http://apetri.weebly.com/3/archives/04-2011/1.html
From the BK to the SK. When I was in fourth grade, I'll never forget how much my classmates and I dreaded Ms. Varano's punishments when we misbehaved. Do the 12-times table five times - my way," she'd say to us while clutching her cross as she tried to hide her shakey hands that betrayed her voice. Whether she was intensely frustrated with us or intensely intimidated, I will never know, but my classmates and I have reason to believe she was the latter. Her way looked like this:. This is not the first tim...

Sports Day Triumph | Dreadlocks on the Roks
https://kimchidreadlocks.wordpress.com/2011/05/17/sports-day-triumph
Life unawares from the Korean peninsula…. Dreadlocks on the Roks. As preparations were being made the week before, I began to wonder what my assigned roll for the day would be. Up until this point the only thing that was certain was that I would need to wear athletic clothes. Then I’m told that the object of the event will be for the students (in this case, sixth graders) to stand around said circle and hurl as many small beanbags as they can into cart before the time runs out. Lucky for me I have some e...

Teaching from the Bottom of the Totem Pole #5: Story Time | Dreadlocks on the Roks
https://kimchidreadlocks.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/teaching-from-the-bottom-of-the-totem-pole-5-story-time
Life unawares from the Korean peninsula…. Dreadlocks on the Roks. Teaching from the Bottom of the Totem Pole #5: Story Time. One of the new sections is “Story Time”–short and simple tales that are in no way related to the topic of the chapter, but somehow contain ESL value. Unfortunately, Story Time has ultimately failed to impress as an addition to the curriculum. Let’s take a look at the Story Time from the fifth grade text. It’s entitled “Who Am I.”. I wonder how good her English is. But Maybe I’...

A capsule every night - From the BK to the SK
http://apetri.weebly.com/3/post/2011/08/a-capsule-every-night.html
From the BK to the SK. A capsule every night. I don:t know where to begin in describing how happy I feel in this electrifying city - aside from the heat that is. Apparently there is a heat wave in Tokyo right now, which is just my luck, but I:ve been making the best of it and chugging water like a camel every hour. So, after approving of my living arrangement, I put down my things and started walking toward the Shinjuku area, which is a popular and more famous part of Tokyo. It is about 20ish minutes...

From the BK to the SK. Basta with the Bandages. OK, Korea, enough is enough. I come into school on Monday, pass by the same boy who has had a bright,green cast on his arm. For the past nine months, wave hello and wonder who else I'll see that day who is suffering from some kind of severely detached limb or something of the like. Your foot - it's sick (this is sort of the way to ask what happened). Yes, teacher. Soccer. Very, very sick," he answered. He had gauze pads on both sides of his face, one placed...

Two to go... - From the BK to the SK
http://apetri.weebly.com/3/post/2011/08/two-to-go.html
From the BK to the SK. I'm back in the ROK for a few days until I take off for my backpacking trip, and I couldn't be any more excited. I browsed around before finding two journals I loved. It is a traditional Japanese journal with lines running vertically down the page. If I turn it horizontally, it gives me only about 6 lines to write on - I'd finish the entire book in one entry. I decided to make it a book for quotes that I loved, and so. We walked back to the store. I told her that I loved it and fel...

Two weekends left? - From the BK to the SK
http://apetri.weebly.com/3/post/2011/08/two-weekends-left.html
From the BK to the SK. I have nine days left of desk warming before I head to meet my brother, Michael, in Japan for a week before heading off to travel. Well, I mean, I come back to Korea to collect myself and my things for three days before heading off, but still - I HAVE TWO WEEKENDS LEFT OF LIVING IN KOREA. Pretty much every night that last month before leaving. So, I can't say I'm insanely disappointed, because God knows that my bank account could do without going out every night right before going ...
