Get Ready, Get Set . . . Here I go!!!!

The next time I post I will be in Australia!!!!

I'm done packing and everything is in its place. Believe it or not, I only packed my suitcase one time and have plenty of room to bring things back. I've picked up some things to leave for my classroom in Australia. I am bringing over Oregon quarters, some American flags, WOU pencils, a few books and some pens to leave with the teacher and principal. I also picked up a bunch of Thank You cards so that I can leave a message for each student and the other faculty and staff members I work with.

I have been put into contact with the teacher I am working with. Her name is Carlie and she teaches Stage 1, or grades 1 and 2 combined. She is in charge of Sport (an extracurricular activity) and I am hoping to be able to help with that or some other after school activities once I get set over there. They have a carnival in July that I am hoping to help with and go to!

I have already learned some new lingo and will try to remember to post the new things I learn on my blog, so keep an eye out for it.

I also am able to receive mail where I am staying. If you would like that address, please e-mail me at Angel63162@aol.com so that I can e-mail it to you.

6 more days!
