| Teaching is so much fun! But also soooo much prep work invovled...everyday I'm learning lots in the classroom...whether is classroom management, or how to relate to the kids....
Lesson plans are required to give to my TA everyday....so next week I'm starting to teach around 3-4 lessons a day, 30 mins each....that's gonna be madness because I am still getting a hang of writing the lesson plans and thinking what would be suitable for 5-6 year olds. (they seriously have attention span of a goldfish....no jokes)
Pajama day was like a ZOO....because the kids got to bring "stuffy" with them to school....they were hyper...and also..I have 14 boys and 5 girls in my class...and the boys are a chatty bunch, not mentioning super active too.
I also played toilet tag, and learned like a gazillion tag games throughout this week...it keeps me exercising too =P I also did a lesson on the Smartboard with them (teaching MATH!), I think I was more fascinated than they were!!! This week, I will be teaching lots of Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Music and Art. I'm pretty proud with the lessons that I came up with so far, so hopefully it'll work out the way I envision it =P
Deanna is leaving for Germany tomorrow...so she asked Jasmine and I to house-sit. I am so excited to hang out at her place!!!!
Yesterday after school (YAY for half days on Fridays!), Sarah, Mimi and I went to get Marble Slab icecream. It was fantabulous!!! YUMMMY. Sarah and I also got awesome tickets to see HOLIDAY FESTIVAL ON ICE on Dec.8. We are SOOOOOOO excited!!!!! Also, yesterday night was also the only night this week that I took off...and so Mimi and Danbee and I had a little too much fun with the camera. =)
back to more lesson prep. *sigh*

| I got placed in LETHBRIDGE! At Nicholas Sheran Elementary School with a grade 1 class. This is soooo cool. I'm really pumped about it.
Now I'm done my PS1 classes, SO surreal (considering that I missed like 2 weeks out of the 8 weeks due to sickness) I'm so proud that I got through all the in class work and stuff. ^_^ PRAISE GOD!
He always, ALWAYS provides =) Thanks for the prayers!
3 Finals down, one more to go on Monday. YAYYY!
bye bye H1N1, I hope you never come back again!

| I finally got my placement for my Practicum this semester. (from Nov.12-Dec.17) I'll be teaching grades 5/6 in Vauxhall, which I didn't know existed until yesterday. (apparently it's about an hr northeast of Lethbridge.) Thank God I can still live in my house in Lethbridge...that's something I had hoped for. Although I will have to be carpooled everyday, (and driving in the winter might suck a little) Hopefully it won't be too bad.
I'm kinda excited and nervous because this will be a new experience for me...I've taught grade 2,3,4 before, but never 5 and 6. I mean, I taught grades 5/6 in a sunday school setting at church, but it's not the same.
This will be the start of a new chapter in my life...first taste of the world of teaching.
