it's a windy day today...and children can be cruel

last night i woke up around 4am and it was windy as ever. my curtains almost flew right off and i thought my window was going to as well. maybe it wasn't as windy as i thought and it was just really early in the morning and i was paranoid.

yesterday, i encountered some bullying in my school that really got to me. sweetest little 3rd grader was walking around the halls crying because she thought she lost her backpack. it turned out that some of her classmates had taken it and put it inside the bin they use to put their umbrellas in. now, i don't know why but everyone picks on this little girl. it makes me so angry.

children can be cruel and it's unfortunate that it follows us until we die.

welcome to the show

my school is in a panic preparing for this massive open class for our school evaluation. i've been on and off busy for it since they want me to prepare some materials to go into some english portfolio. and we even have a grade 6 class to come in and dance along side me for my open class.

on another note, i made a video for christina (an american-korean who visited our school for a couple of months). i had her classmates made her some posters and a video. i hope she'll like it. i still keep in touch with her mom here and there so i'm hoping to get the posters and a copy of the video mailed to her.

it's funny, as i was editing the video and watching the kids i just noticed how incredibly cute my grade 3s are. hahaha. maybe it's because when i'm teaching them they're all rambunctious, screaming, snot-coming-out-of-their-noses, little devils (some more than others). but not having to deal with them and just watching the show is different. hehe.

yea...the kids are alright, i guess. :)
