Crazy Kinders.

My usual work day consists of between 3-6 classes. One of the those classes is actually the same length as 4 classes. Oh my favorite - the Kindergarteners.

There are three of these crazy girls. I know, three doesn't sound like it's a lot, but they are such a handful!

The first day of meeting them with the old teacher was interesting. Korean children have an odd tendency of asking you the most personal questions!

We were playing a favorite game of theirs - 'Flashcard Go Fish.' The rules are the same as Go Fish, but they use flashcards to stimulate conversation.

The flashcards they were using included locations in the house. So they were asking questions like "Do you brush your teeth in the bathroom?" or "Do you cook in your kitchen?"

In order to begin my relationship with these sily girls I played a game the game with them. Then questions like "do you have a boyfriend in the living room?" came up. I leave the questions there - they became much more personal after than - if I blushed, my face would have turned bright red.

Beth, Gloria, and Lisa. Crazy Kindergarteners.

All the girls have been studying English for two years - thus the reason why I only have three of them.

Beth is the best English speaker. She's better than ANY of the students I have - even in my highest level classes. She loves reading and she always forgets stuff at home. She eats so much! (We have lunch time where the kids eat rice, soup, and other stuff. They bring their own spoons and chopsticks and they brush their teeth after lunch! So cute!)

Gloria is the most active out of the three. She goes crazy when she plays! She eats fast.

Lisa is the youngest. She so cute! She is my favorite (even though I shouldn't have favorites) - I think because the other girls pick on her sometimes because she's younger. She just started the program at this English school so she doesn't have many friends. She doesn't eat anything!

They're a handful. They're so smart. They're really cute. They're a pain in the a**.
