thursday. jazz hands

soo this is my current laptop background...

i do miss musical theatre after having to leave last year! the ill fitting 50's costumes. the old musty smell of the attic dressing room. the neon green "green room". the flooding every time it rained. the touring around queensland on a musical bus!
ive been trying to find somewhere to channel my musical urges. a casual, no commitment Musical Theatre Jazz Class? what if 10 years of amateur theatre is actually nothing compared to real dance classes?

not even joking.

tuesday. the gift of giving

so it definitely sounds cliche enough, but i never really realised how much i enjoy giving gifts. i love spending time planning out what gift, birthday or the like, would make someone smile. something that would make them burst out in hysterical laughter, or maybe sigh in awe. knowing that you can give them something that causes them to be truly happy is such a rewarding feeling!
my favourite kind of gift giving is the surprise kind. seeing something you know someone in particular would love, and getting it for them even though it's not a special occasion... it truly makes me happy of heart!


try it; trust me.

wednesday. "Coffee, Kids, and Compulsive Lists"

holy smokes! im currently on my second day of a four week prac placement at a primary school in my local area. what an adventure it's been so far! meeting the kids, goggling at the teacher who i simply cannot fault... 

ive started to find a variety of teaching resources on the net to add to my stash for future years and assignments. one of the most interesting places ive been lately is the blog "Coffee, Kids, and Compulsive Lists". I absolutely COULD NOT BELIEVE this blog is run by only a beginner teacher! she's only new to the game but boy, has she got some smashing resources. booklets, unit and lesson plans, oh dear. i could spend hours looking through them.

im also really impressed with the Teachers Pay Teachers site as well - allowing teachers to voluntarily post units and lessons for sale (or sometimes free). 

it's a whole new world.
