Mexican Food Originally uploaded by Wonmyeong School . Birthday Party at Young-hee's. The food was amazing. Lots of Fajitas and Rice and Beans and fixings. I've been awful on my body the last couple of days. Monday I must go to the gym for a couple of hours. I made rice and beans and they turned out very nice. I got these wonderful sausages at Kim's Club. They were a little spicy, and the texture was firm and smooth. When I have a barbie, I'm going to get them again.

Role Play. The country mouse and the city mouse. Play it first without sound and then play it with sound making fun of it and then get kids to act it out. I'm going to have to get some props. The ball would make a good orange and how about a pencil. The kids try to eat the pencil. I think I should start with 2 country mice and 2 city mice and then I'll up it to 3 and then 4. 3. Color page 26. 4. Page 27 What's this? Fill in the spaces with words. Practice I'm sorry. 5. Game. What is missing game on the black board.

Do you think there might be a reason why Originally uploaded by Wonmyeong School . Do you think that there is a reason why this dish is in the dollar rack? I mean it's a really nice purple glazed dish perfect for a nice cream based soup. Do people have something against grapes?

  I just got my new Apple keyboard today and I must say- it types like butter. It looks like a million bucks and it types SO NICE. I'm just going to type that again just so I can express the joy that my fingers feel on this new keyboard- It looks like a million bucks and it types SO NICE. Yes, I could be more coloquial, but I'm utterly devoid of creative ability at the moment. My brain feels like it has been pummled by a couple of midgets and I really don't care because my keyboard types SO NICE. I just love hitting this spacebar . It's like tapping an ice cold keg. Also, the keyboard is heavy so it doesn't feel like I'm typing on a cheap piece of plastic. Did I mention how nice it types? Well if I didn't, it types SO NICE. Cheerio, Dan 

cc1 Originally uploaded by Valence . I only have 1 fifth grade class so I'm going to make it a bye. I'm going to do... 1. I am going to do a story from www.magickeys.com I did these last year and they were a life saver. I think the fifth graders will enjoy it. I'm going to this story. Sniffy and Fluffy go on an Adventure because it is fun. http://www.magickeys.com/books/sniffy/index.html 2. Game. Board Game. I'll play it on the board with the dice. I'm thinking they have to do a certain action for every number the land on.

      My friend Terry sent me some pictures of me last year. We went to a soccer game in Daegu to watch Korea play Japan or China. It was a great game and a whole lot of fun. Dan 

        I am the Garden of Earthly Delights ipod nano screen. I just wanted to show you some of the other designs they had. Check out this site!  

        These are super cool ipod gel skins that I want to order. I really want to get one, but I just don't know which one to get. Which one would you recommend? 

  I have no idea why, so I decided that I'm going to post one of his pictures as a testament to his ideas and stuff. Today Muhammad and I... 

More of my CLEAN undies Originally uploaded by Wonmyeong School . My personal ad. I am looking for a business minded woman that does not mind washing my undies and minding my children and minding staying home watching god awful Korean dramas by day and a tired overworked man by night. Must be 36-24-36.

LG to GS to LIG Originally uploaded by Wonmyeong School . CORRECTION NOT LIFE IS GOOD. LIFE IS GREAT! dan

LG changes its name to LIG Originally uploaded by Wonmyeong School . They went from LG, "Lucky Goldstar," to Goldstar back to LG, "Life's Good," to GS (which I don't know what it translates to- it's some Korean name. I think the company split off.) and now to LIG, Life is Good. Strange. Strange. Strange. They are spending millions to add "Is" to their name. It's admirable that they corrected their grammar, but honestly. Sigh. It's just another day in the "Land of the Not Quite Right." Dan

Calton Hill, Edinburgh Originally uploaded by dhansak79 . First of all I don't know where the place is so I need to get the directions and the apartment number from Hyung Joo's Mother. The child is in 4th grade so I should be able to do some interesting things with him. I need to test him first, so I'm going to see what his speaking level and phonics level is. After that I'm thinking some kind of story lesson- just so I can gauge his reading comphrension skills. I think I'll try Mad libs with him and take the free talking board game too. Dan

Dark blue Originally uploaded by dotlyc . I thought you should see this. Today is simply going to be hectic. I'm starting a new lesson at 6:30 that I don't know where the place is because I didn't write the directions- nor the phone number in my moleskin. I have to teach 6th period today because the teacher has to leave during 3rd period. On a brighter note, 1st period class was canceled because they were showing a movie about how we should be nice to the handicapped. (It's Handicap Awareness Day in Korea.) I made Tuna Kimbap for people in the office. They said that they really liked it. Gotta Go. Dan

Space Needle Sunset HDR Originally uploaded by lopolis . Space Needle Sunset HDR. Wow. To those that say that photography is not art: Look at this. This week I'm going to do adjectives and opposites. I should do the Mr. Zombie, Ms. Hulk game thing again. Let me explain. I get 4 kids to volunteer and I put fake names above their heads. Then the kids have to choose who is the tallest, who is the shortest, who is the strongest, etc. It works because it is funny to say that Ms. Hulk is the prettiest or that Mr. Zombie is the silliest. I need to build an opposites picture slideshow. I'll build it in my Mac Homepage. 1. Review, "She's tall." Pick 4 students and give them fake names and then ask: Who is the tallest?; Who is the funniest?; Who is the handsomest?; Who is the kindest?; 2. Book. Page 58 Look and Speak. And Page 60 Let's Read and exercise 2. 3. Slideshow. Opposites. 4. Exercise. Frankenstein drawings. Each group will get a piece o

Go! Originally uploaded by Chantal Hubert . Great picture Chantal Hubert! Don't you wish we could all be so carefree. Tonight I'm teaching an adult CPA. Apparently he is very intelligent, but he needs to work on his pronounciation. Teaching adults phonics is difficult, but if Holly Golightly can do it than so can ㅏㅁ람아ㅓㅁ (It's not his real name.) I'm going to do a couple of tests. I need to take my laptop and play the ESL podcast to see what his listening comprehension level is. I'm going to then get him to read an article. I'm thinking something financial. For homework he has to listen to another podcast, transcribe it- just the first part and read a newspaper article and then call me later that week and discuss it with me for 5 minutes. Dan

  Apparently I do have to teach my 6th Grade classes tomorrow. Their picnic got canceled until next week :( Write on the board and get them to copy it down. Welcome to the game show "Family Feud." A Feud is a fight so two teams to play against each other. Each team will have 8 players each. One person from each team will come up to the game stage and will have to answer a question. The first question is, I asked 100 Korean students what their favorite is. The first person to answer the question will win points for their team. If you guess all the answers you get an extra 50 points. Good luck!
