Three weeks in, and I'm still alive!

I apologize for my tardiness in posting, but it's been a tough couple of weeks.

Teaching kindergarten is hard.

Apparently, this English teaching job is different from the 'norm'. I actually have to be a real kindergarten teacher, teaching things like art, computers, science, math, and social studies. Oh, and by the way, they're 3. Some aren't even. A couple are 4. So, yeah. Basically it's an unwinnable situation. Mostly I have to cater to the rich parents, as long as they seem happy with the pictures that the school puts online of the kids, then I'm in the black.

You can see pictures of me teaching my kids on at this site: http://www.babyhome.com.tw/jsrenai
"js" stands for JumpStart and "Renai" is the district branch.

Click on the icon of the camera, and then click on the link for the "purple - 2009". My class is the "purple" class. There are also some pictures of me scattered around in there with the pink class and such planting seeds and silly things like that.

The company's homepage, if you're interested, is http://www.jumpstart.com.tw

So yeah, my kids are cute as buttons. ;o)

I'll write more later, but mostly I wanted ya'll to see the pictures on that website of me and my kids at the school.

Enjoy!
