I have a camera again!

Some photos of my students, mostly.

The adorable grade 3 girls. I love my grade 3/4 class. Lacking Emma (beautiful tomboy), a couple of boys, and the two grade 4 girls who are also lovely but painfully shy. Something seems to happen to them between grade 3 and 4 whereby the girls become extremely self-conscious.

Favourite students #1 and 2, not ranked in any order: Jin Hee and Son Hee. Twins. Geniuses. Poor Son Hee got clocked in the face during some rough-housing which I lacked the language to ever fully understand the details of.

#3. Dragon Man (his choice). Reminds me of River Phoenix in Stand By Me: good looking, muscular, a natural leader. Was a problem student until I appointed him my deputy in charge of smacking the boys into line. One of only two boys in my grade 1/2 class with any interest in English.

Grade two kids in costume dress rehearsal for a school play. They spent about fifteen minutes sneaking up to me then running away squealing when I pointed the camera at them, then decided they wanted to get their pictures taken.

Trouble: 1-2-3. Far right is Wolf, the other boy in my grade 1/2 class who is worth a damn, and two kids I don't teach. But I really like this photo.

Favourite student #4. And possibly my absolute favourite. Yeti (god knows who named her). Just like how she looks - really smart, sweet, happy, sensitive, funny, serious. Likes jumps, hitting me and laughing, and teaching me Korean. Drew a picture of me, which is on my fridge.

The grade 6 girls are too cool to pose for photographs, unfortunately.

Elizabeth, me, a French-Canadian girl whose name I forget, and Stella. Elizabeth and Stella are two of my best Gyeongbuk friends. Enjoying the Autumn on our hiking cultural experience trip last weekend.
