My Favourite Class

Since we're down to only twelve teaching days left, I've started taking pictures of some of my classes.


This is my favourite class. It used to be larger, but during summer vacation, some of them left. Now we're down to these three girls, all 11 or 12 years old.

Beth, Jenny, and Kate


Beth is the quiet one, Jenny is the giggly one, and Kate is the most talkative one.


They're all really smart and speak English very well, and they're a lot of fun. They like to learn, and even enjoy reading the novels in class. They also love talking to me in English, so we spend half the class just talking.


Because they're at a more advanced level, I'm able to do more with them than just "repeat after me." Earlier in the year, I taught them cursive writing, so now Jenny tries to read anything I have that is written in cursive. She does quite well considering my handwriting isn't always the easiest to read. They also help translate things for me.


This week they taught me origami. They helped me make a crane. Mine's the one in the middle.



I will be sad to leave this class.

Hey Ru, Does your crane have a bit of a limp? Poor little guy.

Maybe your girls would like to be exchange students and live in Canada for a year. You could always board them.

Lovely girls! You will miss them.
