Energized!

Yesterday I felt so much better since I'm getting over my cold and today I think I'm almost recovered! It's nice to have energy again and not be so tired. One of my classes today are always loud and crazy! They were feeding me their energy actually lol So the lesson they are learning is about Christmas and their sentence patterns are like "What will you put on the Christmas tree?" and "What are you going to do on Christmas Eve?" I layed out flashcards on the floor and for the first sentence I say the voc. word like "bell" or "angel" and they first have to write it on the board, grab the voc., and then tell me the sentence. The girls and boys do not get along at all and so they were very competitive and wanted to beat each other really badly.

They were so hyper and one of their new voc. words is gingerbread cookies and I actually had two students volunteer to write it since it's a really hard word to spell and say. For the first sentence pattern game, it ended up that it was tied 4-4 so then I continued with the same objectives for the second sentence. But since there were more to write, I wanted them to first write the phrase, then tell me the sentence, then grab the flashcard. They are learning things like "bake roast ham", "decorate the tree", and "sing Christmas carols". It was so intense because they couldn't sit still in their seats and they were looking at me like they were going to charge at me since they were running to the board lol

But I'm glad I have a class like that because they are a ton of fun and they make me excited to play with them haha They are also pretty smart but probably because they talk more in class and because they want to know what's going on so the other students won't get angry at them lol Then later I was singing them some Christmas carols and a lot of them knew how to sing Jingle Bells!

Then I ran 3 miles today and I was pretty excited because I think I'm running faster in a shorter amount of time! Yay..today was a productive, revitalized day!
