First Teaching Post in......years...

eee Gad!  I have just finished a two day relief teaching post at a local school.  What a blast from the past for me.. Kids haven't changed...

I have to say I was terrified I'd lost it.. or something.. after I realised I hadn't stood formally in front of a class for 14 years.

But - its in the blood... the dark side.... and I really felt I made a difference and got to enjoy my tie there as well.  Sure there were some .. interesting kids there - no doubt with their share of history and excuses....but boy  - there were some real little gems there too. such bright little stars.

I got the call late on Monday - so had some time to prepare a bag of things to take in.  My kids were so good - Lovely neighbour Sandy took them up to school in the morning - as I wasn't sure how far it was to drive to the school or how long it would take.

am looking forward to getting future calls - but really hope not to have them early in the morning for that days work.. thought I know this is the bulk of work which is out there... its a real strain in the mornings to get out in time...

AFL Girl

Miss Lilly at AFL. She is so proud to be big enough now to go to AFL classes and to have her own ball and bag!

She is fearless and runs around with her eye on the ball.  I think she will be a force to be reckoned with...

First Project

I hope I pass.. umm that is... I hope Morgans project passes.....

here is a picture of Morgans first poster - where he had to research different ways of communicating without words.

Strictly speaking braile forms words - as does smoke signals and morse code .. but I hope we came up with enough unusal ones to satisfy the teacher!
