Please, Sir, can I have some more?




Okay, I have just over a month to go and have given more thought as to what I should and should not take. Now, after seven years of teaching I have accumulated so many teaching resources and so much junk (the teachers out there will know EXACTLY what I mean) and somehow have managed to sort through and pick out a few items I will need to take with me to get me started. Let me tell you, this was not an easy process! Now it is about 3 kilograms. A folder with some BLMs, some maths texts, some literacy worksheets, craft activities, music and a book full of outdoor activities just to get me started. Kicking a ball in the freezing cold should be interesting.

Sometimes I wish I could ask for more luggage allowance and say, "Please, Sir, can I have some more?" Realistically though, I don't want to be dragging heaps of work things. There needs to be room for all the fun things and souvenirs! Okay, now all that awaits is cleaning out my study and classroom. Any volunteers?

You won't be kicking around a ball for PE or games like we do back home - it's all inside and they will most likely have a coach. I would scrap brining the books and instead download lesson IWB activities for smartboard and promethean using the framework for ideas. The one thing I would bring are phonics activities - the ones I have seen here suck
