Finally, I was able to visit the schools today! It was a perfect day to begin because it was teacher appreciation day. They go all out for this, with a ceremony and presentation of beautiful flower arrangements for the teachers. The school I was at today was very well organized and the students seemed willing and anxious to learn. Tomorrow, I am going to the same school to observe the Thai teacher teach a lesson in English (today I got to help one of the volunteers). Then on Saturday and Sunday, I'm attending a conference for teachers in Krabi. There will probably be around 200 teachers there. The first day, everything will be in Thai. The second day, I have to give a 3 hour workshop on how to use their new textbook! Please pray!!

Hola Sarah;
ReplyDeletePraying all goes well. 200 teachers? WOW! Do you have a microphone?
So nice that teachers are appreciated. It seems to be the rule everywhere but here....
Have a great day.
Yes, it was a very nice hotel. Apparently it's famous with Chinese tourists. This week the hotel is more low-scale, but I'll still have a computer and a mike.
