More TESOL Pictures
Here are the rest of my TESOL pictures :)
These pictures were taken in class.
Everyday we were learning
different methods to teach English.
We got to participate in a lot of fun activities!
Mijin, Avon, and Rusty got to be our runway models :)
This was my fashion group

Worship Time
One morning, when I was out walking,
I ran across this huge slug.
It probably isn't a big deal to a lot of you out there, but I have never seen a slug any bigger that about an inch long in Montana. Of course, I had to get a picture of it, but since I didn't have my camera on my walk, (and being a little bit immature, but also a Montana girl) I found this bottle and let the slug crawl into it while I continued walking. Then when I came back by, I carried the bottle back to the campus and got a picture. Now there is a giant slug lurking on the YWAM campus... :)
Hugging the water tower for a scavenger hunt
We had so much fun taking TESOL. Of course, it was really difficult and sometimes there was a lot of stress, but our group really helped each other through the difficult times. We also got to do a lot of random things...
-I ate seaweed for the first time ever
-We learned how to make breakfast for about 100-150 people in a restaurant kitchen
-I learned how to correctly use a knife from the kitchen chef... lol
-We got to go see The Music Man at the Bigfork Playhouse
-We had a bonfire and everyone played their instruments and sang
-I went swimming several times at Flathead Lake
-We heard Tim Fain in concert :)
-Jeff took our class out to DQ twice!
-We attempted to do a sleep over in our class room...
but everyone eventually went to their own rooms haha
-We witnessed an intense pillow fight between 4 girls on Tuesday night,
at 10:00 p.m., while our teachers stood and cheered it on! (it was pretty great)
We had a great time!
Playing Quelf
For our last night of practicum,
we had a party for out students.
We had lots of food and each of our students
brought food that they enjoy
from their native country.
It was really fun!
One of the students read a poem in Spanish and taught us a song
Here are 4 of the students.
These ladies were so much fun to get to know.
I'm excited about the opportunity to keep teaching a few of them.
My fellow teachers and English student
TESOL invades Glacier National Park!
For our last night, our teachers planned
a big banquet style dinner for us.
They served prime rib, potato salad, huckleberry salad,
and lots of other really great food.
It was really nice!
We had a contest with our sunflowers
to see whose was the tallest.
Mine came in 2nd so they gave me a really nice diary :)
I was excited!
Our teacher Jeff and his wife Kristy
Andy and Cortnie our other teachers
Sarah and Rusty
(Rusty was also part of the TESOL staff)
Our teachers were really thoughtful and
gave us so much encouragement!
Graduation
By taking this month long course, each of us received a teaching certificate from
the University of Nations as well as from the Sea English Academy in Australia.
The SEA certificate will allow us access as teachers into any nation in the world.
It is an amazing tool to be able to use on the mission field!
The class with our certificates! Whoot whoot! :D
Final group pictures
The last picture I took was after Mjin put my
sunflower(Darla) into the car and we buckled it in for the trip home. lol
Darla and I made it home safely
due to our trusty seatbelts!
