Today I am going to share ‘I am Me’ with some students because last night I dreamt about it. I remembered when I was at the Neighbourhood house and I put the poem up on the toilet wall and so many people commented to me that it made them feel good. I had forgot about it. I have been wondering how to improve some students self esteem. Last night I dreamt about that peice of writing and today I am going to act on that message and share it with them.
I am tired. There are only two days of school to go. We have parent teacher interviews tonight and a big school assembley today. My daughter is going to be assisting to run the school assembley so I am nervous for her and I hope it all goes well. She has high standards and expectations, which are admirable. I am looking forward to it and hoping for her that she is pleased with her results.
Last night we went out for dinner. I haven’t been out for dinner for a long time and the food was divine. We went to Neilsons in Traralgon and it was the most enjoyable meal out. The company was great too. Women I work with and see every day, yet we are always in a rush, so it was lovely to share leisurely and relaxed time with them.
On to the day!
Firelighters and shortcuts
Tonight I have spent so much time trying to light a fire because I wanted to do it in a hurry. I didn’t get the things that I needed because I didn’t have time to go back out to the shed to get some smaller peices of wood. I didn’t have firelighters because I keep forgetting them everytime I go to the supermarket. Hence, trying to save time has taken me forever and now from all the billowing and frantic blowing on the dying little embers I have managed to create I am no longer needing a fire because I am quite hot.
I know it is silly and you have my permission to laugh at me.

What an amazing and great idea! I love the way education is heading in a direction that allows students to take responsibility for their own learning. It is so healthy. I will have to share this great idea with our curriculum team.
