Goodbye my students!

Welp, my third and final SLP Graduation took place at the end of last month. The kids practiced really hard for many weeks. I was asked to MC it again with my Korean supervisor, Robin. The ceremony used to be held in a church very close to our school. This year, we had to drive out to a large banquet-like hall outside of town. It was sooo much better. The scenery, layout, and location were perfect. We were even served lunch after the ceremony in the same building. I really had a great time with teachers, parents, and students this day. I won't forget it :D

Practicing for the grand finale. I teared up quite a few times during these rehearsals. 

 "I like your smile, I like your eyes. You and I belong together, you and I we're too good to be true..." The teachers found a lot of pleasure singing these creepy lyrics to each other :)

Teachers... and Justin... who we had to pick up before the ceremony. He was surprised to see all of us.

Snack time!

Families. 

First up, Giraffe and Jaguar classes. 

Then, Alligator and Elephant classes.

And finally, the little cuties: Deer class.

Yes... I took selfies while we were speaking ;)

Robin and I did NOT plan on matching.

The finale!

Then the teachers made their way up. 

Sooooo many pictures. 

Congrats graduates! Teacher Daniel and his Alligator class.

My Elephant class. 

They look so grown up! :(

My favorites, Giraffe Class. 

I love this.

I want to keep them forever.

Successful day means time for lunch!

I asked Thomas to take a picture... then he just started taking selfies. 

Teacher Katie and I. We made it!

Bibimbap lunch, yum yum! 

Daniel, tongue! Ugh. 

My boys :)

So handsome. And goofy. 

I had a date... to a Kindergarten graduation ceremony. We suave. 

After school meant celebratory churros! Kat is cute!

I'm so happy. 

Then, there is this. 

He's a softy on the inside though. 

Graduation flowers from Tia and Eric. 

Last stop, Koomas! Some kind of mollusk pasta...

That you mix with your hand. Look how glorious Kat is... movie star! 

Danielllll!

I bought that Arkansas sweatshirt in Korea. Fun right?

Let's put glasses on Thomas... 

And make him a hipster!
