It's Time for a Chusseok Party!





Happy Chusseok everyone! Today our school celebrated Chusseok, the Korean Thanksgiving. Our morning was particularly fun because we did not have normal classes; instead we had a Chusseok party with all of our prekinder and kinder kids! All the kids showed up in their Hanboks, traditional Korean Chusseok clothing. We spent the day making Korean kites, playing traditional Korean games, dancing Chusseok dances, and having a lot of fun. It was quite delightful. Most of the pictures are of my kindergarten class, I love them all. They are so much fun and such smart 6 year olds (7 Korean age)! They looked so cute in their Hanboks!


We also received many gifts from our students today, from food and coffee drinks to a coffee maker, gift baskets of cleaning supplies, face creams and more. Also our director gave us each a gigant gift basket of fruit...so now we have 12 bananas, 2 gigantic cantaloupes, 8 Asian pears, 6 apples, 8 golden kiwis, 12 clementine oranges and 2 giant bunches of grapes to eat. Woohoo fruit and Happy Chusseok!



Also...here is a video showing just how much Nick's prekinders love him...they literally immobilize him in the hallways to hug and climb on him. :)
