A few days back, the Harrington Times presented a list of reasons that Melissa Teacher will be missing her co-workers and students at Bongam Elementary school. Having presented her final lessons to the students of Seongchon via a Dear Diary activity and summer camp activities ranging from a lesson on animals, hobbies and ice cream sundaes, the end has finally arrived. Before moving into a middle school setting, Melissa Teacher has taken another moment to jot down some favorite memories and lessons from her year at Seongchon Elementary School:

• Paris Baguette Hamburgers with primary co-teacher Miyeong.
• First day teaching jitters and eager faces of my first students in South Korea.
• Opportunity to teach phonics and develop a teaching style for phonics
• Leading games, games and more games
• Reading about Doggy Poo
• 5th grade students committed to teaching Melissa Teacher their names (Korean AND English)
• Afternoon hikes and melt your mouth spicy squid, octopus and bean sprouts
• Winter Camp and freezing toes
• Peppero Day
• From Head to Toe - Open Class
• Sex Iron Tiger - co-workers with a sense of humor and dose of boldness
• A relaxing, non-stressful summer camp
