And Month 4 Begins..

So, I am 25% through my tour of duty here in Korea. Just like any other time in life, some days are longer than others. Some days, it feels like 6 months, and other days I can't even believe that I got off the plane!!
I was mistaken about the group we have this week, it is co-ed 5th graders. After having the 7th grade girls for the past 2 weeks, I had forgotten how little these 10 year olds are! We are back up to a decent level of English knowledge, but back down to a low level of discipline. I guess we just can't have it both ways. I have been teaching Bank/Post Office and Science. In the Bank, we work on Deposits and Withdrawals. In the Post Office, we make a postcard home. And in Science, I have been teaching The Water Cycle. It's a simple concept, but the words: evaporation, condensation and precipitation are pretty big in another language. But, they seem to be enjoying it.
I am really excited for this weekend. Friday (June 6th) is Memorial Day here, so we are heading to the beach. Jennifer, Gail and myself. We are going to the east coast of the country to a town called Sokcho. I don't really have much of an idea of what to expect, but sun and sand make me happy. Hopefully, our hotel is truthful in its Internet advertising. We are leaving on Friday morning and returning Sunday afternoon. So- I should have some pictures for the next post.
Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend and are gearing up for a fun summer. Take care and send me some mail!
