First week of work!
Well, today wraps up my first week at my new Katimavik placement! I don't know if I mentioned it, but I'm working at Dunning-Foubert Elementary School, which is just down the road, and goes from Kindergarten (I think junior and senior) to grade 8!
Anyway, all the schools had a PD Day on Monday, so Nick, Jade, Gwobs and I just sat around at home. Then we started on Tuesday. I've been with some French Immersion classes (1,2,3), but I think I'm going to be switching to English classes, so I'll be more comfortable. Because, I mean, I took French for 3 years, and so have 3rd graders, so we're pretty close to the same level. Ooer, and I also found out that I interviewed so well, that I was their first choice. Ha ha ha ha ha.
So, yeah, school is school. I'm exhauted everyday when I come home from work, but I get home at 10 after 3, which is the perfect time for a nap before dinner. Except a few days ago I fell asleep in the livingroom, and someone made me cuddle with Gwobs' socks. Ew.
Last night we did a big workshop on conflict resolution, which I hope will help us, since we are a bit back in the Stoming stage, at the moment.
Tonight is Free Time, so maybe we'll hit up the mall, mall rats that we are! Tomorrow all it says that is scheduled is "Learning Plans," which is when we fill out all of our learning goals and abilities for the trimester.

Cooool, French Immersion. Took me ages to explain the concept to my first host family. After like 2 months they stil thought I had just taken french classes in school. I should have just let them think that, they were really impressed at how mmuch I understood after just 3 years of french classes.

My Mom says that there used to be milk in bags when she was little.
