Highlights For Kids: January 2012
For Christmas, Chad got me an iPod Touch. He’s a good boyfriend! (For the record I got him an iPod Touch too.) I love the camera and different apps that enhance photos. My favorites so far have been: Vintage Camera, Diptic, and Instagram. If you have any suggest on other apps, please let me know!
Here are some of the kids doing what we do best… playing…
31 Photos in 31 Days: Day 26
Day 26: Pajama Day at ECC. The kids and teachers wore pajamas and had this little event in the playroom. They decorated t-shirts and making patbingsu. They all looked really cute in their pajamas.

Day 19: I’m teaching a story/musical to the youngest classes at ECC. The story is called Scary Dino. In an attempt to teach a fun lesson, we took little dinosaur erasers and put them in play dough. Then we had little dinosaur eggs and played a counting/number game. However, some little dinos didn’t make it through the egg hatching process. This was the result.
Neckties and Power Rangers
So as many know I’m the arts and craft teacher for 9 of the 10 kinder classes at my school. In what most here call “baby class” we made neckties. Which means they colored some paper and I taped it together. Just so you know, baby class isn’t a mean name because they are babies. They’re Korean age five so that mean they are actually three or four years old. They are a handful because they are babies and they don’t speak any English… yet. Some can say little phrases but before long they’ll be savvy little English speakers. Last year’s baby class really impressed me last week because they were talking to me in full sentences. I was like, “Wait! When did you learn English?!?!” So the hagown system really work. It’s just hoping they can keep the knowledge they learned. However, we made a friend here that actually went to the same ECC that my friend Jamie teaches at and his English is great and he’s 20-something. So I guess there is something to be said about English school.
Anyway these kiddos enjoyed the neckties especially once little Daniel noticed they look like swords. Then we had a class full of models and Power Rangers. Awesome.
You like the pictures? I’m learning more and more with my new awesome camera too! 😉
Kinder Prom
At ECC the kids had a “kinder prom” We all went out all dressed up and had a party at this place called Kids’ Cafe. A giant play place and a “cafe” for kids. Mostly for birthday parties and big events. The kids had a blast and the teachers did too.
Not really a day…
So I’ve become very behind on this poor blog. It’s not the “photo a day” I’d hope it would be. So sorry for that. I’ve been pretty busy in Seoul. But to make up for it here is a cute photo of some of my students in chicken hats 🙂 Some made “monster hats” and as in some I mean all the boys. These are students Korean age 7.
