My Students

Here is one of my classes (sorry about the blurry part, I think there was chalk dust on my lens). Each class has about 70 students, and I have 20 different classes a week so I don't think there is a prayer that I will remember all of their names. They all LOVE pictures. Sometimes, when I am standing outside the classroom they will sneak pictures of me on their camera phones, and when I see them do this I make one of them come stand by me so I don't feel like a doofus... then the whole class is there and golly gee they don't really believe in personal space in this country because they all nearly trample me trying to fit into the picture. It reminds me of the kids in Mexico that always loved to have us takes millions of pictures of them.

 

I have a favor to ask of all of you. If you have contact with any sort of high school aged student, I would really LOVE to start a sort of pen pal email type thing. Like I said earlier, I have a mass quantity of students... so, I don't know if it will happen but I want to email some Chinese teachers at my brother's and sister's schools and see if I can enlist their classes. It would be really simple. If you send me their email addresses, I would give them to my Chinese student (or students if they are willing to write more than one) and then they could email them as much or as little as they want. I would only have girls email girls, and boys email boys (I have been thinking a lot about this, and that seems best). So, if  any of you have any sort of contact with any high school aged kids, I would love your help! Email me (kristalthepistol@gmail.com) or leave a comment!
