First Week

So I survived the first week Down Under; and it was, as the Australians say, pretty cruisy. Not a whole lot going on. I taught a few lessons here and there, but I have not fully taken over any subjects. It is an interesting time to jump into the class because they are trying to wrap up the end of term one. Next week I am taking on history, spelling, math, mentals, and the PE. So it should be a bit busier, but looking forward to it. 
I am really looking forward to Sunday when we are going to Brisbane for Dance Fever. The kids have worked so hard preparing for this, and it will be great to actually see the performance. The only downside is that we are meeting 6AM and it will be about a 12 hour day, there is always a price to be paid. 
So you know how I said that the elementary students are growing on me? Well they really are. I like to teach the middle schoolers, but the kindergartners just melt my heart. There is this one little guy who is just great. His name is Indiana, Indy for short, and he has this long blonde curly hair and these bright blue eyes. Put an Australian uniform hat on that kid and anyone would take him home. 
Not a whole bunch else to report on, I am sure things are going to get a bit more interesting soon. Until then, cheers.
