But I Smile Anyway…

Well, I can now say I have done my first FULL week as a teacher, weekend included!

I updated you on the first half of the week, and on the last two days, Thursday and Friday, I was to have my first experience of being the ‘solo’ teacher!  I was nervous, but really excited, and it was fun! We did all the activities the littlies know, and I added in karaoke as circle-time, so I could hear them in action individually, and there was one little girl with a beautiful voice, and at 4, was enunciating all the words from ‘Let it go’ clearer than some adults! It was such a cute activity!

We were also lucky as the weather turned to what should be summery weather, with nice sunny, hot even, days, where they could play outside in the water, and it was a joy to see them!

Of course it’s not all just playing with them, but I have to be tactically observing the kids too, and with the use of some new software that the school has invested in, I was happily taking pictures and notes.  I am guinea pig for this software in Nursery for this term, and hopefully I will become an expert, ad teach the others for full roll out come September! Still, the notes and pictures also needed transforming into something that others could understand… ah well, leave that for Sunday!

Saturday was lovely, and though I didn’t work, we had a childless evening and night, as I had a colleague’s birthday party that Hubby Dearest and I had been invited to. It was great for me to be able to bring him with me, so he could meet all the people I talk about so much! The kids had a lovely evening with their grandparents!

We danced, sang, drank, ate, and generally did all the silly things that teachers do, once kids are not around! It was a laugh, and even Hubby Dearest enjoyed himself, meeting other hubbies that had been dragged out, and bonding over beer!

This morning, I managed to wake up, and I knew I could not avoid the inevitable.. I had to work too!

Lil Man was lucky enough that he had been invited to an American Speed-fest event at Brands Hatch, with his best friend, so he had his fun, and we went to pick up Lil Princess, had lunch with the in laws and generally chilled.. me with my work iPad attached to me.

But at least the work is done now!!!!

YAY!  And now, I shall enjoy the rest of the day, or evening at least, outside, appreciating the lovely weather, with my darling family!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday Peeps!!!
