Student Art

Hello, everyone! K, here. In putting together a scrapbook of art J has brought home from his kiddos this last weekend, and some pictures I've been drawn, I thought it might make the perfect post to end the week. So this entry will be photo heavy and text light, but I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did!

This picture was taken of the white board after a class where the kindergartners decided to practice the alphabet of their own volition. Keep in mind these kiddos barely have the fine motor skills to write in their own language. Why half of the letters are backward I have no idea, but that and the extra lines on the F's just melt my heart!

With love from some of J's students after English camp last summer, after he won their affection by learning a Kpop dance that ended in this pose.

This one more or less speaks for itself. I love how house-wifey they think I look, and that apparently I rank up there with ice cream.

This one is from a girl we call J's daughter. She adores him and likes to leave him cute little post-its like this one. Apparently the kids like how he says the words "interesting" and "amazing."

And finally, this was a year end letter from a handful of J's biggest fans... I mean students. The are a bit hard to read so I'll transcribe here. The top says "I love you Jamie. I'll miss you. Your so handsome. You're best teacher in my life. I love you." Then there's "teacher, your so kind and cute always smile of me and looks so tired. I'm worried about please cheer up and I love you thanks Jamie <3" on the bottom left. Finally we have "Teacher, you are my best native teacher. I can't forget you forever" on the bottom right. this is just half of one side of a paper covered in such notes from his 3rd graders as they graduated middle school last year.

As you can tell, and as I am reminded by the screaming students when they pass J on the street, he is a very well loved teacher! It's a lot of fun for me to comb over their work, and I hope you enjoyed this little sampling too.

Cheers!
