Back at School.

   The warm welcome from students and teachers included an opportunity for me address them all, via a translator, at their morning assembly.  It was my first introduction to the third grade class so I'm leaning new names/faces,
   I also taught 4th grade today and I remembered most of their names.  It was heartening to see that they remembered much of the vocabulary I taught last year.  Based on my experience learning Thai I've concluded that one of the best things I can do for them is teach vocabulary with pronunciation.  I've found that with my Thai vocabulary (limited) I can negotiate fairly well even if I can't construct sentences.
   One of the families from the school brought a special lunch as a treat today...pasta salad.  The teachers politely thanked the family and as soon as the family left sent students to buy Thai food from the street vendors.
