Hmmm an ok day
Mood:  lyrical
Topic: The daily grind
Ok so here I am again blogging the morning after. Yesterday an ok day I think. Working with another grade of kids this week and it felt a bit like starting again from scratch. This is not really a bad thing at all just one of those things that happens at times.

Overall the kids were pretty good. I think that maybe they were giving me a bit of a test out; probable could have handled things a better in some ways.

A teacher made a really valuable comment to me the yesterday about getting attention: needing to be oral as well as visual. How some of the kids will get the oral and some will get the visual and both need to occur.

On this point she also noted that it is one of those things that will probably never be perfect and certainly not when it is not your own grade. I guess that one I will have to take under advisement: that is wait and see if that is right or not.

I am so enjoying this extended teaching experience. It is tiring, exhausting and challenging: bloody well rewarding!

It is thursday of week 6 today, the term so far has just flown by so fast and there is only 4 weeks to go; I imagine they will fly past just as quickly.

I am missing teaching the kids from the grade I have been in for the previous 5 weeks. Man they get under your skin quite quickly. Really looking forward to teaching with them again next week.

I have this research project to do and I am starting to really worry about that. Have sent info to my supervisor and have had no response. I am feeling really worried about how the hell I am going to get this thing accomplished; also feeling concerned that my mentor has asked me about it and I have been unable to give her many answers of any consequence. I hope I can sort this out quickly.

Well enough for one day better get organised!
