Evening activity time

Every night, from about 8:00-9:00 or 9:30, we have an evening activity session with the boarding students at the new house.  The students who are currently boarding here are the oldest students, those completing the 4th or 5th year.

I have learned a great deal about the Thai education system while here, including how different it is from the system in the US.  You should know that the college has two types of certificate programs, and many of the students who meet in the evening are finishing the second program.

We do a variety of activities at night-- we sing songs, read from books and perform skits.  Recently, I added bingo to the mix-- which is a great way to learn numbers.  Plus, I bring prizes (candy) to make it more interesting.

Last night, Dr. Tony had us finish with a little karaoke, which was fun!

The orange PE uniform is only worn on Wednesdays.  This seems to be very common in Thailand, to have a separate uniform worn only one day a week.  Other days, the uniform is a white button down shirt and either a navy skirt or pants.
