Hello...ho ho ho! I've been wearing a Santa hat all day today and I'm in a downright jolly mood. :D
The main reason I wore the hat was to spread some Christmas cheer. (I think it worked! Folks lit up when they saw it.) Aaaand the other main reason for the hat was to hide my kinda greasy hair, but shh, that's our secret. ;)
Anyway, let me tell you about my day! And a couple of other days I've had recently...
I had a two-hour (!) Christmas lesson this morning at Yamane Jr. High School. What do you do when you're told you can have two hours to do Christmas activities?? Well, for one thing...
You bake Christmas cookies! They turned out beautifully and were quite yummy -- if I do say so myself. :)Here are a couple of photos of the cookie making process...
We played this game in all five classes, and I wrote "Merry Christmas" at the top of every single student's paper (at least 150!). Have mercy.
The guys. And...
the gals. Notice the snowy winter wonderland in the background. Yay!
We also made some Christmas cards, sang some carols, and I taught them some Christmas vocab words.
On Monday at Osanai Elementary School, we did a Christmas word Bingo game...

Although I didn't do a Christmas lesson at Samuraihama Elementary last week, I noticed some wreaths hanging in the second grade classroom. So I got out my camera to snap a picture of the decorations/crafts, and inevitably some adorable kids jumped into the photo...
...which of course is just fine with me. :)
At Yamane Elementary School last Wednesday, I ended up having a Christmas photo shoot, haha. It started with this picture of the sixth grade teacher and his class...
If the teacher looks like he's a bit of a goofball, that's because he is...
He is one of my most outgoing, goofiest people I've ever met, and I love it!
And then there's this silly kid...
who put the wreath on his head and proclaimed, "Lion King!!" Brilliant.
Well, that's all the silliness for now.
No. Wait. What do angry mice send to each other at Christmas???

Awww cute - the teacher was cracking me up from the photo along with the "lion king" kid. I wish we had gotten to do stuff like bake cookies in school - lol - no fair.
Daaayna,
