My body, my town

Every Friday morning at Haba is spent preparing for what we call 'Presentation'. Each English teacher spends the first two hours of school with the same 6 or 7 year old class doing 'Show and Tell'. This show and tell usually consists of teaching the kids a phrase about the monthly topic and then typically a song. Oh yeah, each month we have a different theme. January's is 'My body, My town'. February is 'Friends and shopping'. A few classes are centered on these themes and your presentation is supposed to be related to the theme somehow. At 12:00 sharp Friday the 6 and 7 year olds are marched into the gym and perform, along with their teacher, what they have learned that day for everyone. It is usually very fun and always super cute to see what actually happens when the kids are standing up front with a microphone in their face.

For most of the time that I have been at Haba, I've spent these mornings with schwarz class. This is a very interesting class because it is full of 6 rambunctious boys (who most the time think that they are honestly transformers) and one very sweet girl. While I have a hard time always controlling them and keeping them from harming one another, we also spend a lot of time laughing and having fun. This past Friday we talked about our body parts and how many of each part we have.For presentation they talked about whatever body part they wanted ( a lot of "I have one head", "I have two arms", and "I have one mouth"), and we all sang the song "I have two arms". I was very proud of their performance. The following video is them practicing the song before we headed out to meet the rest of the school. You can see that most of the kids are doing great but in the right corner Optimus Prime (Antonio) and Megatron (Roy) being a little feisty.

Oh, we also had a 'Sorry, Sorry' dance party.

They dug it.
