Hey Everyone

Hope your Fridays are going well. Mine was alright. Nothing bad happened at least lol. I taught 2 lessons then helped the kids paint /draw giant posters for our product Showcase that we are having on monday in the hall! Here are some pics of how they turned out (The fishbowl one i painted the background on because they didnt have time to do it but they did all of the rest) :

As for the rest of my day I decided to skip out on going to interschool sport to stay behind and mark their products and brochures (their final project for my SOSE unit). Which I did until 330 ish when Sandy got back, and after getting all excited and happy that i painted the background -she thought she would have to do it - she bought me a beer so i went down and friday drinks with the teachers before heading here. Good beer too XXXX mmMMmmm ..... [if your wondering, its common here to have drinks with all your work mates on a friday. Since we are all at school we all go have them in the deputys office -awesome!]

Out of the mouths of my students :

I forgot to mention this in my post yesterday - and some of you might have seen it on my status on facebook - one of my students, Robert, asked me why Mrs Lewis got a full time teacher aide? So i explained to him that Im not a teachers aide and that im a student teacher which means im learning how to be a teacher from mrs lewis and then she marks me. To which he replied "I think you'll make a good teacher when you go back to canada". How cute is that?!

Other happenings in the classroom:

I taught the kids about Diamante poems this week and on the very last slide i put a photo of a note pad and pencil and then i used the handwriting font to write "Ms Denman is awesome" in small font. Then as i went through the slides i  let the kids find it themselves ..heres how it went down in the classroom.

Me: Kay now i want you all to try it out here is the format again in case you need it. *switches slide*

Josh: *reading out* Ms Denman is awesome

Me: AW JOSH! thats so nice of you to say!!!

Josh: *looks at me ...then smiles* your welcome.

Maddy: How did you get it to say that?

Me: I didnt, it actually came like that...See, im so awesome even the computer knows it !

BAHAH, I love that i can do random stuff like that with the older kids. The younger ones just dont get it without me having to explain it.

Music:

So i was youtube-ing music videos and i found this girl named Rissi Palmer. Im pretty sure shes the only black girl to ever sing country music but she puts her own R&B spin on the country song. I love it!!! Here are my fav two songs (so far) by her:

Country Girl: song about its not where your from but how your raised that makes you country. Song--> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr4ab0Ra1Xs&feature=related Lyrics--> http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/palmer-rissi/country-girl-23587.html

Mr. Ooh La La: This one makes me think of you Mr Nate. Its a song about how great her man is Song --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5_8mPmOgMo  Lyrics--> http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/palmer-rissi/mr-ooh-la-la-23590.html 

This song here isnt from her but i found it and it made me laugh mainly cuz it makes many references to Kenny Chesney's Butt LOL... Its a song about what makes up the perfect man.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFRHNfraDJ0&feature=channel

On a shitty note I left my camera at school today (SAD DAYS) which means I wont be able to take any photos this weekend...and of course just because i have no camera a bunch of cool stuff will hapen this weekend like another turkey walking down the stairs! grrr ...oh well such is my life.

----------------------------------

11 DAYS!!!!

Are you excited?!!?!? I sure as hell am!!! Ive started planning out Canada Day celebrations (aka I havnt seen you in an entire year, and we have a reason and a day off  so lets hang out !!) And of course SUPER excited to see Mom and Dad again and Mr Nathan <3 I miss you super much going from seeing you every single day to not at all. Booo

----------------------------------

So I called Sophia last night (my landlord) and talked to her about extending my lease for a week so that im not homeless for 4 days before my flight. And she said its all good (not in those words of course cuz she doesnt speak english very well but you get the point).So i emailed Moe (house manager of sorts)  today and made  sure he knew also that I wasnt leaving right on the 24th. He then called me back and said that Sophia failed to mention that shes leaving the country soon so if I want my bond back it needs to be done TOMORROW. Like wtf youd think she would mention that to me. Grrrrrrrrr...*Grumble**insert bad word here**Grumble*

----------------------------------

Well thats it for now my friends as i have (finally) run out of things to say. --You cant really  blame me for talking/typing this much as my only real social interaction thats not on a professional level is with 9/10 yr olds. Which isnt very stimulating, although most of the time turns out quite amusing lol.
