Not much...

Tuesday May 4th
3 Months at ECC. Wow. The time is flying faster and faster. It is actually scary. I am 1/4 done with my contract.
Today... well I was afraid I would be taking over Robs class. I did not do that today, so that will start next week. I also thought I would be going to the FC Seoul soccer game this week, but that too is next week.
Julie in France cried today. I was surprised because it is rare for her to. She did not put a book away when I told her to, and then I did a countdown and she was not back in her seat when I reached 0. So I erased a star. She wept. I silent weeping. She did not argue or anything else. She realized she did something wrong... she was still sad. Emily in my Australia class also wept. She did not understand an answer (that was written on the board). The answer was 3 fill in the blanks. So I wrote all 3 on the board vertically. She wrote the first and second one in the first spot and the third one in the second spot. So she did not have all 3 filled in. So tears came. Also in Australia Jack was not back today. His mom will send him back next week. I spoke more to Christina about it, and neither of us had seen him unhappy or not playing with others...
For my afternoon Canada, Chloe asked me why I am so nice before class and in class I have to yell. I told her "it is because we have so many students that do not pay attention, that get out of their seats, that talk, that draw... I told her that if all of the students were like her, I would always be happy"... I also not teach them as soon as they get to ECC, which means Ronnie watches over the class because there are known trouble makers. It makes it very stressful. Half the class is good, the other half is bad. Crazy first graders. Their antics are becoming worse and more frustrating. I'm not sure why...
Korea class was Korea class.  Not much to say about them.
Rob Sarah and I got Pizza School for dinner. We played a game of Settlers. Ama watched us for a little then Hudson and Taylor.
I was going to type more, but it is already after midnight.... wow... where is time going.
Only one more day of school left, then a 4 day weekend. I'd love to say I need it, but I really dont. Id much rather have a 3 day weekend and then another 3 day weekend later. Oh well.
