Well, it has been a month since we were in Hanoi. I am back into the boring routine. I had only one week of teaching and the sixth graders graduated. It is now spring break and because I was originally told that I would only have a week and a half of spring break, I decided to desk warm. Now turns out we have two full weeks. Oh well. I took on organizing and reading the books in the English room. I am actually learning things.
I am lucky, I don't have to try to get to know any more new teachers. Amy-Teacher is going to be teaching 3rd grade English, the art teacher is going to teach 6th grade English, Mrs. Kim is still going to teach 4th and 5th grade English, Minsu-Teacher is going to teach art, and one of the 3rd grade home room teachers is now teaching music. We are still waiting on hearing about home economics.
I am very sad to see the sixth grade students go. They are off to the big scary world of middle school. I saw one student today. She was crying, I asked her why. She sobbed, "I'm old! I am going to middle school!" I may have laughed. Poor thing.
Others are leaving us too. Three teachers are going to different schools (teachers change schools every four years). One of them was a 6th grade homeroom teacher and was very close to our little subject teacher group. She will be missed. The other two I don't know. Another teacher just got to school because she just got off of maternity leave. But she quit teaching for a while. So we won't see her.
On a happier note, finally found the Bau Haus Cafe. For the record Korean Maps suck and the "Eat Your Kimchi" people are terrible at making maps. Turns out we were near it every time we have gone searching for it. We really enjoyed the dogs and Matt had to talk me out of trying to sneak one home! Of course the ones I wanted to sneak are a little large for that.
