a fun monday

so the monday of chuseok vacation we had a little fun day for our morning classes. it was pretty cute. we did fun things like learning traditional korean games, making songpyeon (and eating it...), and we even got to play "korean pogs"
overall it was much more fun than bustin out the books and hittin'em hard before the vacation, and the teachers got gifts... yeeaaah!

john prepares himself for making songpyeon

they put beans and raisins in their glutenous rice balls (songpeyon)

(left to right) jane and annie were really excited to make these

we basically had a free day in which to play with the kids and hang out and eat yummy food stuffs that had been brought in. in l-room we made gopher crowns for the boys and bunnie crowns for the girls. everyone put their own unique twist on their crown parts. i especially liked this. i can't wait till we start doing fall decorations and things like that!

john and jin in their gopher crowns... jin wanted his to be both bunnie and gopher so he added bunnie ears to his gopher when he cut it out... LOVE IT! 

a little bit of korean pogs, i got my butt kicked by these pros. i was out in no time

all together it was a pretty nice way to spend a day especially since the older kids later in the day were really relaxed because everyone was just about to have a week off.  yes... my school gave us from tuesday till friday off. its great!!!!
