Feliz Blah-di-daad

Well, after three days of subbing kindergarten, today I finally found the paper that has all of the words to the Christmas songs kids need to know (thanks, Kari). So, when it was time to practice, the kids and I walked through each line together... or at least I attempted to walk through each line. They were quite goofy and giggly today, though, so it was hard to get them to listen to me sing and then have them follow. Every time I started to sing, they started to sing, then they started to laugh. Finally, I just gave up and we all ended up singing together because getting them to listen to me first and then sing was a total epic fail. At least they were having fun though.

During centers the kids are writing a letter to Santa. Some of the letters have been really funny. Kids are asking for ipods, ipads, doctor sets, and race-cars. My two favorite are below.

Yes, that says she wants a broom for Christmas. Then she told me that she was coloring Santa's mustache brown because her dad is brown. I just love that little girl.

This little girl told me she wanted a big bike, then she told me she wanted a small bike, but finally she decided that she wanted a medium size bike. Too cute!!!

Quotes of the day:

1.)
Me: You need to finish your letter.
Student: Awwwwww, Nards!!!!

2.)
Me: Ok, repeat after me- Feliz Navidad
Student: Feliz blah-didaaaaaa!
Me: Listen to what I'm saying- Fe-liz Navi-dad
Student: Feliz Plah-di-dad?
