I was doing cut-out Santas today with seven 5th grade boys. They’re a rowdy bunch, so I got a little suspicious when everyone quieted down and started whispering. It was like the telephone game, where one boys whispered something to another, who passed it on to the boy next to him, who passed it on to the boy next to him. The funny thing was, I wouldn’t understand what they were saying anyway, because I don’t understand that much Korean. I was a little bummed out at first, thinking that a bunch of 5th graders didn’t think I was cool enough to let me in on their secret. I finally found out what the "secret" was at the end of class. All the boys said, "Ready? Hana, deul, set…" (1, 2, 3 in Korean)…………. "Merry Christmas, Teacher!" It was really cool and made my day. Maybe I’m just easily impressed!
