happy halloween! friday was my first school halloween party since i was a student - oh my, a school full of kids on a sugar high! it was crazy. the day was a total write-off, learning wise. but, you have to have days like that every so often.

i helped chaperone the grade 7/8 dance in the afternoon. so fun and funny - just like i remembered my junior high dances to be. not a lot of dancing, a lot of standing around hoping you look cool. watching them slow dance was hilarious - and as soon as the music ended, the couple would quickly drop hands and walk away from each other...they're good kids...it was fun.

my first student teaching assignment is over - loved it. i enjoyed being in a classroom much more than i thought i would. ideally, i'd rather be outdoors, but financially and practicality-wise, working in a school is a better choice. teaching was fun, interesting, fast-paced and always changing. i must say it was quite a relief to enjoy it so much - to know that i am heading in the right direction!

off to collect food for a halloween food drive...instead of going door-to-door for candy, we're headed out for donations. :)
