Yeah, so I'm really behind on my brogs. (Engrish for blog, since in Korean, there is no difference between the "r" sound and the "l" sound.) So I'm going to post pictures with captions and then add text later, so at least you can see what I've been up to. Keep visiting back for the story of my life! [View Full Entry]

Today is Wednesday, so that means Haba Orda, or German game day, for the Kinders. I haven’t a clue about how to play any of the games because they’re all in German. I usually pick out tangrams-like games and picture-matching-type games. Sometimes, the kids are able to figure them out, but other times, well, 90 percent of the time, they only play with the pieces. They love to dump the game pieces in the play sink or in different containers and make-believe play. Today, one of the little boys was playing a poker type game with alphabet cards and apparently, I [View Full Entry]

So today we had our weekly trip to Gymshule. Before we left, one of my students gave me a packet of something and I asked my co-teachers what it was, and In-Suk said, “Chocolate, but not good.” So she thinks it’s terrible, so later, I may have to try it. I’ve only met one bar of chocolate that I didn’t like, so as a chocolate connoisseur, I must try it. On the way there, as the weekly occurrence goes, we had 14 kids and four adults in the car and of course, we almost die about three times. We get to [View Full Entry]

…Wish it were Friday! Nothing really eventful happened today. I was exhausted by the end of the day. I was kind of peeved, too. In my afternoon classes, kids aren’t doing their homework, and there really is no punishment for them, but when their parents ask me why they aren’t getting any better, I guess I’ll have to tell them it’s the kid’s fault for not doing their homework. I wonder how that will go over. Joni got back from vacation and she said she had a wonderful time. She said that she got some wonderful rest and neat buys from [View Full Entry]

I got up this morning around 9 o’clock and dilly-dallied around until about 10 o’clock when Dad called. Mom was still in Missouri on her rock trip and Dad had said that she was having a great time, other than some minor setbacks like rain and a flat-tire by one vehicle in the group. Maximus P is doing well. Apparently, he is getting fatter, which is no surprise to me. He’s always been a lovable big boy. My hands have finally healed from his claw marks. He doesn’t mean to, but when he plays, he ends up clawing his playmate to [View Full Entry]

I woke up this morning and talked to Dad. Mom is apparently having a great time in Missouri and has already found some rocks, although it rained on them. We talked for quite a while, but I had to get ready to go because I wanted to head out to Gaeksa today. I got ready and walked to the main street to pick up a cab. I successfully asked for Gaeksa and the cab driver understood. It’s a miracle! So I took a 10 to 15 minute ride, which cost about $4 total. The driver dropped me off across from the [View Full Entry]

Today was Friday, so the Kinders were either going to have outside class or there was going to be a birthday party. Well, today was the birthday party for the September birthdays. It was quite strange, actually. We did our morning routine and then around 10:40, we went up to the fifth floor where they pushed back the accordion wall to make one big room out of two smaller classrooms. I had my cookies come in and sit down and I one little girl who is just as stubborn as can be. She won’t talk to me and she is constantly [View Full Entry]
