Dong Chun Dang Park is right outside my classroom window; it's a huge park with "traditional style Korean homes", 3 ponds, paths, play areas, etc.. I take the pups there every day and enjoy the great weather we've been having lately. This past friday was Dong Chun Dang's 400th birthday so there were vendors everywhere selling cotton candy, squid, corn on the cob, ya know, the usual. A grand stage was set up for performances including drummers & singers. Our school decided to let the little ones go to the park, seeing we did our monthly "Themeroom" book on playground activities. God-forbid the kids get fresh air and play without it being for the sole purpose of education! Well they enjoyed themselves. Each teacher was set up at a station & had to help the kids do something. I had to teach them how to jumprope. As you can see, Nick catches on quickly.

I was on the BLUE team. The red team thinks they won the relay race, and to keep the peace, we let them think that. (heart stickers indicated the color you were). Here, Betty is wearing the popular over-sized plastic visor and being cheered on by her partner in crime, Jennifer. The pro-jumproper to your left is none other than the infamous Max.

The little angels , just waiting around like sitting ducks. Poor lads, didn't know what hit them! As you can see, Linda is still incredibly adorable, but there's a fresh crop of munchkins at Little America. The new "Berkeley Class" has 5 students. SO cute, nice, smart.... and just the right size to sneak in my luggage when I go home to the states!

Tomorrow we're taking the kids to the zoo, Thursday a musical, and friday we have OFF because it's CHILDREN's Day!!! woo hoo! I'm gonna climb in the cage with the monkeys!
