Hello Moon, Hello Stars...

 Well i had a had a super busy (and yet productive) day today converting oxygen into carbon dioxide...oh and doing my SOSE/Arts assessment :) Cant wait to hand it in tho...common friday!

Yesterday I had prac where i taught my first full hour long lesson to the 7/6s. It was a maths graphing lesson and we looked at Picture graphs and Double Column Graphs. Overall it went really well. They took a little longer to do the graphs then expected so i had to cut one of the activities out but they were really engaged with the tasks once they got started. Sandy said I need to work on my diciplinary skills and be firmer with them, but i always seem to get that feedback after the first lesson (or at least i did last semester with the 2/3s) so im not too worried...its not like they were running round crazy or anything lol. But when im not so nervous then im much better at it so im sure itll be much better next time. 

On another note we got a new kid in our class today (which brings our total to 28). His name is Zane and while hes in year 7 he reads/writes/does maths all at a yr 1/2 level. maybe even lower for maths since he got most of his simple addition questions wrong. With spelling we determined that he cant spell most three letter words so were starting him on the yr 2 spelling booklet come monday. I thought at first he was so far behind because he was ESL or from a different country or somthing but Sandy informed me that theres no real reason except his mom is a single mom and has been really sick and not able to bring him to school so he has a really really high absence rate. Very sad case. But so far an okay kid, although I already caught him hanging out with one of the troublemakers so only time will tell. 

On a completely random note I want to know why everybody in this damn country needs things to be chicken flavoured!? Like really, there are chicken flavoured chips and chicken flavoured mac and cheese and thats just the start. Im disgusted with this. If you want chicken then HAVE SOME! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr you dont need your chips to taste like it. **grumble grumble**

Todays quote of the day (and my new fav philosophy on life) :

When life gives you lemons make chocolate milk and leave them wondering how you did it! 

Thats all for now...to INFINITY AND BEYOND!

Ps. a huge THANK YOU goes out to Jen and Julie for the fantastic birthday gift. Thanks Girls!! Miss you both <3
