So I thought it was time to tell you what I’ve been doing. And maybe explain why Mr TLC is singing Bor1s the Fle@. I’ve been Flashing! Ooh er. I’m having great fun making Flashy stuff for my other place. Basically, my life has […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: October 20th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: My Life | The Job. 2 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)My Weekend Mission: create some video clips showing students how to use measuring equipment (rulers, protractors, that kind of thing) and then upload them to TeacherTube. How hard could it be? I was so confident that this would be the easy peasey bit of my big measuring project that I left the videos until last.

The kids all have two days off (training day tomorrow and a holiday on Friday), so they felt like they were breaking up for the holidays, in fact I won’t be teaching again until next Wednesday as a result of training days and so on. It felt a bit […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: October 7th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: My Life | Random Musings | The Job. One comment so far - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)I love that Friday feeling. Especially when it arrives so early. Only one more teaching day left for me this week, then a training day and a long weekend. That’s such a good thought I’ll say it again: a long weekend. Not that I’m getting excited about it or anything. Did I mention that long […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: October 1st, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Mr TLC | My Life | The Job. Comments are closedYesterday was Open Evening. Not the type where parents turn up and ask how Little Johnny is doing in his lessons, but the type where small people from primary schools turn up with their parents and we do a bit of marketing. Normally we share out the pain work, but as a result of my […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: September 25th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Languages | The Job. 4 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Le 26 Septembre sera la Journée Européenne de Langues. À mon école, il y a deux profs de langues qui ne travaillent pas le vendredi, donc on célèbre la journée de langues un jour en avance. Il y aura beaucoup d’événements et d’activités intéressants à l’école aujourd’hui. La journée commencera avec un petit déjeuner international.

I should have seen it coming and prepared for it, but my fabled powers of observation seem to have failed me. As usual. Every single one of my lessons today began with the end of the world. (It was nigh you know. Nigh! Allegedly.) By the fourth lesson I’d had […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: September 3rd, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Quotes and Quips | The Job. 3 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)The students return to school today, so I’ll be teaching my first lessons for many weeks. On the first day back, I always find myself remembering the wise words of one of my former tutors, offered just before I started my first teaching practice: “Remember that there will be 31 people in that classroom, and […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: September 1st, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: The Job. Comments are closed…it’s back to work I go went. I do like my job (although obviously I like the holidays even more), so after the getting up early part was out of the way, I had a good day. I got so much done -it’s amazing how productive I can be when there aren’t any actual students […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 21st, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: The Job. 4 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Today was GCSE results day. As usual I went into school to see the students and to see how they had fared in their final exams. For the most part the results were as expected – but then they usually are aren’t they? But in amongst them was one totally unexpected result, one that stopped […] |
