Today is P.A. Day, so I didn't need to be at school by 8:30am~ I got there at 9:00am. Then I started marking, marking and marking. I finished marking everything in the morning, then Ms.Carson asked me to go to lunch with her and a few other teachers. We ate at East Side Mario, and the pasta was great~ We stayed there for 1 and a half hour. =P Teachers never get to go out for lunch 'cause of the kids, so P.A. Day is a good day to do that~ After we went back, I photocopied some of my kids' work so I can put them in my portfolio. ^^" Then I just chilled with the teachers & talked about mo liu stuff. Ms.Carson and Ms.Jones were having a bubble gum chewing contest hahah~ I planned on having a Math Fair for the kids on Monday, but Ms.Carson said we'll just party in the afternoon, so that's great~ The morning would be catching up periods. So I don't have to do any planning for the weekend! I'm free! I'll miss the kids so much...but I'm going back every week, so I still get to see them. ^^"
P.S. Does anyone know how I can make Blogger remember me? I check the "remember me" box everytime, but it never remembers me! Bad memory...-_-"

2 lyrics!
I've been so busy for the last while, so I haven't been writing a lot of lyrics. I wrote 2 today! So happy~ ^-^ There's 4 more left in my line-up~
So rewarding!
Today, I went on a Spring walk/picnic with the kids, with another student teacher's Gr.1&2s. We went to school early in the morning to prepare for the food~ We made fruit kebabs & put them in the cooler so we could eat them at the park. They had so much fun!
In Math, my host teacher assessed each student individually while the rest of them did other work. She said that most of them got it, even the ones who she thought might not understand. She said that I did a really good job. It's so rewarding! ^-^
2 important discoveries that I made: I can manage a classroom, and I can teach. Shy shy Anita from way back when can manage a classroom & teach! I still remember when I was in Gr.8, I had to present something, and Ms.Gilbert made me stand while others were allowed to present in their seats. Then she made me stand on a CHAIR 'cause I wasn't loud enough. She even threatened that I'll have to stand on my DESK if I'm still that quiet. It was one of the most embarrassing & terrifying moments in my education. @.@

My teaching
I went to talk to my AP today, 'cause he watched my lesson yesterday. He gave me lots of great comments & compliments~ He said that I've improved a lot in terms of classroom management, and that I'm giving them "the eye", "shhhhh....-ing" them, and doing all sorts of different things to get their attention. He thinks that I'm very invitational, creating a warm & fun atmosphere~ He read my lesson plans & reflections, and he thinks that I've learned a lot throughout the yr and mainly through these past weeks. He also said that I'm the only primary teacher in the school who's comfortable with using the computers with the kids. He said that I can think of this as a project -- using computers in the primary division, and trying to get over the barriers. I think he's pretty pleased with what I'm doing, and gives me lots of questions to think about~

Getting ready
I'm catching up with my 06-07 diaries for our 3rd anniversary. I'm getting there! As soon as I finish my teaching block, I'll finish it up, print it out, and prepare for my other presents. I usually do it at least a month b4, but I didn't have time 'cause of all the planning and teaching. I only have 2 weeks, but I can do it! ^-^
