She was very excited about this and the class wrote such cute letters to him.
When I found out that he was going to be home before school got out for the year, I asked him if he would be willing to go in and talk to the class. He said he would and today was the day.
I didn't tell Halle because I wanted to surprise her. She had been asking me all weekend if Andy could come to her class and I kept brushing it off with my standard
"we'll see" answer.
Here she is when she came in from recess and saw Andy in her classroom:
Andy did a little talk and then let the kids ask him questions. They were surprisingly quiet- I thought they would have tons of questions. They did ask a few and then the teacher put some of the pictures that Andy brought along up on the screen so he could explain them to them.
The kids really liked it and at the end Andy gave them all a coin from Korea to take home. He did a really good job and I was proud!

How awesome is that! I would have loved to see her face when she first saw him! That was so sweet of Andy to do!
I can imagine how thrilled Halle was to see him!! I looks like he did a great job!
It was fun! Andy enjoyed it too. Martha said the first thing Lydia said when she came home was - "I have money from Korea!" I'm about to put up a post on the same thing.
