I am linking up with Teaching in the Tongass for a Christmas photo linky party! This is a picture only, no words linky party. If you want to know more (and I know you do), please follow my blog because I will be posting more pictures about Christmas very soon! Merry Christmas!
This past week I have been introducing Christmas to my students. We read, It Is Christmas, my Christmas emergent reader, and sang the book as we read it. My students tend to read better when it’s put to music or rhythm. I wonder if that’s true for all ESL students. After we read the book, we also matched the Christmas… Read More
Last week was final exams at my school. Final exams are a BIG deal. One of my high school students was even crying earlier in the week because she was so nervous. I didn’t have any classes Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday except for reading the final exam to two of my students. You might be wondering what my school lunch… Read More
I am linking up with Farley at Oh’ Boy Fourth Grade for her December Currently. This is my very first link, and I am super stoked! Most of these are pretty self-explanatory except maybe Winter Camp plans. In Korea, you have Winter Camp during the long winter break. In Korea, the school year is from March to December, and there… Read More
It has been a great couple of weeks lately. I introduced new ABC puzzles to my students, which they really enjoyed. They liked them so much that I made my own using my favorite clip art, the clip art I have used for all my ABC goodies. Here are the ABC puzzles I created for my students. Can’t wait to… Read More
mmm Thanksgiving was certainly different this year! About 20 English teachers went to a Brazilian buffet restaurant that was absolutely magnificent. They came to the table and brought rotisserie meat and shaved off pieces for us. It was THE best food I have had in Korea. Although it wasn’t turkey and dressing, it was a great Thanksgiving. How was your… Read More
Being a teacher, I recently created an ABC list for Korea on my blog about living in Korea. I’ve been living here now 3 months, and I still can’t believe it. Check it out at Elephant Hat. How is fall going for you? Can you believe it’s almost Thanksgiving? I’ve been teaching my students about fall and Thanksgiving words. I take… Read More
I started my Halloween unit yesterday. Halloween is not celebrated in Korea, and I wanted to show them what it is all about. I found some great songs on YouTube, including this one: We watched the first two stanzas of the song, and then we created some of our own. We had a lot of fun with this song. I… Read More
Well, it is officially fall in Korea! The leaves are changing and the weather is getting cooler. Bring out the winter gear, which by the way I never really need in Texas. I bought my first wool coat from a girl who had to move back home unexpectedly. I will also be purchasing my very first pair of winter boots… Read More
I sing a lot in my classes. It doesn’t matter if I am teaching English to blind students or 5th grade math in Texas. I sing and dance…making up songs and actions for the songs to help my students remember and understand what they are learning. My students this year need to use tactile as much as possible since they… Read More
![As teachers we know that vocabulary is pivotal in students’ success. When I was growing up, our vocabulary activities consisted of looking up definitions in the dictionary and copying them down on notebook paper. Do you think I truly understood those vocabulary words? Not. One. Bit. In order to truly understand vocabulary words and what […]](https://i.pinimg.com/236x/97/e8/f5/97e8f54812d68c0d8c084b04391b3255.jpg)
