STEPHANIE TEACHER

Excuse the extreme lack of updates in the past couple of weeks. Honestly, I just got lazy. It won't happen again, or at least not as frequently. It's almost been a month since I've been here. I can't believe it. Time flies by so fast. Now that I've gotten the hang of this whole teaching shindig I guess I should talk about it. The school is SLP-Ansan. Sogang Language Program Ansan (the city I'm in.) One of the local Universities in Korea started this language program and now owns the SLP franchise. The teachers are divided by kindergarden & afternoon. I was originally supposed to teach the little ones but since I came later than planned I have a combination of beginners and middle schoolers and everything in between. Some classes are learning the basics of colors, shapes, numbers etc and others are a lot more advanced ( we just covered astronomy and space in one of them.) I do have one kindergarden class for their after school program. We do some sort of "science" project. It usually consists of making/putting together some kind of model. Last week was a wooden canon. Of course they didn't forget to provide the play dough to make small balls to shoot across the room and at Stephanie Teacher. I can't imagine a better project to give 3-5 yr. olds (they start kindergarden young here.) Overall they're great kids. They say the funniest things without realizing they are being funny. I'll see if I can get some pictures soonish of them.
