Today in the life of Sherry Teacher

Today in the life of Sherry Teacher!

Today was June birthday month!!! :)
It was seriously the cutest thing ever. All the kinder kids went into the play room and the teachers who had students with birthday's in June got to walk them to the stage while a room full of 80+ kindergarten kids sang happy birthday in Korean. They had party hats on and everything!
I got to walk up three students. One of the little ones names was Brian. He is one of the cutest kids I have ever seen! He has the cutest smile ever! (It is probably the biggest smile I have ever seen on a child!)
One all the kids were on the stage we sang in English with the piano and the kids blew out their candles! We had soooo many cakes, and then also every kid in the school got a little chocolate cracker box gift to take home and we had yogurt drink, fruit and this rice cake treat. This treat was sooooo good. The rice is kinda fused together with this sweet chocolate type filling. On the outside it looks a little like an uncooked perogie! (made me think of you Miss Ashley Gilbert! Perogie and chocolate... hahah)
Once the candles were blown out each class went to the front to perform the talent portion. My main group of kinders sang a song about family since we are learning about parts of the family. The sister part was the cutest part.. they sang.. this is my sister and flipped their hair like a vally girl! haha!! Allie the little drama queen did the best!
My favourite talent group was the class who had nothing prepared. Two kids just got up and started to dance without any music. One little boy who was a little heavier got up in front of all the kids and just shook his bottom! hahah I laughed until tears were almost down my face! The other little girl who was dancing did a belly dance! It was so cute! I wish I had a camera to make a video!!

Now some more things to remember to tell you:
It is common to see women with only their big toe nail painted... the other 4 toes are just normal.

When a store opens they have a stage set up with girls in skimpy cheerleading costumes singing and dancing to get people to go into the store.

My hair is a big hit here. Not many people here have curly hair. All the kids think it is a perm. Some like it.. some hate it and tell me! hahah My kindergarten kids called me not pretty teacher when the first half said pretty teacher! Today I went to school with straight hair and my bangs tied back. Rachel and Emily age 5 did not like it at all! hahah Oh kids!

I went with my friend Steph to get blankets for my bed. I got a thin blanket to act as my comfortor and a matress pad. The blanket was $43 and the matress pad was $20. And this blanket is pretty pathetic! hahah

Oh, Rebeccah. If you come visit.. converse shoes are REALLY cheap! I have seen them for $30.. and there is no tax here!! :)

ohhh I gave my first test today! The kids were so nervous. It was an oral test and I had to call them outside one by one to answer questions.. they have a lot to work on... but some really surprised me!

Anywho... I feel like I am forgetting a lot.. but I must get home to get ready for tomorrow and start my montly report cards!!!

P.S: Happy Belated Birthday Zane! And HAPPPYYYY BIIRTTHHDAAAYY Ashley Gilbert!

and Tania... I love you!
