So the past two days have been a blur! The kids are very excited about Christmas and then we have had many interruptions... Conference with the Principal to discuss the classes Academic Progress, Chorus Holiday Concert and we have MANY teachers visiting us to borrow craft supplies. They have come to our classroom and called on the phone. Needless to say, I remember flying to the countries ,but I DO NOT remember flying back to school. The class hasn't mentioned anything to me yet... but I'm ready for someone to say it to me. :) haha We have a very smart bunch!
Anyway, here is some of our information and the links for everything. But I wasn't able to take a single picture. :( (Very shocking for me! I take pictures of anything and everything!!haha) But the one TERRIFIC THING... The suitcases and souvenirs all go home tomorrow!! YAHOO!!
Here is the slideshow we watched and the link to google translator. Unfortunately the video I found for the class to watch is currently offline. So I am unable to post it.
The souvenir the class made is adorable! They made necklaces and they REALLY wanted to wear them... I told them they could once they got home and unpacked the suitcase. Be prepared, it may be the first thing they want to take out of the suitcase and show you. :)
Also, we did eat a treat during our visit... however it wasn't the correct treat. I had made a mistake some where along the travels and we ended up with applesauce.
Here is the slideshow we watched and the link to google translator. (Everyone heard their name pronounced today with a German accent. They loved it!!) We also watched a Youtube Video of Silent Night sung in German. A few students recognized the tune and tried to sing along. :)
The students ate Gingerbread Cookies and made a Gingerbread boy or girl with sandpaper. :) They took forever to dry because of all the neon paint... but they turned out perfectly!!
