Time flies

Well I know it's been over a month since I've posted last and for that, I'm sorry. Been working and being sick, I just haven't been too productive lately. But things are about to change! I'm finally starting to feel better and Christmas is almost here!

Classes have been going really well I would say. Although, lately my classes have been significantly smaller since the kids have been testing in school. Today was the first day that I have had full classes in nearly two weeks. I had just started to get accustomed to classes with only three or four students. But on the bright side, they are all back and hyper as always. I will confess that I do miss the wild kids when they aren't in class. They truly make my day. 

This week I've really noticed a difference in some students. I've had the greatest feeling lately. Realizing that the kids are improving and breaking out of their shells and becoming much more lively in class. Specifically, there are two girls that I have that have always been two of the shyest students that I've had, but in the past few weeks, and noticeably this week, they are now always volunteering to read and speaking really well. A month ago, if you would have told me this, I wouldn't of believed you, but now they seem much more comfortable with the speaking skills that they literally want to read everything.

Also, my kids are just plain cute and they know it! My kids are constantly asking me, "Teacher, when are you going to learn Korean?"  In class, they will try to explain Korean to me in English. They've been trying to teaching me basics like counting and who are the cool pop bands to listen to. It's absolutely adorable!

These kids also know how to act if I'm mad because they're not doing their work. If I say something to them, they always respond with, "Teacher, I love you!" or "Teacher, you are beautiful!" A few have even been bringing candy for me. 

These past four months have really flown by and I can't believe it's already Christmas season. It's insane to think that I am 1/3 done already, but the saying is true. "Time flies when you're having fun!" I promise not to wait so long to post again and I will post more videos soon!! Stay tuned...

Peace & Love,
