ABC it’s easy as 123

I have officially started teaching, which has been exciting and equally exhausting. I am teaching two and three-year-olds who are a handful, but thankful they are incredibly cute. Teaching has been an interesting experience so far, since my children are so young I work on getting them to know the basics, from their ABC’s and 123’s to “Please,” and “Thank You.” The first week was difficult because even though I work at an international school all my students are Thai and it took them up until the end of this week to warm up to me. I won over one of my little girls, Ket, with Pooh Bear, I found out she loved Eeyore so I made sure I had Pooh Bear books and stuffed animal versions of Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger in the classroom which instantly made her like me. This past week was also picture ay which was by far one of the funniest things I have experienced here in Thailand, unlike the U.S. where you go in, sit down, smile for the picture, and you’re done, it is a full on photo shoot, there are four different stations where there are props and different poses, this is both for the teachers and the students. Needless to say, the other teachers and I couldn’t stop laughing during the whole experience. I’m in the process of getting a little video together that will include some of my teaching experiences and Loy Krathong, which I will talk about in my next blog post. I hope everyone has had an amazing week, I know I have, because in my world now it is an amazing week when no one projectile vomits on you xx
