Four days a week at one school

I am so excited as I have been offered a regular four days a week at one school, starting at the beginning of next term. Yay!!!! It is a really nice place to work. No more day to day casual for now. Relief :) Will now be able to save up for more of this....Travel!!!!!

Busy, busy, busy

Well it seems I have been too busy to blog lately, which is great as I have been working non-stop. I have secured two days per week on-going at a lovely school not too far away. I am really happy to know what I am doing at least two days each week! The positive side of casual work is that you can pick up many interesting teaching ideas. It really can be a window of opportunity so I am making the most of it and keeping a record of what can work really well....and not so well!!!!! Going to different parts of the city north of the harbour has also given me some interesting places to shop on the way home :)
Love this idea which is one of mine. Looking at Australian environments from an aerial perspective, students combine photographic images with mixed media in their collaborative artwork. I used decorated papers (with pastel and dye), straw, wool and pipe cleaners. This work is from Kindergarten!

Busy two weeks coming up

Seems I have only one day in the next two weeks not booked! This week is my birthday so am happy I am apparently popular! Go Jen :)

Friday calls

Feeling very popular..four schools called this morning so off to first call! Also furthest away but happy to go. Packed an interesting lunch called grab from the cupboard, fridge & fruit bowl :)

New school

Off to a new school today. First day nerves? Nah!!!

Working all week

This week was a busy one...I worked all week!!! Four days at one school and one day at another. You actually pick up some great ideas casual teaching and will take note of ideas that work really well. This is a set of laminated images of Australian flora and fauna, great for any age group to inspire fabulous drawing. I picked up a great book with images at a garage sale for $2.00 !!

Days here and there

Work is picking up. Two days this week and so far three next week. Happy about that!! Enjoying meeting new people and even got to spend the day at a swimming carnival!

A new day is dawning!!!! (well actually this is sunset at Trial Bay....but am sure sunrise is just as beautiful)
