First day of school

So I know it's the day after, but I keep falling asleep really early. I went to the school at 10, and my first class wasn't until 10:20. I had a group of seven year olds. The seven year olds are split into two groups for English class by skill level. I had the lower skill level kids yesterday. They weren't a bad class, but they were very loud and energetic.

The next class was the four year olds. Keep in mind that these are Korean ages, so they can be one or two years younger than their Korean age. So these kids would be 2-3 pretty much anywhere else in the world. As soon as I walked in the room some little girl started freaking out crying. I read them a book and talked about loud and quiet noises. Then we sang "If you're happy and you know it". The kids liked the song more than the book.

After that I had the five year olds. The five year olds were by far the most respectful and quiet class. We worked out of their school book and talked about the five senses. After the five year old class I had a 30 minute break.

Once I was finished with my break I had a class of six year olds. The lesson that was assigned was supposed to take up an hour, but we finished in like 35 minutes. We ended up talking for the rest of the class. The kids kept talking about the animal names they had learned in English. The funniest thing was they kept talking about a "camera" as an animal. It took me a while to figure out that they were trying to say chameleon.

Now I had another break, except this one was like two hours long. I went home and ate my spaghetti ramen noodles and drank some Pocari Sweat, which is like an Asian Gatorade. I was contemplating taking a nap, but I had to be back to meet a little boy that I was going to be tutoring in english in the afterschool program. The director of the school also decided she wants to have me teach her son. The schedule hasn't been decided yet, but I will be teaching them both probably starting later this week.

At the end of the day I have to keep a log of all of the classes. I only have to write like a sentence or two about each class, so it only took me like 5 minutes. Today, I have an afterschool class where I will be reading a story to some seven year olds. Other than that, I might go to the Hyundai department store or E-Mart tonight to pick up some stuff.
