Start of Winter Term

Week One? Check!
I have finished week one with my new kids! I like my younger kids a lot because they are interactive during class. I can also be more interactive with these younger classes because it is a lower level.
For example, during the first half an hour they look at a couple of pictures and come up with words they think of when they see these pictures. The pictures are about the story we read in class.
Last week the picture was about camp. I asked if they have ever been to any camps and started a discussion that way.
They have been to Academic camps, but nothing like we have for summer camps. I told them about my experience at Camp Stella Maris. It brought me back to how much fun I had during the summers as a kid.

I have only taught two middle school classes so far. My third middle school class has been cancelled for the past two weeks for exams they are taking. I will get to meet them next week. So far, the middle school kids are respectful of me. It is really the only thing that I ask :)

Nothing too crazy happening here. Yesterday I went to Namdaemun market with Rachael to get more Oatmeal! They have the huge container of Quaker Oats. I like it more than cereal because I can't have milk anymore. We also found this one place in the market selling coats for really cheap. I bought a pretty blue coat that will be warm in the winter.
We just did some exploring and ended the day with some delicious Kimchi Soup!!!

Today (Monday) I have school off. I don't teach on Monday unless someone needs me to sub for their class!
I will be heading to a coffee shop and prepping for all my classes this week. Hopefully it won't take me TOO long to prep :)

Enjoy your week,

Kristen
