Pool Day

I'm pretty sure everybody who reads this blog has been thinking "why is it taking so long to finally see some of the kids?" Well, for everyone who was thinking this, you're day has arrived. Wednesday this week was a pool day where we take all of the kindergarten kids, pack them into a few vans, and take them to a pool about 30km away on top of a hotel. It's really nice for the teachers because instead of having to yell "quiet" at loud kindergarten children every few minutes we just let them go at it.
Before they swim, they have to do a series of warm up exercises.
Now they line up around the pool and kick their legs.
This is Catherine coming down the water slide.
General mischief happening. Every kid has their own tube, which is nice.
After swimming we all sat down for lunch. These two boys from one of my classes are named Thomas and Gilbert.
This is Isabel. She is a sweet little girl but requires nonstop attention.
Joo and Joseph, who looks like he is up to something.
More of the boys from my class.
This girl is Euris, and I'm not really sure what is happening here. It is, however, hilarious.

  3. There's really children named Thomas and Gilbert in one of your classes? That's kind of funny. These children are incredibly adorable.

  4. Looks like a blast! Too bad everyday couldn't be pool day! The kids look like they are a hoot to be with!

    In regards to the chopsticks, I believe they are not quite at the age where their fine motor abilities allow them to use chopsticks correctly so they use these "trainers" which essentially force the correct placement of their fingers and "work-out" and strengthen the appropriate muscles necessary for using chopsticks (just like kids can't hold a crayon right until around kindergarten/first grade). -K.Davies
