Ending off Teacher's Day

After Paju, we went to Bucheon and hung out at a hoff. I didn't drink a drop of alcohol (I was still recovering from my Enteritis). So everytime everyone else drank, I drank my water!

Trip to Paju with 6th Grade teachers

On Friday, May 15 2009 the teachers got to go home early because it was Teacher's Day. So the 6th Grade staff traveled to Paju (near the Korean border). Our former principal moved there, so we went to visit him. We had dinner together, with *delicious* food. It was the first time I was eating out since I'd been ill~

Happy Teacher's Day (2009)

On Friday, May 15 2009 it was TEACHER'S DAY. There was a ceremony in the morning and the little girl scouts came and pinned carnations on all the non-homeroom teachers (like myself).

Free cake for teachers!

There's a cafe I go to sometimes in my area called "Papaya". On Thursday, May 14 2009 I went there after school with a teacher friend. The couple who own it gave us this slice of cake for free because we're teachers and ... the following day, it was going to be "Teacher's Day"

Teacher's Day

Today was Teacher's Day in Korea. I will upload a photo tomorrow of what I received today. My Special Needs class gave me a gift of candy & a carnation, one of my top 6th grade students gave me something that looks like a prize badge with a chocolate, my kindergarten kids each gave me a heart-shaped letter, and I got the sweetest letter from a 3rd grade girl - each line was written in a different colour. My co-teacher translated it for me:

Dear Sheetal Teacher

I'm Ji Su. Today is Teacher's Day. I want to say thank you for teaching us English so well. I am very happy to come to your class to learn English. I liked you from the first class and I think you have a very nice smile. But - I'm sorry that sometimes we don't listen to you and we make noise. I promise, from now one we will study English and be good. I love you as much as the sky and the earth is wide.

Love, Ji Su
