2nd week Hajimemashita~

Evening~

I managed to do some Japanese last night
wrote out Kira Kira Boshi and numbers 1 - 10 in Kanji
and my usual 10 different sentences + hiragana and katankana

I didnt fall asleep til gone 10pm
and I woke up at 6:15am

I got off for school alright
cant say I was willing to start my school day which I knew wasnt
finishing until 5pm

So I was with my usual class in the morning
there was an incident where the other TA got hit in the face from a child
and it shook her up a bit, she got upset and needed to compose herself
so i had 15 children to myself but i was fine
we had break time then i was just working in the class really

lunch time was a bit different
i sat and ate my lunch and then went to the staffroom finding a guy who was 29
and a supply TA who turned out went to the same secondary school as me!
small world!
so we talked about that but i was laughing and joking but he looked uncomfortable 
so i left him really as i could tell i was having a bit of a hyper moment
one of the TAs i know in there practically rounded me up and left with me XD

after lunch i had my groups
1st group didnt go so well purely because of the mix of children i had so we are reviewing that as i believe one child would benefit from 1 to 1 rather than group work
but my other 2 groups went fine i enjoyed them
been told i need to start writing it all down tho which i dont have an issue with
just more stuff to do

then i came out of there and had to monitor a child for half hour in nursery which i didnt enjoy
then i ended up spending the rest of the day in nursery /:
i had to change 2 children
never had to change a child before
luckily it was just wee and i made them undress and dress themselves

at the end of the day we had a meeting involving govenors 
ugh
so we had 2 mins on each table to tell them who we were and what we did
we went in groups but we were in a 4 instead of a 2 or 3 so basically 
we didnt have as long to speak and in some cases the bell rang before i had chance to speak!
i wasnt upset by this
as when i did speak to them i said "im Jo its my 6th day here and im finding my feet still"
quite easy for me to role up and practically say "Its my first day" XD
gets you off the hook with anything
we could leave at 5pm and when our group finished it was 4:58pm
after a lot of standing around waiting and a long day and a sore throat 
id had enough and went home
i ran to my car and went to brace traffic which was surprisingly good at that time of day

i got home and didnt do much before my dinner
mum made me a brew as usual and i sat and talked to her about work
had dinner and dad washed up for me not that i asked him to
and i think hes put the chore to my brother now.....
seeing as im working and hes not my parents think im putting a lot on myself

after dinner i did 25mins of yoga cus i was aching
then i went for a 45min walk with mum as its a pleasant evening
but i have next to no voice left

tomorrow another school day really
dont know how i will get through it but sure i will

i never uploaded the xmas cards i made so thought i would

this one is karens


this time last year we put the pets in the shed
