The Weekend

Notes from the weekend.
I am sure that after some time teaching I will start looking forward to the weekends. They are relaxed and fun and include a lot of playing time with the kids as well as plenty of own time for me to read and write. We also get more internet time and I was able to skype with my cute little Henry that I miss so much. I went to watch the children's dance and music class, and they are so good...even the smallest little ones are able to follow. They all love it, boys and girls. It's amazing how different cultures and living is. The children tell me about their beliefs and traditions and they are just so different from my own...but no matter how you live, what you have, where you are or who you are, our values seem to always relate. Happiness and love is what they strive for, and I think it's what we all strive for, no matter what shape or form that comes in.

What a great way to put it...that's so true! My grade 8 students today were working on actually putting a sentence in present tense together :) different worlds. I'm enjoying the time playing with the children, that's for sure :) Glad you like the blog, trying to keep it updated as much as I can
