Hola!

Today was a good day for me so I thought I'd make a post. Nothing spectacular happened today really, it was just a good day for the simple reason that nothing went wrong.

In the morning I did a poetry lesson with the students - looking at both traditional and non-traditional Haiku Poems. The kids had a blast reading the non-traditional haiku poems i made and trying to figure out what books they refer too.

After this they worked on their graphing workbooks then had P.E. then break. After their first break the guest speakers i organized to come in came. They are from Green Heart Brisbane - an campaign for making Brisbane a "Green" city. They came and talked with the kids about why sustainability is important etc. The kids seem to enjoy it (altho it could be because the kids got I <3 BNE stickers and mini buttons - not gonna lie the mini buttons were my fav part LOL) and it made a fantastic kick off lesson to my Water Sustainability Unit. After the lesson they had LOTE (Language other than english -- they learn German at this school) till after the break. While they did this I worked with Zane on some basic Maths. Then they changed desks and jobs on the job chart then started their title pages for the unit.

As for tomorrow im teaching 3 lessons. Another graphing one about double column graphs. One on how to write haiku poems and then a massive first lesson for my unit about how we use water everyday. Hopefully it all goes over well ....and hope even more that my cord is there when i get home...

Well im off to go home and mark the rest of the Graphing Tests . (woot?) LOL
