Marching On

I looked at my calendar this morning which was displaying the month of February and wondered where the time had gone.  Winter winds have been replaced by spring sunshine here in Yeosu and the last few months have become something of a hazy blur.

Only a few months ago we were in Indonesia but since returning from holiday, we have got another job teaching young genius kids in an after school program.  What this means, is that at 4pm when we have finished teaching in our other schools, we jump into a car and head 30 minutes across town to teach three times a week.   The extra planning has taken a large chunk of my spare time as I am now teaching Kindergarten, First, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Grade as well as two different teacher's classes - am I busy?  YES.

I have also had some of the higher level students writing diaries and here is the outcome...

"He has big bulk"

"He did hurl words of thunder at us"

"I want to be anything a man should be"

"I'm adulting"

I think this might be in latin.

To the point.

And then there is this.

 I have also been doing a project with the 6th grade  - 'Where Are You From?
