At 8.30 a.m., my friends and I had been ready for going to some schools. We were divided into three schools. Elsa, Nia, Rura, and I would observed in the same school, it was a primary school named Prathom Suksa Thammasat. This prathom is an international prathom. We would teach math, science, and Indonesian culture there.
In this prathom, we were accompanied by Bee, Am, and Oam. They are studying English for Teaching in VRU. We also met a friendly English teacher, we Ajarn Rak. They taught us some words in Thai such as yai-yai for much, phit for spicy, khob khun kaa for thank you, and so on. They also wrote our name in Thai letter. The most important they taught us is the difference between male and female letter in Thai since the toilet sign in this prathom was not in picture. The following picture is the sign for female.
In addition, they served us food for lunch. There were chicken curry, egg, and rice. They said that it was their traditional food, unfortunately I could not remember its name. However the taste of curry was as spicy as Palekko (one of favorite food in South Sulawesi, Indonesia) and the color was also quite similiar. The food was aloiy (delicious).
After ate, we met a Russian Teacher, Bob. Teacher Bob showed us his way in teaching, shared us much important things in teaching, and told some advise for us. He also asked about some unique things in Indonesia.
Teacher Bob showed us one of his special student. The student disliked to sit in a long time, he just liked playing and always move. However, he could speak in English well. Teacher Bob asked him some questions in English and he could answer. Besides that, Teacher Bob pointed a boy who like speaking too much but actually smart.
After teaching, Teacher Bob introduced the Prathom and showed its rooms. He also showed us the canteen preparing halal food, oh yeah, he is a moslem.
Besides observed Teacher Bob teaching in third graders of IEP (Intensive English Program) class, we also saw Oam and Bee teaching in third graders of EP (English Program) class.
At 4 p.m. we with Oam went back to VRU. Firstly, we went to in front of Thammasat University by free bus and then went to VRU by a van by paying 15 baht (approximately 6.000 rupiah).
The second day was really joyful.

Hai, I am really curious on a deeper description of your school. May be you could explain more about the name of the school, the range age of the students, the number of students in a class, how is the study funding, etc.
