It’s not as cold as it was yesterday; it 48 and the wind isn’t as cold either!

With the fifth levels we wrapped up the Christmas talk, or I thought we would, at least. First hour we didn’t get finished with talking about special holiday foods because they arrived late to the video room, so we only had about 40 minutes and hadn’t yet talked about decorations. We always finish everything in Marina’s class because she doesn’t interrupt like Rocío does. Then last hour we had finished everything and so she (Rocío) wanted to find another Christmas Carol—Sleigh Ride—the one sixth level sang at the festival last night. We sang it a couple of times, but still wanted it downloaded to sing again after we come back. Who knows? Maybe we’ll be talking about Christmas until MLK Day…

1B was doing a color review worksheet when I got there so I helped them finish it up. I would say things like “black cat” or “green frog”; it was pretty simple. They then had to color the rest of the picture. We ended by reviewing the occupational vocab; it’s still rather new, so many of them couldn’t remember the words.

We went back to the video room with 2B and I was able to use my Christmas Symbols PowerPoint! They were quite the talkers today (prolly because they were excited we had a change of scenery…that class hardly ever goes to the video room) so it took a while to get through the PowerPoint. I started talking about Christmas foods, but we only got half way through and Analen got fed up with the noise and took them back to class.

I was happy to see the toffee was polished off when I went back for the container after school, minus the several pieces I’d saved this morning for Marilu and the sixth level teachers who are in Toledo on a field trip today. Also, the festival was last night and it was really good, what I saw of it anyway; I left early. Infantil was super cute, although several of them just stood there and stared out at the crowd!

Xoxo,
