Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Day 2 is over and I've lost feeling in my feet. I didn't get to sit down for any of my classes and I had three in a row this afternoon! I'm definitely going to have to plan lessons where I can sit down :) They tell me the 1st week is the hardest and they'd better be right. It can be...

First day is over, Hallelujah

I am knackered, my feet are killing me and my head hurts. I taught 3 classes of Grade 6 with varying results. I'm going to have to come up with discipline methods for one of them, man, they were hard work. Tomorrow I'm teaching 4 classes of Grade 5 and have yet to write the lesson...

Ouch, my brain

My first full day of 'working' for over a month and I'm knackered even if I didn't teach. We spent the morning going over lesson plans, games, activities and discipline (anxious nibble of finger nails!). In the morning the children do their exercise out in front of the school. Photo left...

Day ???? Haven't got a clue!

Hey everyone! Well I finally feel like I've settled in, though there are still moments that I feel like I'm in another universe. There is a great bunch of teachers from all of the world who are going to be a great support network when I start feeling 'fragile' :) I've spent the last few...

Day 2

Hi everyone, I've uploaded some photos onto my flikr account of my apartment. http://www.flickr.com/photos/katrinab/ I woke up quite early, due to time differences, so I unpacked EVERYTHING and then went back to bed for another hour or two :) I had lunch with the foreign teachers...

I've arrived!

Howdy! Just a quick note to let everyone know I've arrived safely in Dongguan, even if it was 2 hours late. It's bloody hot! Thinking of you all back home.
