Last week: taught "head, shoulders, knees and toes," which the five year olds are now obsessed with. Played a hilariously labourious game of "put the alphabet in order" with the four year olds and expanded my Thai vocabulary to include "stand! please"
Yesterday: hee hee, I call role in the five year old class and there's a "Beem" who comes right after "Jim." I'm amazed by how much the teachers have to do here: they're not only teachers, they're nurses, lunch ladies, and janitors. Luckily, the kids have responsibilites too and are pretty good about them (i.e. putting away their chairs and cups after lunch, getting snack ready, etc.)
Today: I made the mistake of wearing a skirt today: too much temptation for five year old boys, several of whom try and try again to flip it right up. I'm learning kids' names, which is exciting, especially since it took me soooo long in Bangkok. I still miss the tiny class size there, though. 25 five year olds are sometimes more than I can handle, especially when they don't understand 90% of what I say.
My teachers took me out for dinner tonight, which was so so sweet of them. We can't realy understand each other, although I did learn the word for "frog" tonight, but we had fun anyway :)
