Children Will Listen.

Oh man. I am exhausted... I didn't realize how hard teaching kids could be! Imagine teaching insane, very hyper, don't want to be in school children. And then think of teaching them when they don't understand a word you're saying! Yeah. It's hard. I have 2 classes. My first class is called Basic Reading. Basically, I'm supposed to help these kids understand letters and words and how to sound them out. I have this class 3 times a week, 2 HOURS AT A TIME! How am I going to do it? It's seriously going to be so hard. It's only day 2 and I'm totally panicking but it'll work out. The kids are really cute so that helps. I have 9 students in that class; Manya, Vanya, Danya, Matveai (Matt Vee aye), Vovo, Via, Alesa, Leeza, and Anastascia. Matveai is always trying to kiss me or hug me, so I have to be pretty stern with him. Alesa is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Vovo is a terror but I actually really like him. Manya, Vanya, and Danya are SO hard to keep track of. Obviously. Hahah Via, Alesa, and Leeza are best friends and are always holding hands. And Anastascia... Oh, what am I going to do with her? She's always pulling on me or asking me for things, loudly above everyone else. She's a challenge, but it'll be all right :)

Alesa is SO stinkin' cute! Leesa is sitting behind her. 


This was so cute. Vanya made me a hamburger. He's adorable. 

I told the girls that it was time to clean and up and when I came back to the table, they had all left these in the corner and said, "For you!" What a cute little feast. I couldn't even be mad at them for mixing my play-dough :)

My second class is at a Private school, so these kids have very rich parents. Who are very particular about how their kids are taught and how the teachers dress. Which is understandable but very stressful on my part. I teach that class three times a week in the morning. I'm stressing about it tomorrow because I have to teach in front of the Principal of ALL the private schools. Serenity now. But the kids there are cute too, so it should be fine. There's 7 kids, I hope I can remember all of their names... Zehran, Vlad, Andrew, Mark, Vayria, Polina, and Mark. Hooray!
Teacher Marci and Zehran, he's SO cute!

Teacher Andrew and Nikita. He has such a great smile :)



These foam things were the worst thing in the world to have in our room. The kids were going crazy in it. 

Well, hopefully the Private school principal hasn't killed me by tomorrow. Goodnight! Or Good Morning... The time change is kicking my trash. See ya!
