Day 1 of teaching! I basically sang the alphabet song and "head, shoulders, knees, and toes" all day long, with some Simon Says thrown in there. We counted to ten and learned how to say "my name is..." Sadly, the English teacher needed the lesson as much as the students. Everyone was so warm and welcoming though; I see myself getting very attached to all the little smiling faces.
In other news... I taught at the children's home as well at night. A student requested that we learn about "ing" verbs, something that doesn't exist in Thai (they don't really have any tenses or verb conjugation, it's fabulous). And it turns out I have no logical explaination for when to use them. So that was fun. I think I'll stick to simon says from now on..
