Busy, busy, busy!

It has been a very, very busy week!

This week was the first week of real teaching.

All of my students are wonderful.  They are such a positive, silly, excitable, and helpful group.  Sometimes they have trouble paying attention in all of their English subjects, but us girls have found it pretty easy to bring them back.  One thing that I found very interesting is that in the beginning of each class, the classroom leader says in a loud voice "please stand up!", and then all of the students stand.  In unison, and while wai-ing, the students say "good morning/afternoon Ms. Kelsey".  I then say "good morning/afternoon class.  You may sit down".  Finally the students say "thank you Ms. Kelsey", and take their seats.  At the end of every class the same thing happens; the students stand up, say thank you, and wai their classroom teachers.  It is quite nice actually!

This week was the last week of our first course!

We finished our first course this week, Special Education.  That means that us girls have been busy making presentations and writing papers on top of attending classes in the evening. The course was very, very educational.  On top of having a wonderful teacher who is passionate about the subject and really knows her stuff, it was really nice having a course in such an informal setting and with such a small group.  We have a whole week off from classes now as our next course doesn't start for another week. What to do with all that spare time??

Love you all!
