BIRTHDAYS BIRTHDAYS BIRTHDAYS BIRTHDAYS BIRTHDAYS! !!!!






November is the month for Birthdays in my 4th grade classroom! There are 5 birthdays in my class in the month of November! On Friday, Louise celebrate her birthday by bringing a Haagen Daaz ice cream cake to class! It was soooo delicious! It was definitely the best birthday cake I have had since coming to China :)



This week, Heather gave Kristen, Lisa, and me an invitation to her birthday party. This was my first traditional Korean birthday party! When we arrived, we were seated around small table filled with food! We were treated to a great Korean meal- seaweed soup, noodles, clams, shrimp, kimchi (spicy cabbage), fish and eggs... the food was

great!

As you can see by the above picture, I couldn't help carrying on the "4th grade tradition" of placing frosting on the face of the birthday girl:) We got a little carried away, but it was a lot of fun!


After our meal and cake we stayed for awhile and played games with our students...





My day was not finished though! After Heather's party I jumped in a taxi and headed to Joseph's home to celebrate his birthday! I think my boys were surprised to see me!

I made it just in time for the birthday cake and games! Joseph's cake was huge!

Of course, Joseph's mom gave me more food! I was so full by the time I made it home, but it was such a great day of spending time with my students outside of school :)
