Happy Halloween everyone!
I have taught my past 3 classes around Halloween. Russia doesn't neccesarily celebrate Halloween, but we still had fun.
I only teach Level 4 on Tuesday and Thursday, so our Halloween party was early. I was chosen to go get the pizza for me and Sydneys classes. Not much needs to be said, except I don't speak Russian and it took longer for me to order the pizza than it did to make it, even after my students gave me a Russian run down on how to order cheese pizza. They also made masks with Marci while I was getting the food. Needless to say, my class is hardcore.
These are the kids from our school outside. On a side note, do not ever get into a snowball fight with Russian children unless you are prepared to be absolutely dominated. No details needed.
Then this evening, I had my lovely Level 2s. They were really in the Spirit of Halloween, excpet Yegor. He said his sweater was a costume. He was a man.

On a side note, these kids are insane.
This morning, my Private 1 class got to dress up as different things for one of my lessons, and then we also did Ghost Bowling.
Sadly, my favorite part of the day was when we were getting the kids ready to go outside for a walk. They go outside daily, sun or snow, and it takes a while for all the kids to get bundled up in the many snow clothes they need to go outside.
While I was getting my sweater and coat on, Mariana came up and was trying to read my sweater.
First, let me explain Mariana again just in case I havent just yet.
Mariana is a chub. A cute chub, though. She is quite oblivious and mostly lives in her own world.
She also has an obsession with cats. Either a kitty shirt, kitty pants, or some kind of cat toy is always with her. Mariana mostly doesn't walk, she will kind of slide around the floor most of the time in class.
Anyway, Mariana was trying to read my sweater. So I read it to her, 'Aeropostale!'. She looked confused, so I said it again. Then her eyes got big, she licked her lips and said, 'Mmm, Pasta!' And went on her way.

Im the one in the back :)
In the spirit of Halloween, each of our activities was themed. When going over our new spelling words, I drew nice little animations in Zombie form to help get the kids to understand. It worked incredibly.
Yup. Happy Halloween.
