Up2Scrap and change of roles at work


Picked up this issue at Whitcoulls yesterday - cool comp if you buy it at Whitcoulls at the moment too...
My girls have a page each in this issue, they loved seeing their layouts about dad in print when I showed it to them last night. Thanks Up2Scrap :-)

I signed the papers yesterday at work to take on a 'roll growth' new entrant class till the end of this school year, start in a week's time! Very exciting and daunting, not much time to get organised...have two school visits this week with some of my class coming in.

What do you remember from your new entrant class?

I especially remember 'Where the Wild things are' by Maurice Sendak because my teacher (Miss Potvine) did a corner of the room up like the land of the wild things...hanging vines and all!

I had a quick flick through Up2Scrap at the bookstore the other day, just looking for names I recognised ;-) Saw your kids' pages, they're great!! Definitely have their Mum's talent :-)

Sounds like your school is growing like ours ... they have just opened their 9th new entrant class and Tyler (who starts next term) won't even get into that one as it will be full by then! Lots of 5 year olds around at the moment, it seems. Good luck with the new job, it sounds like it will be fun. Term 4 is always more relaxed anyway (at least it seems that way to the parents, LOL).

I saw your girls' l/o in there - very cool. I remember how Colin felt when his l/o appeared in one of the Aus magazines

Congrats to your girls! :)

Don't remember too much about my first classroom, except the teacher had made a name tag for me. :)

Oh I saw that a few weeks ago and saw teh layout, very cool. Thats exciting news about the new role, am so excited for you. Eeeeks having problems remembering that far back lol. However from more recent times as a student teacher, cushions and big ones at that and a book corner. Washing lines going across the class with the childrens work on it.

A games corner, with board games and alphabet games and math games etc etc.

Purging

The stuff can take over.  My stuff was covering my work surface and much of the bedroom floor.  I had to do a big sort out. I was brutal.   Stuff...ready to go. I packaged it in some storage totes I had that needed a new home (I’m waiting for my new CTMH travel system to arrive) and listed it on s local trading site.  It’s gone now. It doesn’t look pretty but I have a desk space and things are organised. The rest of my supplies now fit in this cupboard. Since the ‘purge’ I have had the space to create.  It feels good and it’s great to be able to get to my desk. A few pages made since the tidy up...and a box of 20 cards!

a catch up

Spent last night in Invers. We had a family dinner for dh's Nanny. We did a brief shop @ Farmers (none in the Wakatip) & went to Splash Palace this morning & BK for lunch (there's no BK here either!). Here are my 21 Challenge pages for the last three days. The hardest one was the Eleanor Roosevelt quote as I'm not sure what scares me - other than a lingering death while my children are still young, or one of them or dh being harmed in some way but even then I have a faith that gives me hope & assurance of a future. So I decided to apply this to my art or my creating - to try something new each day - even if it scares me. Day 4's quote was a goodie - I find that I make decisions all the time & this confirms that I am 'qualified' to make them. I used the pic of Katya for Day 6 as her blowing dandilion heads across the play area indicates this freedom & exploration of the world around. Watching her reminds me of the beauty & wonder al...
