We learned many things last ye-ar, there's so many things we know.
Our tea-cher taught us last year, so now it is time to go!
Oo-oh! At SLP! .... I gro-ow up! ....
Now I can SPEAK! Now I can READ! Now I can WRIIIIIIIITE!
Now I can sing a lot of songs, and I can make a lot of friends; Listen to me! I have a sto-ry! In SLP!!!

It was cute. And I got to teach them cha-cha dance moves, so that was fun. But even MORE fun was Mars class' song. I didn't teach them so I wasn't supposed to pick, but the other teachers weren't sure what to do - and since I taught them to sing every 60s pop song I know... I helped them re-write Do Wah Diddy to be about graduating and going to elementary school. I didn't mind because it's no secret that I liked Mars class better. (Don't feel bad or judge me - Libra class were the ones that BIT each other!!!! read my posts from November.) Anyway, I knew that the kids loved Do Wah Diddy because we sang it every week in Music, and listened to it every day at lunch - so it was a sure hit:
For one year I have come to SLP; Singing Do Wah Diddy-Diddy dum Diddy do!
I have learned to write and I have learned to read; Singing Do Wah Diddy-Diddy dum Diddy do!
English! (English!) Is fun! (Is fun!) English is fun, and the fun has just begun!I have learned to write and I have learned to read; Singing Do Wah Diddy-Diddy dum Diddy do!
The students seemed to have a lot of fun singing it, which was the main point anyway. Of course, no ceremony is complete at SLP without all the pomp and circumstance.... LITERALLY! The preschool completion certificates! (Well technically I had to sign 17 because one parent sent it back to school because she didn't like how Kimberly and I wrote our names... she thought it was too faint. ?!) At the end of the ceremony all of the teachers went on stage and spoke about their classes. Some of the teachers who have been hear a year got pretty emotional ... I just told my kids to always have fun, to never lose their imaginations (something Korean kids are SEVERELY lacking in my opinion) and when things got tough; to always remember to just "Hang Loose" and kids wore velvet caps and gowns and walked the stage receiving diplomas! I had to sign 16 say "No Worries!" .... then I told them 'hasta luego' ... like we said at the end of every day. :) If I accomplish anything while I am a teacher, it will be that my kids HAVE FUN and have a sense of humor about themselves. Being able to laugh at my troubles has saved me more than anything else I ever learned at school.
I have had new students for the past week at work. And I have to say, I've missed the old ones a lot! But more about that next time, in a few days. This post is already pretty long.
Young Seo, Bo Hyun, and Min Jeong - They look so grown up!
PS: Thanks so much to those who have sent their prayers and support for Will. It really means a lot. XOXO

Yeay!
Your kids look adorable! And thanks for the offer. We're trying to square away furniture right now. We kinda have to steam clean the couch... Julie used it as her "workspace" whenever she wasn't just vegged out on the left arm. :-/ anger.
