Thrown in at the Deep End

Today I turned up at school expecting to have another long boring day but some books had arrived ( the only english books in the whole Kindergarten) that were teacher's editions to teaching english. I was handed the book and told to follow Sally...I then taught 4 consecutive lessons on “My Class" to the 5-7 year olds and it was the biggest struggle of my life!!! I was trying to read and understand at the same time as smiling and singing to 20 5 year old asians staring blankly at me!!!
BUT...I have scraped the book because it is useless and at least today gave me some idea of what not to do...So this weekend I will be busy trying to create a month plan for "My Class" to show my Principal on Monday...which I'm assuming she wont have anything nice to say. They aren't very subtle with criticism.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY SONGS/GAMES/POEMS/IDEAS....OR ANYTHING! do to with "my class" including words like: Boy, Girl, Pencil, Book, Crayon, Teacher,Paper,etc e-mail me Please!!leahhillhouse@hotmail.com :)
I am sleeping at Vikki's place tonight, we're still not sure if the host family know I'm staying but I guess we'll soon find out! We are off to the Summer Palace tomorrow hopefully and I'll get some good photo's.
Sorry no photo's tonight. It's still freezing here, not as bad as I thought though. But I am hanging for some hot melbourne weather (never thought I'd talk about melbourne like that!)
