Amsterdam!!

Just a quick update to tell you I just bought tickets to go to Amsterdam!! I am going with a couple friends and their friends for 4 nights for our October break. I am so excited!! I can't wait to see Amsterdam, and have a holiday with my friends. Right after that Haydn is hopefully coming to visit me, and then I am working a week of holiday camps before school starts up again. Can't wait - only 4 more weeks :)

Had a good day at school today. We made fruit sticks (ie. fruit salad on toothpicks) today as part of our healthy food unit in science. That was quite the experience. I came in just as the kids had got out their fruit and were starting to try cutting in up. So that was a bunch of gr 1s with sharp knives and no clue how to use them. I yelled at a couple kids to get them to stop as they tried cutting with the knife upside down and were going to put their hand on the blade... In the end no one cut themselves, and it was a great activity. The kids seemed really happy to have made the fruit sticks themselves. And they certainly ate enough! We made about 100 of them I swear, and barely had any left at the end.
