My favorite class of the semester...not sure what the guy to the right of me is up too.
One of my best students attempt at a portrait. Much better than I could ever do.
One of my other good classes. John is pretty excited about that bucket full of candy.
Three students in my friend Liz's favorite class.
Not sure if he did that to himself or had it done to him. He looks pretty good either way.
I'd been meaning to take pictures of my students since the first day of class and finally had a good excuse to do so the final day of the semester. Some highlights here, though none can convey some of the hilarious things that come out of their mouths.
At the end of last semester my head teacher and I took our 25 best students on a trip to the local bowling alley and then to an early dinner. Most of the kids had never bowled before, or been on a field trip with two Americans (neither of whom can bowl particularly well). It was a pretty hilarious afternoon. Cheers and cell phone pictures after one of our better students avoided the gutters. 
Getting the 6th grade girls excited about bowling wasn't impossible. Getting most of them to play with the boys was. 
Becky offering guidance of a sort. 
Eventually we lost the girls' attention to their cell phones, most of which get live TV. 
A big BBQ dinner afterward. It was a lot of fun to let these young kids work the grills, jobs we were sure their parents usually handled (not unjustifiably).
