I don’t know why exactly, but I love this picture that my first-grade student Eun-ji made for me. She wrote 제목: 공룡액자 in upper left and bottom center. It means “Title: Dinosaur Picture,” roughly. She wrote my name, 왜제렏 (my own prefered transliteration), but then appeared to have second thoughts and crossed it out (or else maybe she experienced the vandalism of one of her peers?), and wrote 선생님께 (to teacher) instead.
And here is a picture of the sixth grade town-building class. These are five girls who refuse to leave – the picture was taken 20 minutes after the end of class, and they’re still messing around with arranging things in the town, discussing things they want to do, decorating their houses and businesses, etc.
