So my 2nd full day at Heritage Elementary School is done. I spent the day with Mrs Bolles 5th grade class. The students were keen to ask questions, just to listen to me talk, it was so funny. It was like when I was at uni and asking Laura (the Geordie to speak) stuff just to listen to her.

The class had their specialist time 1st thing, and whilst they were doing that I was getting ready for my lesson I am doing with all the classes.

Once they came back they were doing Maths, Writing, Science. The 4th and 5th grade classes are taking part in a scheme called the Snowball. It is when they write a letter to children who have lost a parent to the war in Iraq. Their are 2000 children visiting Texas and each of those children will get a letter from a student in Texas for every night they stay over in Texas. They go to lots of different places in Texas whilst they are over here in December for 5 days. It is a really great idea and the kids really enjoy it.

Right, it's just a short one today folks so bye for now.
