Ryan is a sweetheart. He comes into class everyday with a smile and gives the best hugs. He really just holds on tight. As my friend put it, "his hug warms you up, like the sun shining from both sides".
Aaron is a little genius. He is very sweet, very shy, he doesn't smile very much, but you can see him thinking a lot. He really takes his role as class leader very seriously.
Next is Sarah. Sarah is very shy and quiet, but very cute. She just cries a lot in class because she misses her mommy, so she is allowed to go outside and just stare at a picture of her. It seems to work well.
Linsey is the little ballerina from an earlier post. She went to school in Portland, and later in Australia, so she speaks english quite well. And she will use it. She is constantly talking and singing. And walking around the classroom. If there is a conflict between some students, and they are only speaking Korean, she translates for me. It's pretty funny.
Lonnie is the wild child of the class. He does not sit still, he does not listen, he makes faces all the time, and he does not follow directions. I have my death stare down pat because of this kid. Whenever he starts going crazy, I say his name and stare and him and he just sits quietly. It will be an interesting year with him.
Charlie is.... special. He is very big. He is about 5 years old but looks 7. He should be a football player when he grows up. But the poor kid is just not very quick. But he tries. And that's all that matters. When he is confused in class, he gives me a funny little tilt to the side, like a puppy, and says "huh?". He's just very squishy and lovable.
Candy will be my challenge this year. She is cute, gorgeous, smart, and she knows it. Last year she convinced all the girls in her class to cut holes in their skirts. Candy is the ringleader.
Ashley is the blonde of the classroom. Very cute and happy all the time. She sings to herself and often giggles out of nowhere. It's very entertaining to just watch her. But she does all of her work so I'm happy with that.
June is the last boy of the class. I don't have an individual picture of him yet. He is very sweet, and very cute. (They are all cute!!). Every morning he greets me with a smile, and when I play songs in class or read stories, he gets so into them. He laughs when the weasel goes POP, and is sad when humpty dumpty falls off the wall. He is a riot.
Individually, these kids are very unique and loving. But together, it turns into a crazy, hilarious, fun, and tiresome mad house. They definitely keep me on my toes.
Last, but not least, is Bill. Bill is not my student, but I got to know him while I was observing a class. He is very sweet, and gives great hugs. He scratches your back when he hugs, and sighs. It's precious. If I am having a rough day, Bill knows. He runs up to me and hugs me and tells me he loves me. It's great. His sister, Hilary, is not very nice I hear. ( I can't make this stuff up...Bill and Hilary)
