Field trip



These past two weeks, I have been so busy. I want to write about everything I have done, but it actually takes a lot of time to write these blogs and add pictures. My mom told me she wants to hear more about my students. So I will tell you about our field trip. Our school went to the HeoJun memorial museum and I can tell you was not excited. My boss told me it was a museum about a doctor. I don't have a degree in child studies, but I was pretty sure my six year old kids would be bored out of their minds. I was dreading this field trip. My school loaded us up on 8 mini vans to travel about twenty minutes to this "museum". I only had one of my students (harry) with me, so I was giving him a lot of my attention. When we arrived outside of the museum, I was running around trying to get my class together. We formed 8 lines (there are 8 classes) outside and we got a wiff of a horrible smell. I went ahead and took of my kids plugging their noses, because it was so cute. But they were complaining a lot about the smell. Once we entered the museum, I was immediately surprised by how nice it was. There was a lot of information about this doctor and even more suprisingly, they had everything in English and Korea, so I was able to explain things to my kids. (My students are almost fluent, so they were able to understand everything I told them). It was funny to hear me talk to my kids about acupucture and medicince and then to hear Jennifer say "whats this?" and have her kids "A book." Jennifers kids are first year students so they know only very basic English. So the museum was a waste for them. But my students got so information out of it, and its a museum that I would definately reccomend.
My super cute kindies. I love them even if they are little terrors sometimes.
