so this week i taught the kids about santa claus. highlights of my lecture included a 3 slide demonstration of how he goes down the chimney (the middle slide being of him stuck with he legs dangling out) and a slide about how he eats 1 million cookies on christmas. they all thought this was very interesting.
i also showed them a clip from "jingle all the way" where arnold schwarzenegger goes to the mall of america to buy his son a present, and mayhem ensues. it goes from seeing adults dive all over the ground to retrieve balls that will secure their place in line for the toy, sinbad being assaulted by a mob of people to steal his ball, and arnold jumping on a piano to retrieve a runaway ball. in between all of this fingers are being bitten, entire store shelves are being knocked over, and all of the adults are acting like children. we have a very strange sense of humor...haha. the kids were laughing like crazy during it, but after i turned it off they were unusually quiet. i don't think they know that much about christmas outside of what their book tells them ("there are lights in the streets. children send cards and receive presents...") so they were probably a little confused about how the information in their book had any relationship with what was being portrayed in the movie.
