Another one!

That last post was a little dated. But I had to share that story. What's new today... Well I am offically teaching English classes. 3 a week for now, soon it will be bumped up to 4 then finally 5. Today was my 2nd lesson with 7b (a section of 7th grade) and 10A. We worked on phrases that describe good friends. It's a tough topic to plan for. In the few classes I've taught so far I have found one educational activity that the kids really love. Hot potato! We all know how to play hot potato so I won't bore you, but the kids have to say one of their English phrases or risk getting burned! Very fun. (Feel free to use it if you are ever in front of a class).

What else, what else... Oh yeah, on Saturday we took our first field trip out of Nosivka. We went to the Oblast (State) Capital, Chernigiv. It was the first time we got to see other peace corps volunteers outside of our clusters. And we had a relaxed day of town exploration.

For this week I have a 3rd grade class to plan a lesson for (they're working on days of the week). I got to observe the 3rd graders on friday (observation means sitting in their class, in their seats. I stuck out pretty well.) But they seem like a fun group. Can't wait! On wednesday we have our interviews to assess how our language traning is going, as well as a visit from the trainee director to interview us on where we would like to be placed. So this week is a big one!

Ok, 2 minutes left on my internet time, gotta go!
