The Teachers are Students as Well

Oh, two posts in one day...whoo hoo!

Ok, so while my first day of teaching isn't officially over, I have finished teaching my classes for the day. I had four classes to teach today, all third grade. It wasn't really that difficult at all, but there were still things I had to learn as the day went on. It's been interesting to see how different the classes act, based on their teacher instruction. One class that I taught today was amazingly well behaved. They were quiet when they needed to be, listened intently and followed direction from both me and their regular teacher. It was pretty awesome. The other classes were also good, but there was just a noticeable difference in the behavior of that one particular class.

Peace Like a River

I know that I have been horrible at updating this, but I promise to do  more in the future, especially since I am now in Anseong, S.Korea!!!

So I have a lot to catch up with, but can't really at the moment, because I am prepping for class. But I did want to put in a little tidbit about peace.

Yesterday was my first full day in Korea, and I spent the day at my school, meeting people and learning how the day runs. Shopping and other activites were also done (like a pretty expensive dr's appointment. ugh). All in all, I learned a lot of information over the course of the day.
