We're goin to the train station!

So once a month we go on a field trip with all the kinders and preschoolers. This month we went to the Train Museum. Not that exciting but the kids seemed to have fun.

Literacy Centers

So my Kindergarten classes are pretty structured. Phonics, writing, computers, and even art is pretty well planned out. But I teach the kids reading everyday, and there is a lot more flexability there. So to make things a little more interesting for the kids I have started to do literacy centers with them. I've only done it twice so far, but it worked out really well and I was so proud of my kids. This teaching is basically new to me, as I've only ever subbed, except for the last 4 months in high school before I came here. So I feel pretty good about what I'm doing. It would be very easy just to follow the schedual and the plans they have for you. But I am really enjoying putting in some extra effort and doing more with the kids. Here are some pics of my class and Alys class(who I also teach reading to) on the first day I did the centers with them.

After the Soup

So after dinner, Nikki and Katie went home. Nikki ended up having larengitus. Poor girl. Didn't know it at the time. Our friend Meg came and met me and John, and we were going to go to some fireworks show, but it was so busy out, and it would have taken forever to get there, so we just decided to go for drinks. We ended up at a place that is a car wash by day, and then at night they pull across the gold curtain around the walls and take out the plastic tables and its a cheap place to drink! Megs sister ended up coming and meeting us, and we drank the night away with pot after pot of soju(or what we have named sojuice, soju mixed with different flavours of juice). I tell ya I was hurting the next day. Here's a few pics of the beginning of the night.





Snack time!
