Baking Parties Galore...

I planned today's afternoon activity: baking party! I picked out four recipes, and divided the students into four groups of three, so they each got to bake something. There was a peanut butter chocolate square, a cherry cream pie, chocolate chip cookies, and a chocolate cinnamon cake. Yum! All the students did really well reading the directions in English, and I just walked back and forth between the groups helping as needed. Then we had a huge feast around 5pm, which definitely spoiled everyone's dinner, but it was so worth it. Koreans are not overly used to sweet things. Arleen and I had no problem, but some of them were getting tummy aches from the sugar. We had so much fun, and I'm glad we could do something different! It was a neat experience getting some of the ingredients at Zehrs beforehand, and you can tell that they are getting over some of their initial shyness with asking strangers for help.

Tonight was my roommate's birthday party, and she asked us to give whatever money we would have spent on a dinner to WWF. It was a great time, full of meeting new people, and everyone got along fabulously.

I am extremely tired, and have another full day tomorrow, so I am signing off now.

Have a wonderful evening!

Love,
Ashleigh

It must be very exciting for you to be having this teaching experience with the Korean students and even though it is stretching you , the experience you are getting is going to be a great help to you in your future plans.
