Today marked our first day of teaching English! Like I said earlier, we only teach one class a day for three weeks during the kids' winter vacation. Regular classes begin on March 2nd when we teach 4-6 classes a day. Rumor has it, I will be teaching kindergartners! Yay and eek at the same time. Sure wish I knew how to speak Korean.
Anyway, our first day of teaching flew by! I ended up having too many activities planned, always a good thing, in my opinion! I had beginner students and they were all so enthusiastic, it was so much fun! Many of the kids would try to speak to me in Korean and I felt so bad that I couldn't answer their questions. However, I introduced myself to them by showing pictures of my family, friends, and activities I like (mainly, traveling).
At the end of the day, the students told our co-teacher all about me! How I had four brothers, two sisters, and five dogs. It was the most adorable thing I've ever seen. Judging my first day, it is shaping up to be a fun-filled three weeks!
Unfortunately, Jacob doesn't want to blog about his day today. All I got out of him was, "it was good".
