June 29, Clap for Me

My mom recently sent me security footage of a deer wandering through the front yard. The sixth graders guessed all kinds of animals before I played the video, not excluding tiger, rabbit, and snake.

They were amazed, and even more amused, when I revealed that my mom was angry at the deer for eating her flowers. They got a kick out of that.

I heard cries of 사슴 and was curious. “Is this how you spell deer?” I asked, writing 사슴 on the board.

They all clapped.

“Thank you, but is this right?”

There was no answer so I assumed the applause spoke for itself. Easily impressed! I did a curtsy, made all the better by the fact I was wearing a skirt.

6-2 can always be counted on for a boost.
