Correne's Class

Hello, hello! This is my homeroom class. I see them everyday from 9:40am until 11am for class and I also serve them lunch at 12:40pm.

I will introduce from the top row, left to right!

Julie, Leo, Donald, Rob, Sabina, Alice YR, Ellen and Grace.

We were missing one student today. Her name is Alice JE. I think she went camping for the weekend so she was absent today.

They are a great class and from what I hear fom other preschool teachers, I am pretty lucky. Donald is a little trouble maker and I bet you can tell that from looking at him! Julie is very sweet, but she has a lot of trouble reading. Ellen is quiet, but brilliant. Sabina is very very shy, but I'm working on it. Leo is extremely introverted and he never smiles (you can even see that in the picture). He looks miserable all the time, but whenever I ask him "how are you today?" he says that he is super happy, so I don't really know what to do. Grace is a sweet girl and her writing is great! Alice YR works hard and her printing skills are all very good.

I have a lot of fun with them. It's amazing how smart they are. They know more of two languages then I do, so for that I admire them. They are all 6 years old (Korean age... which makes them 5 in Canadian age). They are at school five days a week from 9:40 am until 2:20 pm. They spend the whole time learning English and they are not allowed to speak Korean at school at any time!

Lunch time with them is both trying and a blast. Korean table manners leave much to be desired so I spend a lot of time reminding them to chew with their mouths closed (which is not a common practice among ANY Koreans). I also work on their pleases and thank yous. But its fun to have a stress free hour in which I just enjoy my lunch with some great kids.

That's it for that class. Paul will be doing a blog sometime soon about his classes as well. I hope to update with my 11:20 am class because you will all know why I've come back home with premature grey hairs!!!

I hope this blog finds everyone well. Please email us and let us know how you are doing.

Peace and Love!
