School is still open through this corona virus thing. I never really had a taste for Corona. Anyway, the new school year begins in March in Korea but I'm still teaching the textbook. It's kind of wierd. We get a month off after Christmas but have to come in for two weeks in February to finish the grade reports and have a graduation ceremony.
It has been so warm this winter. I'm glad for the sub zero weather today. It just feels better to wear a mask when it's below zero.
For fifth grade we read part of the Secret Garden and did a role play with Mary, Colin and Dickon (the kids call him Chicken).
The textbook gave the kids the key expression: "I like spring because I can see beautiful flowers." And, "I don't like summer because I can't go outside and play."
For the last five minutes of class we make our own like and don't like card. I got a lot of "I don't like winter because of the corona virus" and, "I don't like summer because of mosquitoes."
I wish there was a chapter in our textbook on Thanksgiving. Maybe I could learn something.
