Children's and Teacher's Day

Well, better late than never, as they say...

May 5 was Children's Day in Korea. It's a public holiday here and my school celebrated it 2 days before by having activities all day at a park. It was lots of fun. All of the students and their parents attended and we had obstacle courses, relay races and, of course, dancing to Korean pop songs!

Then, on May 15 it was Teacher's Day. Unfortunately it's not a public holiday, but it was a lot of fun. The best part for me was the cards that the students made for us. They were so cute, here are pictures of some of them:
















This one cracked me up. Bella was one of the naughtier students in my homeroom, so I wasn't sure if she was saying I was tired because of her or that I really am tired! Both were sometimes true...































One that is open to your interpretation: is Lucy writing 'Teacher' or 'To Cher'??? I'm still not sure...

Glad to hear there are rewarding days that balance out the very trying ones. The level of writing and English varies, are the letters
from different age groups? I'm sure
they all love you. Have fun and enjoy it all, you will have some
incredible memories.

Those are very cute! They seem to write better than some native English speakers at that age. You must be teaching them well.
