Third week already...craziness

So I guess I'm already into (and almost half done) my third week. This is already flying by, I can't believe it. I mean I knew it was going to go fast but shite. Anyways, week is going well so far. Grade 2's are by far the biggest pain in my ass. It's nothing but yelling and no matter how much you try to bring them down, when you get 30 Korean kids against one English teacher who really isn't all that much older, it doesn't work. But it all works out in the end, the lessons have been going well and I've been getting nothing but compliments from each of my co-teachers so it's definitely making this transition easier than I was expecting.

On Monday and Tuesday I've got an after school lesson from 3:30-5 with Grade 3s. Thought I'd share the result with all of you. I played the "Last Letter Game" except I made the game using sentences. So each kid had to write a sentence, and the next kid had to write the next sentence using the last letter of the previous sentence, and they had to work together to make a story. Here's what they came up with (I wrote the first line):

       The ship sets sail. Little American red nose monkey was there. Egg was eaten by American red nose                           monkey. "Yes, it was delicious." Sailors like little American red nose monkey. "Your nose is so bright." The monkey said, "Thanks." Suddenly the ship was broken by iceberg. "Great!" the sailors said. "Don't worry, be happy." "You can have some egg, doctor." "Really? Oh, I love it and my friend, blue nose monkey, likes it too. "Oh, where is he?" "Eagle's nest." The American red nose monkey traveled to Eagle's nest to see blue nose monkey. "Yeah, I know him. Once we loved each other."

Not entirely sure why, but I almost died laughing when they were writing this. These kids are hilarious. Plus, they actually wanted to try Apples to Apples. Couldn't say no, plus...it has some new words they can learn....so it's totally valid.

Well that's about it, been a boring night, plus the cold is starting to set in (by the way when I say the cold, I mean it's time to put on a spring jacket) so I guess Winter is on the way. Ah well. Good thing they set me up with a massive television and were able to hook my comp into it (I was going to buy the cable, but they just gave it to me) plus a new comp to use which is good because I'm basically just waiting for this one to crap out.

Hope everything is going well in good old Canada. I bring up pictures from back home almost every class. The kids love it, plus helps with the homesickness a bit to use things from back there. Missing you all over here, it's been a blast, but it's not the same.
