Favourite Photo

I am currently going through my photos from the year and I just love this photo and the activity that went with it. It was for 100 Days of Prep and was 100 streamers. The children did it all, cut them, counted them and attached them. And it just looked so pretty!

I don't know why, but there's something about this that just makes it so pretty!

The Construction!

It is nearly finished. Thank goodness! I was not meant for physical labour!

the other corner!

I am just so proud of myself!

I need more time in the day!

But then who doesn't?

For the last two weekends, I have had my wonderful father helping me build some shelves in my lounge. They're looking great but what with Dad's one leg and blindness and me doing the actual building, it's going to take forever to get done! And I have also decided that now would be a good time to clean out my cupboards and throw out my old clothes. So not only does my little house look like a construction zone, it also looks like a very messy laundry!!

As for school, we are on the wind down. I have assessment coming out my ears, trying hard to get things ready for next year, getting the kids organised for their transition into grade one, getting the kids ready for the end of our year, working hard at trying to figure out the new National Curriculum, and building myself up to say goodbye to working with my aide of ten years (she's not leaving - just changing classes! but she's leaving me!) and getting to know a new aide!

Is it sad that I already have so many ideas for next year and so many resolutions that I want to keep and it's not even December yet?

Oh well, that's five minutes venting that I really needed. Even if no one is following me yet (sob sob), it feels great to put it out there, write down everything I need to do and move on!
