After the hard work is finished... the books are read, the sound pronunciation tests are finished, the writing is done, my students do a variety of activities so they have the opportunity to speak as much English as possible.
The Kinders
The Kindergarten classes are the exception to this. They of course just get to have fun all morning long but they must speak English. They go through four rotations (I teach 2 classes and Callie teaches 2 classes).
They get to: 1. eat food 2. read and talk about a book 3. make an art project 4. bounce around in a padded room and call it PE

I still love reading those Berenstain Bear books

Sometimes it's hard not to just squeeze Robbie; he's so fun to have in class
For PE, I have been teaching these kids how to dance. (sorry for the shaky camera...they still need me to do the dance with them)

The Trouble Makers
(just my older students)

My other two classes (9-10 year olds) had fun doing some 'spring time' activities. Since most students are not Christian, they don't understand the connection between Christ, Easter eggs and bunnies...oh wait, do any of us know? Nonetheless, they didn't object nor ask why they were on a hunt to find candy-filled plastic eggs (why would they? it's sugar!)
Sharon's obviously about to pounce upon another egg finding
No deluxe egg decorating kits here! It's all about the vinegar, water and food coloring
Did you know if you write your name with white crayon on the egg- the dye will not color that area?
Anyway, I just LOVE these kids!
