		<description><![CDATA[Newton class is a group of 6 year olds.  I teach math and science to them.  Over the last few months in science, we&#8217;ve been talking about the five senses.  The unit finishes with the sense of touch.  I mentioned as we were talking about soft and rough that my cat Ivory is very soft.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy New Year!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is Seollal (설날), or Lunar New Year.  It&#8217;s a time when Koreans travel to the homes where they grew up and celebrate the new year.  In that way, it&#8217;s similar to Chuseok.  They dress in Hanbok, the traditonal Korean dress.  One traditional food eaten during Seollal is tteokguk, which is  a soup with rice [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Is It?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is from a couple years ago.  It&#8217;s an activity that focuses on speaking, especially asking questions and basic vocabulary.  The idea is to blindfold a student and then give them an object.  Another student asks the first what he/she is holding.  If the student can&#8217;t guess, the other students give clues.   It&#8217;s a lot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Happy Pepero Day to all!

Pepero Day is celebrated here in South Korea by giving people &#8220;Peperos&#8221; (빼빼로). They are long skinny cookies sticks dipped in chocolate. Very yummy!  If you&#8217;re a teacher, you usually end up with tons of them.  Personally, I only eat Peperos on Pepero Day.  By the time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Songpyeon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my post on Chuseok, I talked about songpyeon.
I was at Lotte Mart this afternoon doing my weekly grocery shopping.  I was actually having a songpyeon craving.  Does this mean I&#8217;ve been in Korea way too long for my own good?  I don&#8217;t know.
So I bought a small package of them.  The homemade ones (as [...]]]></description>
