Random Happenings

Today is children's day, which means a day off for all teachers. This last week our kids went to a festival for all the preschools in our town. Here are some pictures from the day. There were clowns, tanks, fire trucks, and mandatory tricycle races for the kids. I say mandatory because when watching the races it was evident that the parents were way more into it than the three year olds. Which made me think the parents should race instead. And lo and behold there were parents footraces for the mothers and the fathers as well as a teachers footrace. Now these races were very competitive, I saw at least 3 moms fall flat on their faces while running.

I bowed out of the teachers race because I was the only dude preschool teacher there . It was really a no win for me to race anyway. If I won it was because I was supposed to and if I lost.............................( I wouldn't have) it would have been embarrassing. Here are the pictures.




A few weeks before, we joined the two Korean preschool that operate on the bottom floor of our building on a field trip to a children's museum. Although I didn't take many pictures, I did manage to capture something uniquely Korean. Karaoke on the bus. Complete with scream singing and children's songs. It was an experience that was once in a lifetime (hopefully.) Here are some of the pictures.



These next pictures are from Seoul. On a day off I went into the city with some fellow teachers. We ended up at the movie theater. The theater was on the 11th floor of a place called Techno Mart (which is kind of like best buy on steroids.) There was a pretty awesome view from the roof.



Here is a quick video from one of the little boys I work with in the preschool. Every time we start playing music he does this dance. As you can see the dance is becoming contagious among the kids. It's kind of bizarre looking but it makes me laugh. This little guy is pretty hilarious but he is also probably the most challenging of the kids to work with. He keeps me on my toes. I'm sorry the video is sideways.




Finally here's kind of a picture of me and one of the kids. I don't actually have many pictures of myself, which I'm sure you are all disappointed by, so here's some of my face. This is me and one of the preschoolers, Chloe, after spending most of the day at the children's festival. In all fairness it's not a very good picture of Chloe, so I put another picture of her where she looks more like herself.



I'm well thanks for your continued prayers.
