Pepero Day - and fun pictures

Today was Pepero Day in Korea. It's pretty much the most blatantly commercial holiday I've ever heard of. Pepero is a candy, often a sort of chocolate-dipped pretzel or a waffle-cookie-tube filled with chocolate. Because 11/11 resembles five Pepero sticks, November eleventh is National Pepero Day.

I've basically been eating chocolate all day long!

Here's a photo of my PK-12 class (my smartest class) enjoying their Peperos:


All of the kids were on a crazy sugar-buzz all day.

Also, yesterday in my IC-3 class, while I was signing homework sheets, my pen ran out of ink. I said "Oh no! My pen is dying!" When I came back to class after the break, this is what I found on my wall:



Needless to say, it took quite a while for me to stop laughing... I even had the other teachers come in, and everyone got a kick out of it. Shows how important spacing is when writing :) (and how you can be a 25 year old woman in charge of small children, and still have an adolescent sense of humor!)

Finally, Friday was Sun Q's birthday. Another huge birthday feast, so I'll spare you more of the same pictures, but I had to share this one. This was during the "cut the cake with Teacher" time, and Sun Q and I were conspiring to just eat the whole thing and not share it with everyone. Love this pic:



Love you all! Keep the comments coming... there are a few people that I'm wondering if they still read the blog... (UNCLE CJ!...AHEM...)

It looks like the Panda on the Cake is rolling his eyes =).

You are such a great teacher, Em! It's obvious your kids love you! Hell, they wrote "penis" on your board! If that's not a clear sign of admiration, I don't know what it is! Ha ha ha! But seriously, if you need help making a killer "teaching in Korea" scrapbook, I will so help you. I have a sincere feeling that these children will NEVER forget Emily Teacher!!! MISS YOU!!!

Thank you Breea. CJ's family started me a scrapbook, and I've just kind of been putting random things in there that I want to keep (ticket stubs, etc). So I would love the help.
