Today the middle school took a break in the middle of the day to let off some steam and have a little fun. I was assigned to the gingerbread house making group and watched as a couple dozen girls and three boys turned a perfectly nice social studies classroom into a sticky mess. Fortunately we cleaned up before the teacher was aware of how his room was treated. The kids had fun, which was the whole idea.

They also made some clay snowmen. A few of the students said they'd made actual snowmen, though clearly not in Taiwan.

Tomorrow is a regular old school day then Friday is sports day where the elementary kids play carnival games, the middle schoolers play basketball and volleyball against each other and the high schoolers avoid doing either one. It should be fun and it certainly beats trying to teach them anything on the last day before vacation.
