The Postcard project

        I used to use postcrossing for myself but gave it up a long while then with the English teaching I thought it would be fun and surprise for the kids, so recently I've been using it to get some postcard from abroad to teach English for them.

       They had a great time drawing, coloring and writing. I hope it will make them happy once they received it from mail delivery.

Postcards received from postcrossing. they love to see snow very much.

They drew and wrote their own postcard which I will mailed it to a friend in bangkok and it will soon be sent back to them.

What they wrote, they all picked Thai flag stamps except mine. well, we are Thai, they say.

I'm a candidate number... Please Vote for me

         It's been postponed for a big long while and finally with the Bangkok's governor election. Here, at Ban Tha Rua, we finally got together to vote. It was fun and Nuva ( 5 years old little one in blue dress) joined us and made it more fun.

Voting time.

Let's pick the best candidate.

Agif and Nuva

      I was at the local coffee shop like always then Agif and Nuva came to the shop. Agif missed school because he had a fever. Nuva missed school because Agif didn't go and she's always too lazy to take a bath and go to school. I have some angry birds for coloring left and thought it will be fun for them so I gave them to color it. then when a postcard from postcrossing arrived they curious and love it because it has a coin on the back side it. This was a nice day and with activities we did together I'm not sure if they really did not go to school after all.

nice postcard with colorful stamps.

balloons and sunset

   There's a sport events at the local school nearby. I want to see the opening ceremony in the morning. I wish I had taken more picture but it was too hot that I'm not in the mood. so I just shot the balloons.

       On the evening, I took two kids to play at the beach and watch the sunset. I'm leaving this place soon so I'm trying to enjoy it as much as I can. with kids and sunset, the evening became the best part of the day.

Can... and a meal to say thanks

        Today we talk about "Can" and I gave them worksheet with pictures of animal for them to fill the blank of what can those animal can do. Then I asked them to draw their friends and wrote what they can do which is anything such as swimming, running, walking, crying, singing, floating, eating a lot, and flying. Then we went to have a little picnic again.

      Beside teaching kids today on the afternoon some of the kids parents cook food and we ate together. It's a kind of farewell party and a thank you for me to help their kids learn English.

A little Picnic

      These kids and myself love to play outside. Yesterday we agreed that we will each bring lunch and eat together at a little hut near the rice field which that was harvested last month. some kids didn't packed their meal so we shared our foods. Then we explored around the area a bit. it's my Bday today so I just let them do whatever they want and it's so nice to spent it with them.

Angry Birds mania

     the kids love angry birds and after teaching them to read I printed out angry birds for coloring. at the back of their paper each wrote some related vocab like clouds, pigs, yellow bird, eggs and such. we had a lovely time and when they are doing art they are nice and quiet. :) 

same red bird!
