Cooking Day

Hello Everyone. So every Friday, instead of teaching a normal lesson (right now, it's phonics) we have our classes in the kitchen where the students are able to do some cooking. Our classes start off with introducing the recipe. Usually it's something small and typical Korean, sometimes it's a little more Western and sometimes it's just jam-packed with sugar and chocolate. This past Friday, we made kimbab (김밥, 김 meaning seaweed and 밥 meaning rice). It's very delicious.



So we start off by having a sheet of seaweed and spread some rice on it. Then there are many things to put inside: thin strips of carrots, cucumbers, scrambled egg and pickled radish. You lay it all out on one side and roll it up like an egg roll. It's very delicious and the kids love it.



Here are some pictures of my kids.. It looks really out of control, but Fridays are usually pretty crazy days. The video is of the kids playing an intense game of rock, scissor, paper. There was one kimbab left and by playing rock, scissor, paper is the fairest way to determine the winner. that game works for any small conflicts in the classroom. Who knew?
