The new school semester has started and with it has come a whole new set of challenges, exciting experiences, and funny comments. Today, I'm going to summarize some of my favorites!
Me: "What did you do over winter vacation?"
Students: "I make a sandwich."; "I watch (the movie) Ninja Assassin. Rain (the Korean actor) is world star."; "I fought with my brother";
Me: "If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?"
Student: "Home"
Me: "What makes you mad? Why?"
Students: "It makes me mad in Chinese characters (a class they have to take), because of the mouse smell"; "It makes me mad when I eat fish because it is not delicious. It smells bad"; "It makes me mad when it rains because the car splashes me" (yes it was raining that day); "Couples make me mad becuase I am lonely" (coming from a middle school student); "It makes me mad when I play games becuase the computer is slow"; "It makes me mad when I play computer games, because my character dies"
Co-teacher: "Did you eat breakfast this morning?"
Me: "Yes"
Co-teacher: "Did you have a sandwich?"
Me: "No, did you?"
Co-teacher: "Well no, but I'm Korean."
I'm not sure why Koreans always think foriegners eat sandwiches.....
It was well into my second week of school before we had a semester schedule. They didn't even make it until after school had started.
I'm teaching 3rd grade (equivalent of 9th grade) three times a week. I'm not sure who will get tired of the other first.
I have some really great 1st graders (equivalent of 7th graders). They will be a blast to teach!
These are my observations so far from my semester! My students seem to always make me laugh :) which makes me job so much fun.
I hope you are all doing well. Love and miss you!
