Pete the Cat Comes to Korea


At the end of June until the beginning of July, Emily's parents came to Korea for a visit!  They had a nice side trip to Taiwan for a week, where they went to Taipei, Taroko Gorge, and the northern shore.  Upon their return, we went to Jeju Island, and then spent a few days with them in Seoul.

On Tuesday, July 3rd, Emily's parents went to Emily's school, Pre-School Academy (PSA) to see where she works and to hang out with the kids for a little while.  After a short tour of the school, we sang the 'snack song' together with the kids, asked everyone, "How are you?", and then read a story together.

Mom Przylucki brought some books with her to read to the 4 year old students.  She brought, "Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes".  The students sat on the mat, entranced with these new visitors and the book.  We read about the adventures of Pete and how he keeps turning his white shoes all new colors.  The students played along, danced along, and sang along with the story.  They loved having Emily's parents there!

The next day, one of the students told Emily a story.  She told her mom that Emily Teacher's mommy and daddy visited the school, and her mother didn't believe her.  She asked Emily's co-teacher Heidi if it was true, and Heidi said yes!  The parent was happy that her daughter was able to meet Emily Teacher's parents, and that they read a story to the class!  The students enjoyed it and talked about it for days afterwards :)
