A few more things

After lunch I had to take my students upstairs to get their health check. A blood test is part of it, so some of the students were really scared. I felt so sorry for them. The bravest of the group turned out to be Cherry, who went first and didn't complain even after the phleb couldn't find a vein until the third try.

Cherry

The other option for the song is, Why does the sun shine. I think dad and mary will appreciate this one.

What a relief

Jeonju city is paying for 150 of its best students to come to camp. 450 students applied, but only the best were accepted based on their exam score. All my students are from this group. They are wonderful. They listen to me. They use their brains. Today was the first day since coming here that I actually enjoyed teaching.

This is my room.

We have to do a song, dance, or skit during the final week of camp. One of my students suggested the song yellow lemon tree. I think it is a great idea. Here's a link to a video of it.

New motivation

I've made a sheet for the middle school kids to translate into English. Whoever can do it without any mistakes gets this. It's about $10. I think most won't get past the first one, "Where are you going?"

These kids have problems

I had to stop a kid in my 3rd grade class from eating a rubber band today. Five minutes later I caught him eating his notebook paper. His chances of ever learning English are pretty slim.
