So, not much has happened really in the past few weeks. During the week I am in school from 9:30am until 6:15 or 7pm depending on the night. Classes are going well. For this month, I teach Kindergarten first (at 10am) for a class called Phonics Vowels which is just the name of the book that I teach them with. Then I teach again every day right after lunch. On Monday's I teach Manners. Let me just say, Korean kids do not have very good manners. So far I've taught them how to introduce themselves and how and when to say "thank you" and "I'm sorry." Alongside that, I have to fill out a Manner's Checklist every day on each student's progress. I have the same checklist for a month. Let's just say, they still haven't mastered what to do yet.
On Tuesday's and Thursday I teach a class called Show & Tell. This is not what you think of as Show & Tell at home however. It's really just meant to get the students speaking in front of each other. We've talked about colors, numbers through 10 and body parts so far. On Wednesdays, I teach Art and on Friday's I teach Blocks. The Blocks class is just about using various manipulates with the students to teach them about different concepts. The one I am teaching them now is time and they are learning to use and read an analog clock. Both of these classes are going pretty well. On Monday's and Wednesday I also teach Yoga. As most of you know, I love Yoga, but I've only done it using Wii Fit Plus. Although you make fun of me (and I love you all for it :)) I still think Wii Fit Yoga is real. Haha I teach my kids the poses I've learned from that and also some other ones I found on YouTube. It's a lot of fun and it gets some of the kids to focus better. Others.. Peter.. I'm still working on.
Tonight after work we are going out for eel with our boss. I have been looking forward to trying this ever since I saw a Food Network or Travel Channel show that Andrew saved for me (I think it was Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman?)! The episode I saw focused on Korean foods and at first the eel thing freaked me out but after they cooked it, it looked really delicious. I hope I'm not disappointed! I'll let you know how that goes, hopefully with pictures soon!
