First snow

It started snowing today around 1pm.

I was so thrilled. Michelle and I got all bundled up to go out in the snow and play, then the little kids came and joined. They were as excited as we to see the snow. Completely adorable.





I love to see the snow blowing by our window.

We have the greatest view from our office.

These are terrible pictures because of the glare. For whatever reason you can always see back into the office regardless of flash. Oh well... You can see Mike chillin' at his computer trying to ignore me taking pictures....

The kids are supposed to write in a diary when they are older so that we can read it and help them with their english. Its a good idea in theory, until you get a diary entry like this......

It's definitely honest

Erik and I have this stupid inside joke about German people. We nicknamed ourselves Hans and Helga and we talk in loud German accents to one another and laugh like jolly beer maidens. Its really dumb, but we find it incredibly amusing.

I went into my classroom one day and saw this on my board.

thanks Erik

My elementary students are hilarious. They make me laugh constantly. I have a few classes where the kids know really great english and they use it to make me and Michelle laugh constantly.

I taught them the "finger mustache" thing and they latched onto it. They LOVED it.

Lydia:

Gabinna (She later was reading a story and would use her finger mustache to accentuate the guy voices)

Another thing they love to do is put tape over their mouths and blow out. They found out one day that this makes me laugh every time because it looks so funny.

Today, in Kristen's class they were making a volcano and since the Koreans that work at our school are so thoughtless... they decided to have a meeting in MY CLASSROOM. So my kids and I had nowhere to go. We decided to join Kristen's class of 3 with my class of 2 and just hang out and make a volcano.

The flour was a big hit with Lydia and Amy

Lydia is the one who likes to jump on me on the streets when she sees me.

They also like to take the camera and turn it on me. Then Rodney (Korean name sounds like "How've you been?) jumped into the picture.

Michelle and I told Christine that we would be perfectly happy if the school decided they should fire us and send us home. I wouldn't argue with it.

I miss home :(

I miss you so much! Although, it does look like you do some entertaining activities with your students.

As for your boss, it is not as though you will be spending the rest of your life at this school. I know it is cliche, but think of this as a learning experience. She is a good example of everything you NEVER want to be!

Love you.
