Teaching!


Well, I have been teaching now for about three weeks. I love my students! I am teaching year one reading and year 4 English for Science.

I go out to lunch with my year four students four at a time on Fridays for lunch. It has been a great time to bond with my students. Some of my students took me shopping this past Friday to look for a Lao traditional skirt! It was great to spend a little extra time with them. They are a very friendly class. I cant wait to get to know them further!

My year one students are a whole other story. It is so funny the difference between the two. These students have not previously had any foreign teachers, and I dont think they are quite sure what to think! In class, I am sure they are wondering what I am saying, or doing for that matter! They just stare at me without reaction. I cant wait to see what they will become once they get to know me and arent so afraid.

I like teaching university, but I do miss my third graders! China is so different, but both are good! Cant wait to get to know my students, colleagues, and friends I have made in the city better!
