After I came home from spending 3 days and 2 nights with close to 100 7th graders last year, I swore that I would never, ever chaperon a school overnight trip again. Well, 1 year has a way of dulling the vehemence of an emotion and I agreed to chaperon a similar trip instead with 6th graders.
The trip was great. The students were loud and rambunctious, but cute and harmless none the less. We left from school at 8am and flew to Jeju Island, known for its wind, rocks and women. We were ready to learn all about them and were immediately bussed off to our 1st of 6 stops our first day. In 3 days we saw lava caves, museums, orange plantations, an observatory, a world natural heritage site, rode in a submarine, saw some waterfalls, the world cup stadium, more mountains, and an historic site where the 1st foreigners made contact with Korea. Whew!
Here are some pictures from the trip.

By the way, we could use some comments to see if anyone is looking at this blog. It helps us keep going.

I'm reading... well catching up... sorry! The pics of the 6th graders are cute. They remind me of my monsters in the 8th grade -- rambunctious, annoying, but often cute and endearing too.
