It's been a while
Hi all!!!
Well it's been almost a week since I posted something so I figured I had better get something up online so people didn't start thinking that I'd died or something.
It's been a really busy week but a good one. Today in science class I did a demo for the kids where I screw a 200 Watt lightbulb into a portable socket, break the glass and then plug it it. It's great! It lights up and the filament starts smoking like crazy for about 6 seconds until it burns out. One of the kids said to me today "Meester (that's how they say it) you really like breaking things don't you?" I can't deny it.... I do like breaking things.
I went with Matt Shannon (The grade 8 History teacher who has been here for about 7 years) to play basketball in a neighborhood in the city. It was tons of fun and I got a really good run. I figure that it will be a great way to learn spanish too. There were tons of people from the neighborhood out there just hanging out and watching.
Ok, PD (professional develpment) stuff starts in about 5 minutes so I've gotta go. I'm going away to some hotsprings this weekend so I'll pack my camera and bring back some pictures to post.
Tah Tah,
Love Matt

Thanks for the update Matt. While I wasn't worried that you were dead, it had crossed my mind. Natural hot-springs......ooooooo, how lovely.
Mmmmm...breaking things. Your class sounds like it's a lot more fun than the one I remember sitting through
Great demo idea. Now I want to go try it out... without dying, of course.
