I recently got my lovely, perfect, amazing coteacher to (re)show me how to look at pictures on our school's website. I was shown how to do this in like March but since I never tried to log in at home and everything on the page is in Korean, I could never find the pictures that I knew were being taken all day everyday.
So I went through all of the pictures last week and found some super cute ones that I thought I would re-post :)
These pictures are from my first field trip to the
Traffic Safety school back in March.

Kids in Korea are taught to raise one hand while crossing the street because since they are so short, cars can't see them if they are right up in front of their hood. If they raise their hand, the cars can see them (precioussssss).

Another super fun thing about Kindy is that I
pose for pictures pretending to teach a
Cooking class once a month. The kids wear adorable aprons and chef hats and I instruct them on how to make simple things. What we make in Cooking class is always a pleasant surprise and I am not told ahead of time what it is. This caused some issues when we made
Gimbap and I had no idea how to fold the seaweed.

| This was egg salad day. Kids hate egg salad. I heard this dish was a flop in most classes haha. |
Another favorite: Birthday parties!
Market Day was a day that students brought in old books, clothes, new candy, new toys, stickers, etc and my school printed fake US money and gave everyone $10. They would go to each classroom, each with a different theme, and buy things to bring home. It was a super cute idea. Very fun for them. The funniest thing for me was after stressing to my kids to save their money because they had 4 shops to go to, some of them came to our class after they were finished and sneakily said "Teacher.... look... many moneys..." and Claire and I would have to take them to shops and explain to them their money is no good outside of school. They were so cute trying to be cheap and save all their money for later.

Song Contests happen once every other month. The kids learn a new song and then perform in front of the other classes. The cool thing about song contests is that we can teach them ANY song. One of my coworkers taught his kids a Bob Marley song haha. My class did
this song in June.

Super cute picture from
Children's Day when I got to show off my face painting skillzzzzz.
ZOO FEILD TRIP! (Except Koreans can't pronounce "Z" so it was a field trip to the "Joo"..... awkward.) Super cute day. Super hot day. Ugh I remember how hot I was this day...

Field trip to the
Memorial museum where we saw an exhibit about the human body. Lots of kids were terrified on this field trip because it was very dark inside the exhibit and there was a sound of a heart pumping and skeletons everywhere. Poor nuggets. The motto of that field trip was "Not scary! Very fun!"
And last but definitely not least, one of my favorites was
Water day!
