Ari and I taught a great lesson on how to talk about "your family". We had the students discuss with a partner, and then draw out their families. This, of course, required Ari and I to show off our artistic abilities as well... let's just say they fell a little flat compared to some of the students. They were unbelievably talented. The students really seemed to enjoy the lesson, as some of them were able to show their artistic/creative sides. However, there were a few students that were quite content with their stick drawings and were done in less than five minutes.
The questions the students worked on in partners.
A fabulously drawn dog.
Some of these kids are SO TALENTED.
These drawings look like the characters from Pokemon...
One of our classes- each has around 45 students.
The picture of his brother made me laugh out loud.
Ari and I also walked around showing pictures of our own families on Ari's computer. The students had wonderful reactions... "boootiful.", "handsome!!!", and tons of giggling. We aren't quite sure what was so funny, but Luke and Isaac (Ari's brother) may have a few young Thai girls searching for them on Facebook... they seemed to be impressed!
After class, I went home with Ari, as tomorrow is Teacher's Day! This means... bum bum bum- no classes again! How great, right? America, get the hint- teacher's day is a necessity I believe... We are going to the Red Lotus Sea with Sirilak's family and then a historical museum thing, as well as a sheep farm. Shortly after getting home, we all jumped into the truck with Sirilak's husband's brother. He is in town visiting- he's also a senior in college, so we have something to talk about at least! His name is Foe? Not sure if that is the correct spelling, but that's how it would be spelled phonetically.
After walking around the lake, Ari and I grabbed some fruit smoothies and waited for the others. It was quite cool in Thailand today, and so Ari and I both had on sweatshirts and yoga pants- strange to call it "cool", still!
After the walk, we went to UD town for dinner. We ate food at an outdoor food court, which was pretty neat. Ari and I tried pizza, which had tomatoes, lemon grass, mushrooms, and onions on it... look at us thinking outside the box and trying new things!
On the way home, the WORLD'S BEST THING HAPPENED.
WE SAW ELEPHANTS.
JUST WALKING DOWN THE STREET.
Yes, I realize that people shouldn't encourage the elephant owners to bring them into the city, because it's horrible for them, but you have no idea how unbelievably neat it was to see them, feed them, and touch them. THEY ARE HUGE! Way bigger than what I pictured- it was a bit of a shock.
I am still smiling- I just might have a bit of Elephant fever!
