So every once-and-awhile (literally there is no method or pattern that I have found), I teach the Genius classes. These classes are groups of 4th, 5th and 6th graders from all over Yongin. They are the best and brightest English speakers at their school and thus entitled/required to come to my class. 
Those poor little souls had to bear with me last week as I blundered through a lesson that had been laid out for me. (Mind you the lesson was pre-constructed but missing some key pieces. Just like a puzzle that just isn't finished until you have that last piece. Yet they saw the bigger picture and went with it anyways.)
They went along with the oddly worded worksheets and the directionally challenged directions of the supposed "fun" games. Truly they were great sports and such charismatic kids.
It is so fun when the students feel confident in English, because it is then that their little personalities begin to shine through. It is then the English jokes come out. It is then I am corrected for my English mistakes. "Teacher teacher, wrong spelling."
Today I will teach another Genius class as well. This time I am far more prepared and the fun will be rampant! Hurray my little genii, hurray!
