Here is my afternoon class working on science posters, beautiful!

 We had a Christmas party on December 20th after school. Food and drinks.  I won second place in the Karaoke contest and won money!

Cute Angel Coffee, a crime scene, and Oozey the stray cat

Here are a few pictures from the November recital.  I am presenting the students with their certificate.

Here is Sunny 

Here is Daniel. He gets mad when I call him Dan or Danny.  I'm trying....

Ok here is a coffee I got from "Paris Baguette"  It is a big chain of bakeries here in Korea.  Look how cute this Angel coffee cup. Everything in Korea has to be cute it seems...

Here are two cats near my school.  The one had very Oozey eyes, but I do always see people putting out food for the cats and there are a number of animal hospitals in the neighborhood, so that is good.  Maybe "Oozey Eye" the Cat and "Little Red" the Cat can get some help. 

I do talk to the cats, but they don't know English or 'Pssst' language. 

Here is one of my students in my Friday evening class.  They decided to set up a crime scene.  I entered the classroom after break and the students told me, "Danny is dead."  One of the students kicked him and he didn't move.  Finally, Danny moved and we did our next class. This is the student who's realistic fiction story was about dragons from another dimension,  yeah.....

I went to a European Christmas Festival on Saturday November 30th.  It should have been called "Push and Line Fest"  People stood in line forever for food which made it hard to walk around the tiny festival.  Then Koreans would walk through the crowd with their child in front of them pushing their child into you.  I was read to give them an American Christmas instead of European one.  An American Christmas is a fist in your face or the face of your Korean child you have your hand on as you push them through the crowd. 

 There were stands with food from all over Europe and there was also Canada.  The European countries were Spain, Germany, England, Switzerland, Italy and so on.  Each stand had food where 20-50 people stood in line waiting. There was some good entertainment singing and playing instruments.  Also, there were German advent calendars with the chocolates inside.  

Making Kimchi and the joy of snow in a 5 year old's heart

Here is a Preschool flipout over snow,

Pure Joy!

Let's set up the tables to make Kimchi.

Do you remember the pictures from September when my students planted cabbages? 

They went back to the farm to pick the cabbages.  The cabbage was soaked in salt water for a few days 

before my students made Kimchi.

It's Kimchi Time!

 What is Kimchi?

Well it's primarily cabbage.

Also,  in our recipe there was oysters, anchovy juice, scallions, spices, ginger, chopped radish and garlic. 

There are a lot of variations of Kimchi but they all have red Chili in it. 

Here's a happy Kimchi Customer.
