kids

well today i started teaching at the kindergarten, 30 minutes with the 5-6 yr. olds and 30 mins with the 6-7 yr olds.  kids are cute all over the world and these kiddos were no exception!  and the names!  im bad with names anyway but i have to say it's gonna take me forever!  and i butchered them so bad when they introduced themselves!  then about an hour after i left the kindergarten i saw one of the kids in a class i had.  funny, i've probably seen him lots of times but didn't know him.  i'm really impressed by the kindergarten here!  since i've worked with kids all my working life i'm kinda attuned to kids activities.  they nap just like we do although not on cots, they get mini beds!  they have snack, and were waiting for me to finish so i wanted to hurry-milk with rice or basically rice pudding.  they have a dramatic play area where the kids can play, they have a pretty cool car "model" in there where the kids can sit and drive.  they have scissors, crayons/markers, and stuff like that.  they have decorated the rooms with murals on the walls and have fairy tale and other characters up.  just from what i've observed the teachers do a good job!  i'm going to have to do lots more planning for them!  it's about time for dinner so i will quit.  do utre! (until tomorrow)
