Good News

I received lots of exciting bits and pieces tonight when I got home.  My "Diary of a Womat" and "Diary of a Baby Wombat" books by Jackie French arrived.  As did some of my textbooks.  I also received my exam results and have passed well.  So I know I've passed that subject.  When Miss Sunshine came home yesterday upset about one her own exam results I began to wonder if I might've been off-track too.  But no.  All is well.

As well as all that good news I've had another great day.  I spent some time with a Yr3 boy to try and get him up to speed on a project assignment that he'd missed some time on at school.  He's a lovely kid...not quick to get started on his work, but quite willing to get into it with a little bit of encouragement.  Perhaps he's one of those kinds of people that are overwhelmed by the "blank page".  In any case, I enjoyed working with him.  I also got to 'umpire' a half-court game of basketball for the Yr 3/4's.  They were great at sharing around who would take a ball-up or a throw-in.  The winners didn't gloat and the losers didn't sook.  They're beautiful.

Tomorrow I teach my first lesson.  The Yr 3's and Mathletics.  I think it's very amusing that a small group constitutes a whole year level at this school.  On Thursday I think the plan is for me to teach a lesson for the whole class.  So I'm off to write a lesson plan.

I'm so sorry to hear you're so sick Rach. Such bad timing! But a CR and a DN....I hope that lifts your spirits when you're feeling yucky! Well done you!

And get better.
