Quick update

Today was a good day in school, I had arts and crafts in all my classes today rather than workbooks.  I managed to keep the 7 year olds occupied with that most of the 80 minute class, they both finished early, one of the classes I had read books, the other I had work on workbooks because we got a little behind the day before.  The 6 year olds of course were a bit more of a problem, they of course wanted to run around more than they wanted to draw and color.  But it went well more or less.  Yesterday was a good day too with the 6 year olds, though the most tiring I've had.  I spent more effort controlling them yesterday than I have any other, but we got a lot of work done, and it wasn't too chaotic.  There are three trouble makers in that class, so I never have an easy day, and they are 6 years old so they are all full of energy, and all want my attention.  But I know all their names now, and am picking up on who needs special attention in what areas, so I can better focus my attention and keep the class working optimally.

We have a field trip tomorrow, I'm curious to see how that goes, but excited to get out of Gwangju and see somewhere else.  Here are a few of the photos I took on my day off, I will put all of them on facebook if you want to see the rest.

Cool outdoor shrine thing, no shoes allowed on it, even outside!


I like how the giant apartment buildings are across the street from the forest
