It is the first week of school here in Korea. I was teaching a lesson to the 5th graders (when we moved to Korea they were in 3rd grade! Bah - my babies all grown up!). The title of the lesson was, "I'm from Brazil." (FORESHADOWING).
We were looking at a map of the world. I asked the kiddos, "What country is this?" (I was, of course, pointing at a country on the map.) The first three answers were, "America" "England" and "Ap-pree-ca" (that is Africa).
Um, no, try again. I may nor may not have started smiling at this point.
I finally gave in and told them that it is Brazil!
In defense of the rest of the 5th grade kiddos, I only had 10 kids out of 125 guess incorrectly. Yeah, we are trying to shake the cobwebs out this week!
