I got up early this morning to go to Seoul Elementary School. I was later than I intended, but got there before the rotations started. I signed in at the office and got a badge. I am baffled that they don't ask to see my ID. I went to Mrs. Jackson's room. There was a chair in the back of the room with papers on it. So I sat there and watched class proceed, while one of the other volunteers entertained her preschooler until rotations started. The principal came in to watch. I think the teacher started the rotations early because of that. The first group I had was obviously the smart group. They kept begging for harder problems, like adding 4-digit numbers! The others did less well, and the room was so noisy that my throat went dry trying to keep their attention. But the time went by quickly. I only had each group for 10 minutes. My phone rang during one of them, but I couldn't answer it. When the rotations were over, I gave the teacher my report on who needed more help, and then went to the commissary. Since it was not yet 10am, I used the early bird entrance. No one was there to check my ID, so I just walked in and bought frozen fruit. The cashier did check my ID then. I took my fruit home and put it in the freezer. I called Julia back and she wanted me to bring her baby quilts after work. I spent the rest of the day on e-mail, and cutting up scraps. I also took a nap. I did not mean to do that, and when I realized that it was because I was cold, I put on a long-sleeved shirt. I was watching the latest episode of The Quilt Show when Chris came home. He chose to have get-it-yourself leftovers, so we did. Then we settled in to watch MacGyver. But Julia called to say she was coming to the gate to get her quilts. So I took them over, and waited. I had to call her as she had forgotten and gone to a friend's house. Once the quilts were delivered, we spent the evening watching MacGvyer. I swear the logging episode had no MacGyver 'tricks' in it. In the later seasons it seems he spends more time addressing social issues than demonstrating physics.
