I just got home from teaching my classes. Today was really good but I felt kind of bad for the students because the last few weeks have been some hardcore learning (for my 9-10 year olds) instead of the fun getting-to-know-you games that we spent the first couple weeks doing. I was afraid that English was starting to bore them, although they sure didn't act that way. Heck, when I assigned them extra work to do over the next week, they all said "luek!" (fun). Still, I was concerned about pushing them so hard. Anyway, I jumped online and decided to check out their class website. They have a guestbook in which the students like to chat with each other and it's proven to be a good learning tool. Imagine my surprise when I saw this post (they don't know I read the guestbook):

Long translation short, they're chatting about how good my English lessons are! Really made me feel good after a long day. :)
