Winter in Russia


It's definitely winter here in St. Petersburg. The Neva and canals are full of chunks of ice. Everyone is walking around more bundled up then ever. The beautiful snow that fell last week is, unfortunately, slushy and muddy. The other day all of it froze and created ice everywhere, we were all tiptoeing down the sidewalks. By some miracle I still haven't fallen on it yet! Slipped quite a few times though.

Teaching is getting easier and harder at the same time. I'm used to planning, but it seems like after the week vacation the kids had, no one wants to pay attention. Still haven't put up pics of the kids I teach, sorry about that, forgot I had some :) These aren't all the kids, usually one or two aren't in class, but you'll get an idea of their personalities I think:

Level 5: Axel, Danya, Stacey, Ilya, Liza

Level 3- Peter, Ilya, Zhenya, Mazim, Vova, and Bogdan
