After my last class before Christmas, during which I made my students sing Christmas carols, my premières (youngest grade in French high school) stopped me in the hallway. One girl asked me if I could stay for a minute. I was confused, but said sure. The next thing a knew, the rest of the class (it's split into two groups, and I see one group per week) congregated, and one particularly charming kid named Vincent came up with a big brightly colored bag. They all yelled "Merry Christmas!" and presented it to me. It was my first Christmas gift from students, and I was truly floored by their ability to coordinate and how much they must like me, because there were some NICE chocolates inside! Jeff de Bruges makes some goooood stuff, I'll tell you that.
Here is a picture of the chocolate:
However, the best part was the card they made. It cracked me up so much.
Apparently Santa does "all imaginable" badass things in France...
Dave read this and said "Until our spaceship sends us away from Earth which will be the end of relationship." Hahahahaha.
And, of course, a Star Wars reference.
These are the kinds of things that make me love teaching, and motivate me to work harder for my students. :) It really set the tone for Christmas break.
