Sad Times in 7-3

This past week was sad for Fred's 7-3 class (meaning the kids are 7 years old and in their 3rd year of English). Four of his eight students left LCI for another school. They are all changing schools together as they prepare to become first graders. On Thursday we said goodbye to Hailey, Sally, Kevin K and Chloe. It was sad to see these kids say goodbye to their friends that they have been studying with for the past 3 years. Fred spent the day playing and taking a lot of photos. Friday was very interesting, as his class could now all sit around one table. His remaining students are Kelly, Ann, Issac and Eric. They will all become very smart students over the next month based on their small class size.

On Saturday Fred, Steve, Josh, Ann and I headed bowling. We have passed this bowling alley many times but we have never gone. Yesterday was the day. We entered the 14 lane bowling alley and had to wait for about 10 minutes for a lane to open. It was exactly like at home but there was no restaurant/bar for food and drinks. We were put in a lane next to some very intense Korean bowlers. They were fun to watch yet intimidating at the same time. After bowling a few games, we went to dinner than came home. This morning we headed out for lunch and coffee. It has been a very relaxing weekend. Tomorrow we are celebrating Seolnal (Lunar New Year). The students are going to wear their Hanboks (traditional Korean clothing) to school. Then Tuesday is our last day for the week due to the holiday. I will post pictures tomorrow!
