2 Days and Counting to Korea

On Friday, I fly to South Korea to work with school leaders in the city of Iksan. I can't believe the departure date is almost here.

I am looking forward to learning about the Iksan school system and how they educate their young. I am especially curious about how they teach math in the early grades and prepare students for the middle level. I hope to get a better understanding of how students are taught basic computation skills and how they apply these skills in more advance math classes.

So, what do you pack when you are traveling to South Korea? Tonight, I began to use my best problem solving skills to try and figure out how to "Pack Lightly" for an almost three week stay.

I will try to post entries as often as I can...

Korea here I come!
