Do I really not speak English? Just kidding, but I am still just as funny to my class now as I was to start.

They write the date as Friday 17th February,  2017 (everyday I start it wrong)

Scrapbook just gets a giggle when I say it and I am not sure why.

There is so much more that is different that I am working on changing how I teach constantly throughout the day. I am happy to say that this week I am felt more like me in the classroom. I am learning that asking for help all the time is okay (thank you to all that help me daily). I am also really taking in all the "new" to me ways of teaching. Next week I get to start training for the TENS math program and am looking forward to it. 

Lollipop lady? Who is that. From the kids I learned that it is a lady who gives out lollies when you cross the street properly. I am teaching Road Safety here right now and I took them to google maps and was so excited and so were they to look at Beaumont on Google Earth. I am sad to say that right now on Google Earth it is the middle of summer in Beaumont so no snow.  I did they venture to show them pictures of the ice castles my family went to last year and now they all want to move to Canada. I am also showed them pictures my class from Beaumont skating and building snowmen. I am going to teach them about Carnival next week as well. 

This week was Valentines. Wow very different at school. No party, not cards from each student. We did some fun GoNoodle dancing, made cards for home, talked about our unit on relationships and then completed a math valentine mystery. It was great!

 

 At home we made our traditional Valentine Heart Shaped Pizzas. Had some wine, and some delicious desserts. It was a great way to spend the night with the family.









All in all, this week I have started to feel more settled at work. I have even made a few friends that get my humour about teaching! Matts legs are sore from running everywhere, Maëlle is still loving school, making friends and even got a swimmer of the week award at swimming and Malia is just enjoying life and has been testing Matts patience as usual.
