Anyway so after my Dresden trip I came back to school. That Monday we took all of year 4 on a field trip.
We started up by breaking all the kids up into groups of 6 and placeing each group with an adult. My group was six little boys, oh goodness. We all walked from the school to the S-bahn station and shoved all the kids on the same train. They were really excited about being on the train, but we managed to keep them contained. We then got off the train and walked to the the side of the Rvier Spree that runs thorugh Berlin. My boys decided ti would be fun to pick up all the bottle caps they found. I confiscated the ones they had and then they thought is was an even more fun games to pick them up and present them to me so I could throw them away. We got them all on the boat, which unfortunatley had other people on it. (Forty nine year olds on a boat are not quiet and there is no way that those other poeple could hear the tour. The tour lasted an hour and a half and by the end the kids were stir-crazy with sitting still. We got them off the boat and walked down to the Lustgarten in front of the berliner Dom. We had them eat their luncha nd then let them run free for about half and hour. After that we broke off into our different groups and were told that we could walk around Berlin and have the kids draw different things in their sketchbook, we just had to meet back at Hauptbahnhof in an hour and some. Of course all the other groups made in back in time, but my pokey boys and my confused self were late and my cooperating teacher had to come and egg us along. We shoved them all back on the S-bahn and made it back to school just in time.
That night I helped out with another girls football (soccer) game at Senior School. THe girls didn't win this time but they put up a good fight.
By the end of that night I was completely and utterly frozen. I only had my little purple coat all day and no gloves and I felt like a popsicle. I then decided that I had to buy an actual winter coat.
Tuesday I taught some more. THis week I began taking over all of the subjects, so it was pretty intense.
Then on Wednesday I taught in the morning and then in the afternoon Fashion Design Club went on a feild trip to the fabric store. We once again took the S-bahn, but it was so much easier because it wwas only 10 older girls and one older boy. (Much better than the 40 children from Monday)The fabric store was awesome. The kids had so much fun picking out their fabric for their skirts and in the boys case trousers. They picked out some crazy stuff and I'm really sad I won't be there to see the finished product.
On Thursday and Friday I did more teaching..
