My Favorites...

Name: Ruby (left)

American Age: 7

Years at ECC: 3

Highlights:

1. She is proud of her “recorder” looking instrument in her hand. She serenaded us in the teachers room

2. While I am teaching a lesson, she’ll feel the urge to come to the front of the room, do the splits…. And go sit back down

3. Her pencil case is a fuzzy lion with red all over its face b/c she puts “lipstick” aka red pencil all over its face during my lesson… oh and the fuzzy lion has an opening in it’s butthole for children to stick the pencils through if they’re too lazy to open the zipper.

4. She tries to use her smile to avoid answering questions but I’m not phased by her cuteness ... most of the time

5. She’s really good at air jumping rope in place

Name: Alice (right)

American Age: 7

Years at ECC: 4

Highlights:

1. She gives me hand massages during class

2. We have snorting wars

3. She has a band aide on her cheek like Nelly because apparently a glue gun attacked her

4. She thinks she’s fat so she jumps rope everyday

5. She checked out a book titled “The Best Teacher Ever” so she could read it and then tell her Korean elementary school teacher how he could be the best.

6. She asked me “Meghan Teacher, why don’t you have blue eyes because you’re American person and American person has blue eyes?” … I said I was Korean and stupidly tried to explain adoption.. then she said “You must’ve studied English a lot because you’re a good speaker”

If they're not at ECC next Tuesday... it's because they're in my suitcase :)
