More Practice Teaching and My Real Teaching Assignment!

I have practiced taught for three days now and have had mixed experiences. Yesterday, I was in literally the class from hell. We were at an orphanage and teaching children between the ages of 3 and 9 the basic model, which was far too advanced for some of the kids in the classroom. Sara and I were the last group to go, and even though we knew it would be a challenge, all hell broke loose for our lesson. The kids were running around, refusing to respond to us, and beating each other up. At one point, I witnessed a little boy rip off part of a toe nail of a girl that had been rolling her eyes into the back of her head the entire morning. It was certainly a challenge and I was more than relieved when I found out that I will be teaching high schoolers in Ahyutthaya for the next 5 months.
Today, we went to an orphanage that scouts boys that excel in soccer. They were between the ages of 11 and 15 and extremely well behaved. Though I was nervous at first, my lesson went well and I am feeling a lot more confident. Tomorrow I will teach at a juvenile detention center, and then go back to the orphanage on Friday for my final day of teaching.
Now that I know I will be living in Ayutthaya with Kate, Kim, Alex, and Matthias, I am extremely relived and so excited. Ayutthaya was the capital of Siam and has ruins and temples mixed in with the new city. they also have elephant tours around the city so I will be hanging out with elephants every day!! Ice told us that we will be in 2 schools, 1 is for "naughty kids" that is walking distance from our accommodation (grandparents home), and the other has kids that are more motivated, but is a 30 minute commute from our guest house. I am honestly indifferent, as the "naughty kids" are just ones that are not as excited about learning, but that means taht lesson planning will be simpler because it will take longer to get the kids to participate.
We aren't able to move to Ayutthaya until the 30th, so Kate and I are going to go to Krabi and Ko Samui/Ko Panang and do some island hopping. It's going to be really interesting to be in Thailand but not with our group. However, we are heading up to Bangkok either the 26th or 27th and going out the night of the 27th for my birthday, so hopefully people within an hour of Bangkok will come in and we can have a reunion.
