Wednesday Afternoon Classes and Spaland Night

I taught Miss Marie's kids yesterday, and it went really well. I prepared different activities for each age group, and the kids didn't want to stop playing their games even though we were out of time.

For the first-graders, we played Family Feud, simplified version.

For the third-graders, we practiced numbers with this shopping game. Guessing the exact price of the item was worth two points; getting one up or one down was worth one point.

Afterwards, we still had almost ten minutes left, so I tested their vision with this Speedwriter game, where vocabulary they already knew flew, rolled, zoomed, and bounced their way across the screen in scrambled letters, and they had to tell me what the word was.

My fifth-graders played the quiz game show I Know Stuff where they got a bonus point for spelling the answer correctly on top of getting the question.

I went to Spaland with Hoda at night, and we spent 4 hours talking while using the baths and the saunas. I decided to get a body scrub, and I think the lady scrubbed off some freckles that have been on me since birth. It costs 15,000 won for entrance fee, and 25,000 won for a 20 min scrub. I also had a vinegar pomegranate drink, which was around 5000 won. Spaland is pricey, but it was still much cheaper than getting the 90 minute full body massage like I did last time with my mom. That costed around 360,000 won and my wallet is still sobbing uncontrollable tears.

Tonight's plans include Korean class, shopping for Krispy Kreme donuts, and going to Deb's place to get a copy of Cat In The Hat with Korean subtitles.

Right now I'm waiting for my co-teacher to come back, so I can tell her that I have to go back to Vancouver for a wedding in late March. Ho-hum...
