Oksan Elementary Sports Day

Every elementary school in Korea have a Sports Day at least once a year. It's a day where students compete in different sports event. At my school, there were relay races, hula hoops, tug of war, and other fun activities.

Kindergartens and their moms dancing!

I actually took part in two of the relay races; one with a student and one with the teachers. For the first race, a student had a mission to find me on the field and run with me in order to finish the race. For the second race, I was one of the teachers running a relay against the parents. A lot of the students came up to me after and said, "Teacher, running, good!" with their thumbs up. I was glad I participated! There are a few videos of me but I'll post that later.

It was festive because many of the parents were there. The old grandmothers and grandfathers who live around the school also came to watch. We got a free lunch and got to leave school by 1pm!

I love this semester; there are so many events happening at school!
