The last day of class. I let them vote all the activities for the day, so, of course, hangman had to be high on the list. They also wrote poems to their parents, six-word stories, and we sang The Hokey Pokey. Kids!
We've been playing Whoosh Bong!, so they wanted to end the class with a game. Lots of laughing and everyone was so loud.
They played tournament style, with those who made mistakes going out and being replaced by those in line. Way too crazy (see the video at the end of the post).
Then it was time for the party. There was soda, cookies, chips, candy, and fruit (fresh watermelon). The class gave me this present as a going away gift.
It's and inlaid picture of a typical Vietnamese farm scene. I have never seen that shade of red before in these pieces. Very beautiful.
And here's the bunch. Crazy, funny, and ready to work at any time. You gotta love these kids.
We did lots of single shots.
Another...
And another...
And another...
Yet another.
You gotta take a picture of the paparazzi.
Then we were invited to the elementary class next door where we all performed the Chicken Dance. You'd think it was an American wedding.
Posing with the little ones.
