chalk or cheese?

.

my professional experience this week is off the chain, 5 days down - 3 to go. where to begin?


situational analysis.

awesome teachers and habitus* @ Pagewood Public; great class dynamics in Year 5 & most importantly (an example of a high modal adverb!) fantastical artworks were made and more yet to come!

observation aspects: [minimum of 4]

1. co-operating teacher. one word - brilliant. ;
2. student quotes of the day! ;
- Jacqueline: "Miss, if the National Anthem says we 'boundless plains to share' then why aren't we sharing?"
- Miss Ella: "Who can give me an example of Fauna", Kinde student: "A flower?!"
- Ben: "I don't think refugees should be allowed", Fin: "If you put yourself in their shoes, how would you feel?"
- Jacqueline : "I heard that the teacher's had a 'Melbourne Cup Feast'?"
- Braydon "It's sooo inn Miss!"
- "I'll eat those chocolates for you!" on Miss McLean's Birthday.
- "Miss Ella, terracotta - isn't that a cheese?"
- "Yes Miss Hoare." x 24
3. pre-service teaching ballistics &
4. non-stop, overload in the right hemisphere of the cerebrum!!!


* see sociologist : Bourdieu, Pierre (Prof.) French.
