My little Cooper

I love so many of my kids I have a lot of favorites. They are just too darn cute to pick one but if I could take one of them home it would be my little Cooper. Cooper is my buddy he calls me that everyday (mainly because they parrot everything you say but that is beside the point). Cooper is one of the morning kindergarten students so I get to start my day with him everyday. We sit on little mats during opening and I always sit by him. We have a little game where I tickle his feet or play with his hair and he does the same to me. My favorite is a brush of the cheek or a pat on the back cause he is just adorable when he does it to me. Cooper is kind of a trouble maker sometimes and he likes to bowl people over a lot. A common phrase heard in class is teacher Cooper hurt me. I don't like sending him to the secretaries though, but I have had to a couple of times in PE which was so sad. I hope his parents don't mind that I'm bringing him home with me.

The beginning of my blog

well I'm very new to this whole blog thing so here goes. Right now I am living in Taiwan teaching English to cute little kindergartners and first graders. I am loving it here in Taiwan. My goal in teaching is to learn more patience for kids and to become a better teacher both things are hard for me. I am learning about the many cultural differences here it is kinda fun. The people here are so friendly and helpful. There have been many times that I have felt like a celebrity because people are always looking at me and want to talk and take their picture with me it is fun I like it. I have been here for a little over 2 months now and feel like I am kind of starting to get the hang of teaching but still have a long ways to go. I will probably feel comfortable with it by the time I'm ready to go home. I guess I will just have as much fun as I can in the process of learning how to teach.
