How did that happen?

 March is pretty much half way over. Shocking. I had a dream that I had to explain what shocking meant to a Korean. It was frustrating. The new year is underway. School has been crazy, loud, chaotic, and adorable. More so than usual. We have a lot of new co-workers and lots of new babies. There are still a few who cry whenever they see a foreigner. That's fun. My new Robots are last years Elephant/Puppy classes. They're fun and adjusting very well to the fourth floor. My old Robots combined with Zebra class and they make up King Class. The new Texan teacher, Michael is in charge of those personalities now. I also work with Zebra and Elephant. Two classes who have never had a white teacher before. It's a challenge. For my elementary classes, I have a class of 8 year olds who have never learned English before. It's extra challenging for me because my tricks that I use on the babies do not work on the older kids. I like babies much more. I also still have my class of 9 year olds that I had in King class my first year and in elementary classes last year. I can't believe how long I've been at this school. For example: Amy, Tom, Mark, Kate and Jenny. I had them everyday when they were in Puppy Class. I had them everyday in Robot Class. And I see them everyday in King Class now. That's basically every single day for two and half years! That's crazy! Im trying to enjoy my remaining time here. I played screen golf this weekend. It was the best game I've ever played. Usually when I play, I just double par every hole. This time, I got one birdie and three pars! I'm proud. I also got some overalls. They crack me up. The kids say Agi Teacher, which means Baby Teacher, when I wear them. I hope spring finds you all healthy and happy. See you sooon!!! YAY!! Also, weird.
My Super Sentence Board. When the I hear a good sentence, I write it down.
My name-tag tree.
ABC's.
The kids colored all the letters. I cut them out an laminated them with the capital and lower case letters.


The English Village board and the map. The E.V board currently has pictures that the kids drew of the school. Sometimes there are flags or whatever section we're working on in E.V.  It's a fun thing to teach. I enjoy it.
