Second to Last Week at BBS

So for this second to last week, I took over just about everything. The students have finally become used to me teaching, though they still sometimes think they can get away with things (yeah right). I've been finishing up a unit on rivers, and (finally) a unit on explanatory texts. On Tuesday in Fashion Design Club, the students have begun to cut out thier patterns! They are so excited about feinally being able to cut and sew thier fabric. On Thursday the head of middle school came to observe one of my lessons. (One on World Rivers). The students were actaually very good for me while he was in there, but they did get a little too excited when I pulled up google maps on the SmartBoard. (They loved zooming in on the different rivers.) One of the boys in the class is from Russia and when we talked about the Volga River he went absolutely nuts. He had so many different facts that he wanted to share that there was no way we could have gotten through them all. Overall, that went well. On Friday, the kids were actually pretty calm seeing as it was the day before half-term break. We finally mad it to the end of the day (It seemed to stretch on forever) and we sent the children off and got ready for our different trips. My cooperating teacher is going to Marakesh (no clue if I spelled that correctly). Some of the students were actaully headed to intersting places. Two to America (one to New York and the other to Miami. One was going to Turkey, a few to England and a whole bunch had family coming to visit from different places.
