Snow and stuff...

It's been a while... I'm busy with my work placement and really enjoying it! :)

I have realised though, that I think I'm more of a school teacher than a nursery teacher. I'm not overly great with the discreet pedagogical way of teaching little people which the nursery staff are fantastic at. They manage to get loads of stuff, maths and so on, into childrens everyday playtime fun. I think I'm more suited at the more direct teaching that happens in a school environment...

Time flies and I only have two more weeks left. Next week my teacher is coming for a visit, I'm also going to be in charge (on my own but under supervision!) of an artsy activity with the kiddies and I'll also get to do one of the teachers normal everyday routines with mealtime, "nap"-time and so on... :) Busy busy...!

Last week we had out first snow!?! VERY early indeed and I have a feeling that this winter will be a cold one! I'm thinking - one for the record books kind of cold... :/

The kids went crazy when they saw the snow, which was more like sleet - but that didn't matter to them! :D It all melted away quite quickly but the mornings are very cold and frosty so it'll not be long before it'll stay... Also, winter tires need to go on the car a.s.a.p. or we'll not be able to get anywhere. :/ :)

I think it's time to get all the outdoor toys tidied away and make sure that the winter friendly stuff is close at hand. :) Project for today perhaps?

Stephen is feeling better too...getting on with the work downstairs. Feels like we're at the point where we're talking about fine tuning his meds rather than adding/changing to anything new. :) Looking forward to having this year over and done with.
