Rally Day

On Friday’s we have all the kids go into the lunchroom area and we do chants and songs. Picture me in front of a group of like 30-50 kindergarteners singing our school theme song set to the music from the Adam’s Family. You think I’m making this up right? Nope, the truth is stranger than fiction sometimes my friends. :-)

Anyway, this rally was special because it was the end of teacher Nancy’s first week of classes. So the director introduced her to each of the rally classes. Oh, I forgot to mention it’s a new group of students each hour for four hours. So some of the pictures are from the rally and a few remaining pictures are students from a new speaking class I am teaching. Most of the students in the pictures I know by name now and I’m starting to get to know their personalities a bit. I’ll try to name them below if I can remember. Sometimes their names still slip away from me! Maybe I am a bad teacher! hahaha.

ChristinaThis is Christina. I don’t have her in classes anymore but see her at rally. She is just starting to develop her English skills but she’s always fun and has a great attitude.
Jennifer and BettyJennifer and Betty. Jennifer has some pretty pinchable cheeks but her sister Julie has cheeks that just beg to be pinched.
Lion and his prizeLion is also one of my students. He’s holding a prize he got for being a “Super Student”. It’s basically an award the students get if they get so many star stamps in their books. Lion can be frustrating, but he’s still a good kid, I think…
rally classFront to back: Ellie, Evelyn, Sally and Celina. Tim is on the back left. Most days I’d pretty much like to strangle him. Michael is on the back right. He can be loud, but he’s a pretty good student.
Cathy the directorCathy, the director of I Kids’ Park English school.
WinnieThis is Winnie. Her dream is to be a professional piano player, and from the looks of it, to win a Hapkido death match. :-) I love having her in class.
