I just thought I’d do a quick update about some funny things kids have said to me lately. At an English camp I volunteered at for elementary school kids, the students in my group were asking the volunteers questions about their home countries. Here’s how one conversation went: Student: I heard there are many fat…

They did it again
Ok, so I’ve posted about student art before (here and here), the latter being the same art project as this post, just last year’s version. So this might be overkill and I am sure a lot of people don’t care about papier-mâché animals. If that’s you then…don’t read this post! Basically, I am constantly impressed by…
Those charmers
My Japanese students often compliment me, and it’s quite cute, especially because of their small mistakes in English. So here is a list of my favorites: Today during writing time in an English class the students were supposed to write about their past, present, and future.

April newsletter
This month’s newsletter is a little late due to the fact that Raymond (the artist behind our masterpiece) had a REAL graphic design deadline this month. Sadly the newsletter is not his top priority in his art world. Boo hoo! (You might also notice that the topic of Easter is a little bit untimely since…
The new school
It’s a new term which means I started at a new school. Before I get into the pictures, I wanted to share these hilarious comments a student made yesterday. I was eating lunch with the kids and I was sitting next to a particularly hilarious boy. We’ll call him Boy A. He mostly was talking…
