Today I taught three 3rd grade classes. This was my first time teaching the 3rd grade classes. These kids were better at English than most of the older ones. They are so precious and energetic. There was one girl who just held my hand for the the whole class time. Love it!

My school computer is broken, so I just read and studied Korean in the afternoon. One of my favorite kids, Hee Jee, drew a picture of me in a wedding dress and wrote me a sweet note. Last week we were looking at pictures of wedding dresses... she thought all the ones I liked were "boring and plain". Compared to the ones she liked (huge ball gowns with bright colors), she was right haha. So she drew me a nice picture of a non-plain wedding dress :)

I taught Yoon Jin for an hour again today. Surprisingly, this was probably my favorite part of the school day. I really enjoy working with people one on one. This was probably the first time I really felt like I had something to offer as a teacher. She is basically fluent in English, but her accent is still heavy and she mispronounces many words. Vowel sounds, as well as the 'r' and the 'l' sound are extremely difficut for native Korean speakers. We had fun working on these sounds... she improved so much in that one lesson!

I got official approval from the principle to go to Hawaii for three weeks in December/January. They had scheduled the winter camp for the last week in December- but when I explained my situation, they instantly moved the camp to the end of January. Our principle rocks!
