NEW CLASSROOM!

Hello, and welcome to Songsaegnim Sheena's classroom!

(Songseagnim is teacher in Korean, in the Dojang I am a saebumnim which is instructor.)

These are pictures of my new classroom/office.

It is small and cosy, I don't keep the kids in their seats very much because we are always playing games and I encourage them to speak English and use sentences. Some of them are very shy so I tell them to whipser their English sentences to me. It has been fun so far and the kids have seemed to really warmed up to me in the last few weeks!

Right now I am covered in bruises and I am sore all over! I have been training with a great coach from Australia named Zibby Kruk, he trains me to the bone and is always trying to make me perfect-if it is not perfect it won't do. So I look and feel like I am training hard! Sean Yu, the 4th degree of ITF Korea also teaches me classes at night time from 9-10:30pm and he also works me hard...in Korean! I am loving doing TaeKwon-Do here, the Dojangs all look like a high class palace and there is a lot of Dojangs and tons of different martail arts! I can have my choice of things to do here that is for sure! I can do yoga, or sword fighting or archery or I can learn to write in Korean cursive writing! Nothing here looks like back home, there is always something to see or do and I am always wide-eyed and in awe of things here. I appreciate their respect for each other, and how kids really respect their peers and teachers.

I will be having another fun filled weekend coming up, I will be sure to get lots of pictures!

One of these days I also have to take pictures of my kindergarden class.... imagine 3-5 year olds trying to learn English and TaeKwon-Do-its a crazy class but somehow I can handle them for 45 mins everyday!
