TEFL Certified!

shockingly enough, the course is over. the two weeks have flown by. our teaching practices went pretty well. we were at the local lamai school on tuesday and wednesday, teaching the equivalent to 5th graders. we moved onto a school in chaweng on thursday and friday, teaching the equivalent to 6th graders. at each school we had the students for two whole days. two hours of english lessons in the morning (it was scheduled so each of us taught three lessons over the four days), and two hours of crafts and games in the afternoon. it was a whirlwind of teaching, children and then long nights of planning and prepping. i had my last lesson on thursday, and pam finished up this morning (she rocked- the kids loved her!).

Pam and me with some of our students.

this afternoon, we got together for some food and drinks, and had our little "graduation ceremony" on the beach. we are officially certified to teach english as a foreign language. oh yeah.

and now for a night of fun before the work of job searching really begins. onward and upward!
