Adventures in Teaching
After a bout of food poisoning early in the week that made me miss the van to Roi Et, I took a bus up on tuesday and spent the rest of the week teaching the 4th through sixth grade class english.
I learned a few things this week, one I am not cut out to be a fourth through sixth grade teacher. The kids we were teaching were increadble. They were all extreamly polite and respectful and seemed genuinely intested to learn all that we could teach them. I just realy am not good at laying out lession plans and then there is the whole teaching side of it. I did think that the last days lessions was actualy good, but the whole experaince was taxing. Even though it was taxing it was an extlreamly rewarding experaince. It was great to be able to live in a rural village environment and to help the kids with their english.
I am down to about a month and a half left until the end of my trip. It is realy strange to think that all of this will be coming to an end so soon.

You probably did a heck of a lot better job teaching those kids than I would have. You should be commended!
