the classroom again

hi everyone!

long time no post eh? well as i said previously... this is my classroom - still in its somewhat "show" state for learning journeys. and look!! i got flowers from one of the parents/guardians :o). they must know i LURVE flowers. and the last pic? thats my uber messy disorganised desk. sigh... its a work in progress.

recent musings

Just recently finished reading... i was going to read this to my class ( i love reading to kids!) but it has too many references to sex - scrap that! i'm not going to read anything that will make me feel awkward. :oP

Anyways school holidays are a week away and i am getting my holiday reading lined up. i just bought this book - looks kinda depressing but meh - i think i need to read something a little bit more mature.

On a recent random google search ... i came across this... which i thought was hilarious...

i use to love the archies comics sooo much!

luv+hugs:clio

my desk ...

Your invitation to visit 5B Belongville

For all those people who have not stepped into a classroom recently

this is a my classroom

this is the fab view i have from my desk

the other foto is the pile of "crap" i have accumalated over 6 hours

staying organised and "neat" is not easy in a classroom

this is my class in a very "messy" state ...

i'll be getting more photos tomorrow -

when the room is hopefully looking its best!

yum yum chanel...

The two tone chanel shoe celebrates its 50th anniversary!

To celebrate this iconic item - chanel is launching a mini exhibition of the two tone shoes over the years. 3 - 10 October 2007 Chanel Boutique Melbourne

13 - 18 October 2007 Chanel Boutique Sydney

Sigh.... i cant wait till they open a Chanel boutique in Perth... then my savings/credit account is going to die ... die ...die ..... :o). Till then its safe. (sort of)

luv.clio

Learning Journey

Next Thursday is "Learning Journey" day at school.

This means the classroom is open for all relatives and parents to come and see what the kids have done all term/year.

What this means to this lil teacher is stress - stress and more stress -
organising 26 kids works into some sort of organised, presentable condition is going to be a challenge. Sigh - looks like I'm going to school for a whole day on Sunday.

Something i haven't done but would love to show you is a picture of my classroom! plus some of the work the kids have done. :o)

Probably closer to the "Learning Journey" day when the room is in a presentable state.

luv.clio

too cool for school

i just recently read an interesting article about school kids and fashion.
interestingly enough, kids are becoming more descerning consumers with a taste for designer labels. not just billabong or quicksilver or roxy, like back in the jurassic age (80/90's) - but serious higher end stuff - chanel sunnies for a kid in yr 5-6-7 !!!
OMFG!!!! jesus mary and joseph ! i dont even own a pair of chanel sunnies my self. they are $400+ a pair and i seriously cbf paying that much for a pair of fashion sunnies. yes they are nice - and yes owning an authentic pair does hold bragging rights. but oh my lord... im so over it. mind you these designer labelled youths are americans from the O.C area - so i am not surprised.

read more about the article here....http://www.ocregister.com/life/back-to-school-1822680-clothes-school

a seriously fugly pair of coach sneakers.

i know i know.... who am i to comment? when i have numerous designer bags in my closet- but primary school age kids with designer gear? is way over the top. thank god my yr 5 kids live in bogan-ville, are down to earth and shop in Harbour Town - like me!
