Well, I have made it home from PFO. I am tired, but it was a good time. I learned so much! This week focused on more application for the classroom, focusing on things like classroom management, the first day of school, English Language Learners (ELLs), cultural differences in the classroom, biblical integration, and evangelism in the classroom. I have been thinking more and more about how I want to set up my classroom and what I want to change or modify. It makes me want to be in Korea and be in my classroom even more.
I want to thank everybody for their prayers as I was at PFO. They were a huge part of what made it a successful time.
I leave for South Korea on July 29th, just three short weeks away. I feel like I have a lot to do between now and then--some things to purchase, tons of packing (and probably some re-packing), and good-byes. I definitely want to make sure that I spend time with family and friends before I leave.
And now for the part you've all been waiting for...the almost talent show! Now while there are many things I wouldn't do, like turning in a paper late, not all of those are things that you would do for a talent show. You may have guessed at least part of what this is, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer. (Insert drumroll). I (with the other teachers from Pyongtaek) was part of a k-pop dance routine. K-pop is Korean pop music, and it is extremely popular with Korean teenagers. K-pop is famous for having a dance routine that goes along with every song. So what we did is take the choruses from 4 different songs and learn the corresponding dances, which we then performed at the talent show. Now I know that many of you are saying, "Where's the video? I want to see this!" Well, if you would like to see it, it was recorded and put on facebook. It is posted on my wall for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy. It was a lot of fun! (Though that doesn't necessarily mean that I will ever do anything like that again.)
