I am the English Teacher of the 4th Grade Class at Mars Hill (a school run by Hope International Schools). I have 8 students - 4 boys and 4 girls. One girl didn't want to be in the video . . . she was a little camera shy :-). I will post pictures of each later. I love my students. They are totally kids and not always doing exactly what I ask but I guess that's part of being a kid. It's also a challenge when I barely speak Thai and they are trying so hard to tell me something. They are doing really well though with 2 and 1/2 days of ALL English a week!!! They warm my heart and I can't wait to spend the whole year working with them. There will be tough times for sure (I already have had a couple ;) but it will be SO worth it. All the kids from our school come from foster homes or orphanages that they call children's homes (where they have House Parents). All the students have their own unique personalities, backgrounds, etc. I love it, I love it, I love it. Remind me I said that once I come back and say I had a really bad day at school! :-) Okay, with no further ado . . . "Hello America" is a little fuzzy but I took it the first day I taught and I think the light behind doesn't help. There will be MANY more stories/pictures/videos to come of them all. :-)
