This activity came after singing Jingle Bells and Rudolph. Christmas Carols are a required part of the holiday curriculum in my mind. (so says the music teacher.) They laughed as I cued them on when to start singing. When they remembered I was a music teacher by trade, they laughed some more.
But, back to Christmas card making: these girls are insanely creative if they're allowed to be. I brought in glue sticks, wrapping paper, cutouts of different holiday pictures, scissors, and markers/crayons. I've never seen them work so intently on anything. We had pop-out cards, moving cards, cards of different shapes, and everything in between.
A few of my girls made me Christmas cards ... and I took pictures. Here are the outsides ...
And here are the insides of a few of the cards ...
Yeah, I definitely teared up a little today. Remember, it's only Monday.

Greetings Lauren,
ReplyDeleteI am an educator, and I have been contacted regarding a job at Bokja High School in Cheonan City. I met two Korean gentlemen who are English teachers at Bokja during a visit they made to California in the summer of 2010, along with about 20 of their students.
I found your blog while searching online for more information about the school. Would it be possible to exchange emails or telephone calls, so that I can learn from your experience, and be better prepared to make a decision about the job?
If you would be willing to help me learn about Bokja High School, please email me at "BBsouthkorea@gmail.com" .
My sincerest thanks,
Brendan
