Miffy Class - "Jill Teacher's" kindergarten class.

Miffy is a cartoon character, one of 10 class names. Other characters used are Snoopy, Simba, Kitty (as in Hello Kitty). Miffy is not as well known in Canada (or at least I didn't know of him) so I felt an explanation was in order!


These students started English School in February so they are at a very basic English level. There are 8 boys and 4 girls and they are adorable! Having a teaching degree for intermediate/senior students, I am still navigating my way through the "discipline challenge" associated with this age group! Thankfully my Korean Supervisor (who helps translate when they don't understand) is always nearby! They can be absolutely adorable and I often catch myself about to laugh at something they have done and quickly changing to my "discipline voice" to try to modify that behaviour!

Thankfully, bribery knows no language barrier and I came armed with hundreds of stickers for rewards! This was undoubtedly the most valuable tip I received prior to my departure from Canada. In fact, I might just have to request more from the dollar store be sent over, but I should be good for a few more months?!

Cheers!
