More Pictures

To view the pictures click on them, for some reason they don't seem to show up here, sorry.

Again, I have to apologize for the lack of pictures. I know I always so this, but I will try to get better at it. I've started to get used to not having a computer which I think is good, it keeps me active, and I learn to multi task at school. I've also started to learn to write long form lesson plans, and I feel for teachers who used to do that. (or still do) I provided descriptions of the pictures on the Flickr website so for more details look there or HERE

This past weekend was our Margaret River Trip. This is where our CMU group took a 3 hr (or so) bus trip south to Margret River from Guildford, WA. Guildford is about a 40 minute drive from Padbury (my home) and thank god for Gav, he dropped me off and picked me up, he is an angel. I know I've said this before but our group works well together. We all had a wonderful time and seemed to help each other out in those times when we needed it most. When people had tough times abseiling, caving, cooking or surfing we all seemed to pull together and make it happen, lovely!

I started full on teaching today. I had a pretty good time. I am learning a great deal, even just today. These students are not diverse racially, but nearly every other type of difference is present. From geographically, (some boarding here who live over 100 miles away) socio-economically to culturally and then some. I think this week will be a test of what stand my teaching will take, but I already see some respectful relationships between myself, the students and other teachers formed. I only can smile about how this experience has already shaped me both personally and professionally. I am looking forward to the next couple of months.

Enjoy the pictures, I hope for more to come.
