Christmas at Seosan Elementary

Even though I am not the world's most Christmas-y person, I believe that it's still a pretty important holiday (especially when you are a teacher...). When I arrived at my school back in May and learned that I only had 125 kids, and that they were all relatively poor, I knew that I had to do something special for them - which came in the form of buying each one a small gift, wrapping them and getting Santa and Rudolph to come to my school to distribute them.

The kids were sooooooooo excited. It really felt good to bring them something special today.

Thanks go out to Alex, Monique, Garrett, Tyrone and Zepher. I couldn't have done this without you!

The Special Class meets Santa - they had the BEST reactions.

How excited are these kids?

Shock and awe
