I LOVE my kids

I just have to put in a little note about my class--they are SO cute. I have five girls and five boys. They are all so sweet. I know I talked about them before, but AH! Especially my boys. I will miss all of my boys. My Kostia is so great; he speaks such good English and is always telling the other kids to stop speaking Russian. We've been doing a points system where they can earn up to five per day, and whoever has the most at the end gets a surprise (probably cupcakes or something). Even if my class doesn't win, though, I sort of want to sneak them a surprise, because I just LOVE them. They are pretty good at listening to me, and we have so much fun together. They are trying so hard to speak English and it makes me so happy. They struggle a bit, but help each other and work together. Vlad, Dimitri, Kostia, Yuriy, Dimitri, Ann, Maria, Julia, Ann, and Zhenna--love them!
