Because I have started a new project with the kids I have refound the enjoyment that was beginning to slip, not because I haven't been enjoying it or the kids havent been working but that after a while you really need to change things around a bit.
The evaluations I have been reading my way through are excellent, I am amazed by the effort and the excitement that is coming across from the kids, quotes of "I have never done this before and its such a great experience and I want to do more" appear in some form or fashion in almost every evaluation somewhere.
I know there are days I drive the kids hard but then there are also days when I put on the music and chill out with them, Next week I will be treating my Grade 6 classes to some cake and juice as a party day to celebrate their hard work in their tangram project. Having a party day is something that is part of the school ethos but I haven't seen it done except in mentoria so I figured that it would be a nice way of letting the younger kids unwind for a day and relax totally. Just need to work out which day and which periods.
So all in its been a good week so far with just one day to go before the weekend this week unlike last week seems to have flown in.
Finally I have bought an IPOD I have spent years avoiding IPODs and now that I have one I have to ask myself WHY !!! It is an amazing tool and is so damned easy to use, more on this as I get used to putting more stuff onto it.
More tomorrow ...
