One American's Journal from the Land of the Morning Calm. Friday, February 29, 2008. Party On: Last Day of School. Our last teachers' lunch of the school year:. Partying preschool/kindergarten-style. Bring on the ABC computer games! Note: I was the banker; I didn't buy up all the property from the kids.

My job at the preschool/kinder...

Snapshots from Korea: May 2007
http://emherbert.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
One American's Journal from the Land of the Morning Calm. Thursday, May 31, 2007. Because of my lack of understanding, I rely more on my observations than my own understanding of how things are supposed to work. As a result, I think I notice things that I would probably miss if I were back home where I don't need to be quite so observant and aware. Sunday, May 27, 2007. Catherine getting directions from not one but eight (very young! Catherine, the two moms who met us at the British Council office, and I...

Snapshots from Korea: September 2007
http://emherbert.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
One American's Journal from the Land of the Morning Calm. Saturday, September 29, 2007. I got up at 7:00 this morning and went downstairs for breakfast with Nina, and we met Grace down in the breakfast room. She had had a good time hiking the Great Wall yesterday and was planning to walk to the Temple of Heaven today. That's a really long walk from the hostel, so we suggested that she rent a bike or take a taxi today. On the topic of unusual signs, here are a few of my favorites from China. At the Great ...

Snapshots from Korea: Holy Coyote!
http://emherbert.blogspot.com/2008/02/holy-coyote.html
One American's Journal from the Land of the Morning Calm. Tuesday, February 26, 2008. I had a box waiting for me when I returned home last night. Mail! Puppet company, the same company that made the groundhog puppet Dad gave me two Christmases ago. Mr. Coyote was definitely a hit with my kindergartners. No, a coyote. No, a coyote. No, a coyote. Oh, that's so cool! Living here my whole life, I forget that there are animals they don't have everywhere. Fun! Sunday, March 02, 2008 3:23:00 AM. Fried Rice and ...

One American's Journal from the Land of the Morning Calm. Saturday, June 30, 2007. Mom, Dad, and I took a walk around a local park today. The weather is beautiful in the Chicago area these days. The Herrick Lake Forest Preserve has a lake, forest, marsh, and an area of restored Illinois prairie. An old oak tree. One of the 17-year cicadas, partying like it's 2007. Friday, June 29, 2007.

Snapshots from Korea: Saying Goodbye
http://emherbert.blogspot.com/2008/02/saying-goodbye.html
One American's Journal from the Land of the Morning Calm. Friday, February 22, 2008. I had tears in my eyes as I left my last class, and they were only made worse when the kids followed me into the hall to give me a hug. I wonder who they will be in their futures, these Korean children whose lives have crossed briefly with mine. I hope I've given them an adequate introduction to English. Here are some pictures from the last days of class. And the end-of-the-year preschool staff picture. Some Kind of Asian.

http://emherbert.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
One American's Journal from the Land of the Morning Calm. Friday, April 27, 2007. More field trip fun. Today was day two of field trips. What a way to end the week! Today we took kids to the local mountain park for some good outdoor fun. We took the preschoolers in the early afternoon and then the 3rd-5th graders in the late afternoon. The trip was mostly uneventful and a great opportunity to enjoy spring. Here are the preschoolers. I love these little ones. Happy birthday, Mom! I love you and miss you.

Snapshots from Korea: Preschool and Kindergarten Graduation
http://emherbert.blogspot.com/2008/02/preschool-and-kindergarten-graduation.html
One American's Journal from the Land of the Morning Calm. Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Preschool and Kindergarten Graduation. My job at the preschool/kindergarten is officially over. Today was the graduation ceremony. I was so sad to say good-bye to the kids I've gotten to know and love in the past year, but I'm happy to think about the preschoolers moving up to kindergarten and the kindergartners moving up to first grade. Here are a few photos:. I had no idea that was coming. View my complete profile.
