milestone goals, such as things that can be accomplished during this school year.
There are also things that can be tackled positively precisely because there is a set deadline, aren't there?
I believe that such experiences will remain within the children and become a source of strength even after they move up a grade.
Rather than just letting the time slip by because it is short, I think it will be a good time for the children if they spend it with the mindset of making it fulfilling precisely because it is short.
Things to cherish precisely because the third term passes in the blink of an eye
Finally, I would like to conclude by writing about things to cherish precisely because it is the third term.
There are mainly two points.
Having children experience the dissolution of a group in a way that is beneficial to them
The first is the experience of the dissolution of a group that is beneficial for the children.
I believe that many children have been living as a group at school since April.
It is a matter of course, but if you have started living as a group, the end of that group life will eventually arrive.
At school, it can be said that the end of life as a group means class reshuffling or a change in homeroom teachers.
How do we welcome the end of the time spent together as a group?
I believe this is an experience that can be applied not only to school life, but also when you enter society and belong to an organization, or when you belong to any group in your private life.I think.
I believe that the dissolution of a group is a good opportunity to think about and experience whether it has a positive influence on oneself and those around them.
With the end in sight, about 30 days remaining, isn't now a good time for us to think about our own way of 'ending'?
'How do we want to welcome the dissolution of the group?'
For those involved with children, I think it would be good to take this opportunity to offer words that serve as a catalyst for thinking about this.
Bridging toward moving up a grade
The second point is bridging toward moving up a grade.
I think there are two major aspects: academic and daily life, but I place importance on the daily life aspect.
Among the aspects of daily life, I feel that matters related to communication are particularly important.
In April, it is not uncommon for people to struggle to adjust to a new environment at the start of a group.
Therefore, I believe that it is good to gradually build up momentum during the third term for the new start in April.
Specifically, this involves looking back on how you have gradually built relationships through communication since April, and rethinking what you were careful about that led to success.
I think it might even be good to try a little role-playing.
It is like practicing for new encounters.
You might think that is going too far, but I believe these communication skills, while not reflected in grades, are very useful skills for living life.
I incorporate this not just as a bridge to what comes next, but because I believe it will benefit the children in the future.
I carry this out with the image of it being a bridge to the future, rather than just a bridge to the next grade.
I hope to engage with the children in a way that makes the third term, which passes in the blink of an eye, even better for them.
If you have an opportunity to interact with children, please try using the content of this discussion as a topic.
It might become a catalyst for their growth.
That is all for this time.
