It’s a tad warmer today…54 and cloudy, plus the sun has come out a few times!

I only three classes—Noelia’s grandpa is ill so she is with him. I don’t know he lives here or in another town, however. So I was able to leave early today, as I didn’t have to stick around for last hour! Second hour I went and hung out with Marilu and 6A and helped her with a few things for the festival next week.

I started off the day with Marina in 1A. After the usual numbers and such review, we introduced new occupational vocab (teacher, plumber, electrician, fire fighter, etc). Although I’m not sure what the point of that is now because the other day she told me they would just be reviewing the last two weeks before Christmas. We did a review worksheet after the new vocab and ended by practicing our colors.

Third was five-years B. We practiced their song, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, several times and watched the Christmas story about Ellie, who gives presents to all her friends. I read them the story last week. Finally they had to draw a ball, car or dolly inside the present on their worksheet; whichever one they would prefer to be gifted.

Fourth hour I was in 4B. I got there and all the kids were like “Sorry for what happened last time!” Last week Analen left to make copies and they were like wild feral children…not that it’s any different other days though. Anyway, I told Ana and then Aurora that I’d like to have my schedule changed and not go anymore and it kind of got blown out of proportion from there. Long story short, basically Analen got in trouble (I wish I would have chosen my words differently…that was the last thing I wanted to happen) from Alberto and Alejandro (whom she called ‘the dictators’) and I still have to go to that class, sit there and essentially do nothing…good times!

I did find photos of American Christmas foods yesterday. I was thinking about it and I could only think of like four or five, so I Googled it and wouldn’t you know there was a whole list on Wikipedia! They listed foods from all around the world as well, so that was interesting to see what they eat in other countries during the holidays. I’m glad I looked too because I would’ve totally forgotten staples like eggnog and candy canes!

Xoxo,
