Count-down to Christmas!
Last week my kids' parents decorated our classrooms! In 5B I have to push garland out of my way in order to open the door. In 5A twinkling Christmas lights cover half the whiteboard, which makes it difficult to do long-division, but I love the decorations! (Despite the fact that the sun's out and I change into shorts every day as soon as I get home from school....Merry Christmas?)
In preparation for our Christmas program next week, each class is learning a Christmas song. 5th grade will sing 'O Come All Ye Faithful' (which also happens to be one of my favorite Christmas songs). All week long we've been practicing at 11:00 in the auditorium--too bad we haven't had a chance to practice with the keyboard yet! Still, they manage to keep on tune (most of the time).
On Friday we don't have school, but we're giving the parents their students grades for the first Partial (quarter). Basically, it's an all-day Parent-Teacher Conference. Should be interesting!
This week the SMs chose Secret Santas! . On Monday paper snowflakes and packages of cookies covered my bed. On Tuesday one of my students told me that there was juice sitting on my desk, accompanied with a cute note. Yesterday I found a bag of cheetos and a Christmas card taped to the wall in the Teachers' lounge. Since there are only 7 of us, the hardest part is trying to do anything without another missionary seeing it! We live and work in such a close proximity! :D
Mostly, I can't believe it's December already. In 6 months I'll fly home. Talk about a weird feeling.
May God bless you this Christmas season! :D
