Monday
I taught with Taylor again at the elementary school for our
4th 5th and 6th graders. We love our kids.
They are so much fun. I also want to get a video of them sometime. When we
start our teaching with each class, they welcome us first. All of the kids in
the class stand up and say (or yell) “Good morning teacher. Thank you teacher”.
It’s really cute.
Tomorrow they also are having their “sports day”. It’s a big
deal and everyone one finished class early and stayed late to practice their
sports and for the marching band to rehearse and to set up for the events. We stayed to help with some projects that
they teacher needed done and then Taylor helped me to set up some pictures and
English words that we all prepared last week for putting in the first graders’
classrooms.
Tuesday
A few of us when to a school in the middle of nowhere and
helped with a class teaching excel to students. Again, it was kind of
interesting trying to help without knowing how to speak Thai, but I think we
were able to figure out how to demonstrate and help. There was a teacher that
was teaching the lesson and then we were there to make sure they understood
what they needed to do. We would just follow closely and hope that we were
re-teaching the students the correct things. It was actually pretty fun. This
age group of kids gets one day a year when they are taught the excel program,
so there was a lot of information included in a few hours of this class. I was
really impressed by how much they were learning.
Wednesday
Today we put on an assembly and some activities to teach the
kids at a school about washing hands and brushing teeth. A few people in our
group were coordinating it. It was really clever and came together really well.
Lots of fun.
