Jesus I'm so not ready to send him to school. I've already told the kindy teachers for next year that they are going to have to kick me out before I start crying. It's breaking my heart to have to send my baby off to school. I haven't gotten any school gear organised for him yet, but I'll get him some before they start the orientation program in November. They do 2 half days and then 2 full days at school over 4 mondays.

I started my second prac this week and OMG it's been an eye opener. Small central school K-12 and it's only about 100 students all up, so tiny classes. I'm on a year 4/5 class and some of the kids I could just wring their necks. But there are a quite a few troubled kids in the class so it's great for behaviour management etc. I guess they stand out more in such a small school, whereas at the kids school you might have the same number of kids with problems, but they are spread out over a student population of 300, not 100. But it's all good though. I have a male teacher as my supervisor which is different. He's a nice bloke, very conservative.
