The Best Job in the World

Yesterday, classes were canceled (again), so that we could hike up Yudal with the kids. I spent all day being treated like a rock-star and force fed junk food by my students. Thankfully, I remembered to bring my camera:

One of my special needs kids. She giggles every time she sees me.
Over time, she's gone from barely touching my hand to full-on wrap-around hugs.

Grade 6 teacher, Mrs Myeong (Kindergarten teacher) and computer teacher.

I spent a lot of time self-camming with the kids.
Sweet kid.

Mr Lee (speaks ultra-correct English with me), Ms Jeong, the other secretary, my principal.

This girl is very very very good in English, but I don't like her attitude.

Fragile: She's special needs, very gentle, and one of the most beautiful children I've ever seen.
I worry about her future.

Kindergarten kids: It occurred to me afterwards that the little girl is signing "A" (fingerspelling alphabet).

All my students!

A horrible picture of me, but I had to get this girl on my blog.
Keep an eye on her, she's going to rule the world one day.

Kids playing on sculptures in the park.

At the sculpture park.

Grade 5 kids.
They've put away their horns and pitchforks for now.
(actually, my favourite class at the moment)

Buried under a pile of kids.

My kindergarten class.
The little girl in the yellow shirt next to me is only 3 years old, and knows all her alphabet, colours, and shapes in English. I call her "Kitten" because she meows a lot.

A few of my darling Grade 2 girls.

Lee Seung-jae: Eager to please, good in English (was 2nd top student in my class last term).
And I know his name because he is easily tempted to the dark side and spends quite a bit of time in the hallway too.
