Good day to you dear reader! I made my students speed date today but not in the way you might think! You see, this week our theme is on People, so naturally I taught physical descriptions and persona...
One of the things that I appreciate about my job is the fun and laid back atmosphere of the school. Because it is a small school, I get to know my students fairly quickly and I feel comfortable jokin...
When I got to the school today, I realized that I had forgotten my USB at home. I had all my worksheets and activities and games that I had planned for the day stored in that memory stick. Luckily, I...
I wish I had super human strength sometimes where I can feel perfectly awake and alert at every minute of the day until bedtime. Unfortunately, I tire very easily. This is why I have reserved my Satu...
