Ok, so we've been trying to upload pictures for the last two weeks (hence the lack of new posts) but it isn't working!!! Grrr!!! SOOOO I'm gonna write a few stories.
1. After teaching at the public school one day we noticed a group of 70+ year old women standing in a circle doing Sponge Bob "Around Town" hip rotations. Then they moved down to their knees and shook them out. After observing for a few days, Michaela and I decided to join them. Together with the old Chinese ladies, we knocked our wrists together and jogged in place. When Tim came to tell us it was time to go back to school I asked him why they do the exercises. He said it was to exercise their brains . . . It must work because the oldest woman there looked to be about 95... ?
2. This week we had to teach the public school kids at the beach. Tyler, our ADHD child, was fascinated with everything around him. Everything that is, but the lesson. I was his designated attention buddy, and I helped keep him on the blanket with the other kids and teacher. At one point during the lesson he spotted something on the beach. With out warning he took off running! I chased after him until he spotted and picked up a chunk of sea weed out of the ocean. I was able to coax him back to the blanket, but he brought his seaweed with him. Then he smelled and licked the seaweed. After growing tired of it, he handed it to me.
3. Again on the beach, Teacher Michaela was drawing sea animals on paper. She drew a walrus, and asked her kids if walruses eat people. 4 out of the 5 kids said "no." The 5th kid, Sky, said "Yes! Hao chur!"- "Yes! Very delicious!"
