So I know I haven't posted in a while but I really haven't been doing much besides teaching and trying to get a hold on the content. I have been teaching year 8 for the past 4 lessons and thankfully I have improved since the first epic lesson bomb! Today was really fun because I was so excited about teaching them about animal cells (body cells) and this in turn got them excited and interested! It was fun to have some good discussions with them because some of their questions are sooooo off base. Today's lesson I also had to wing because last night I went to "To Glee or Not to Glee" which was this Glee show put on by 6 local school glee programs. Our kids were in it, which is why I went, and it was fun to see them out of school mode.
This weekend I am going with my host mum to the Gold Coast and going to Indy. Which I believe has something to do with race cars and Good Charlotte is playing (right? I didn't even know they were still doing shows). I think it will be a good time and will be so nice getting away from Oakey for a weekend. There is not much to do here and to make it worse I am car-less so I can't even escape into Toowoomba to go shopping. I hate being at the mercy of everyone else.
It is hard to believe that I have been here for 2 weeks already and even harder to believe that it is almost the end of the month/my birthday! The girls and I are carving their first ever Halloween pumpkin so that will be a lot of fun. I just hope that they are as excited as I am but some how I don't think that they are.
Alright well I have lessons to plan and papers to write so I should hurry off to that.
