Christmas Party (December 24) Sophomore Class 3

It's 1550 on December 24 and that means it is time for another class Christmas Party with Sophomore Class Three.

I arrived at about 1530 to find Lisa "growing" the Christmas tree on the board. The class did not have a tree so they had Lisa draw one on the board. I told her it would work great!. The tree turned out to be quite large as trees goes.

Here is Lisa growing our tree on the blackboard.

Slowly the students began to show up for the party. Many brought along to record the fun. As preparations were being made, many of the students relaxed and visited as they waited for the party to begin.

Here Hellena and Hermione carry on a friendly visit prior to the party.

The 2008 Christmas Party for Sophomore Class Three was officially started with some games.

Games for English students. A line of students one after the other play charades with a supplied word. The last student had to guess the word from the charade of the other student.

Pete was the designated Santa Claus but in his spare time, he was busy taking movies.

In the back, we also had Oliver recording the party.

Here Ms. Hermione leads the class in singing Christmas Carols. She did a great job even though it was because she had been victimized by one of the games played.

Oliver was also victimized by losing one of the games so he was forced to make a funny face. Ha ha. We all laughed.

More Christmas Carols

More games.

Finally we got to exchange gifts. Here Isabella is happy to get a gift she drew.

Pete hands Killua her gift.

The gift sucked!

Killua gives her reaction to the gift. All in fun, of course.

Wow! An official T-shirt from Thailand. What a great gift!

Oliver with his gift. I took lots of these pictures but just did not have the space for all of them.

Pete continued to play Santa Claus.


Marian was wondering what was in this little box?


An interesting gift for Henry. Wonder what he is thinking?

Chocolate is always a great gift for Grace and any other student.

Happiness is getting a gift for Christmas in China.

Lisa and Angel arguing over whose gift is whose. Pete was unsuccessful in making that decision. No problem as everyone ended up happy.

See what a great gift this is.

Now this is a great and cute gift.

Even Alice got a gift to her big surprise. Not really. I just made that up.

Now isn't this a cute little gift! What is it?

This class put on a really big time Christmas Party last year but ended up being a bit reserved this year. We had fun but most of the students were not as excited as last year. Maybe I had just worked them to hard during the semester. Overall it was a good party but not as dynamic as I had expected. I did not even get to take a class picture as I normally would have done. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
