need sleep

Wednesday July 17th
Pretty standard day except for no crying! Nothing exciting happened in any of my Kindy classes. France did their work really quick. Australia worked quickly too. In Denmark, we actually got as much done as we were supposed to!
Firstgraders acted okay, and we got work done. They are really hit or miss.
My one on one with Chloe went pretty well. I am trying to get her to speak better. A lot of the Koreans will say things like This-uh, and-uh, because-uh and the likes. Part of it has to do with how the Korean language is. There is the restaurant Moms Touch, which I have spoken about before. Well in Korean is pronounced Moms Touch-ee. There are rules about how some things have to end in a vowel sound instead of a consonant sound. I am not exactly sure how the rule works... But the problem with the extra vowel ending can be seen from the Kindy up to the middle schoolers and adults. So I make her repeat the word as it is supposed to be said, and I am starting to count how many times she does it.
My 10 year olds acted much better and didnt speak much Korean at all!
After work, we at at the HoChicken by out apartments for Chicken and Beer. We spent a little time outside just talking.
In all, not an exciting day.

Thursday July 18th
The luck I had with no crying ended... Sharon cried. During play time, the girls in france were taking turns sitting on my knees as I read. Sharon, instead of being in line to do that asked for paper. When I told everyone to pick up, she started crying because she did not get to sit on my knee. So there was the typical "Sharon sad" and I said yes. With her crying there, I basically told her that she chose to draw instead of read. I then asked the 4 four girls that did, one by one, if they had asked for paper to draw. Each of them said no. She then just kept sniffling and weeping. Then Julie cried because she was leaning forward in her chair. We have new rules that if you lean in your chairs, take off shoes, get up, speak korean, you lose stars. It passed pretty quickly though.
The rest of my Kindy classes went well.
My first-graders had a test today. They acted surprisingly well.
For Korea... I brought some candy and some slime for them to play with as we were going over vocabulary. Vocab is tough, I brought up my concerns, and was basically told too bad. Erica loved the slime. She was playing with it the whole time, just laughing and smiling. Everyone played with it except Dylan. He was grossed by it, he even moved so he would not be sitting near it. At one point Erica tossed it to Dylan, and he did what most people do when something is flying toward them. He caught it and screamed like a little girl and threw it down on the table... then he realized it wasnt bad, so he played with it for a few minutes. It was funny to see how happy it made Erica. She was showing Angel different things that you can do with it. She didnt care what anyone thought... she just loved it. She had a smile on almost the entire class. She even answered questions 5x faster than she normally does.
I stayed late today and finished my report cards. Took far longer than I was expecting it to.
I went to pizza school for pizza. Came home, watched west wing... I am going to bed early. I am sooooo tired and I am not sure why...
