Paper-plate monsters

Rainy morning (drove again)

Parked in Minnie's, painting paper plate monsters. Embedded video with Aurasma x1, would like to do all...probably not much point though as chances of any parents being #EdTech enough to retrieve low, and that the school will tell them about it in the first place?

Thought about Can Do during the day & used Scriv to note them down & email back to base. Productive.

Racket in the afternoon, of pianicas, drums, cymbals & green wing nuts trying to hit me. I can feel a punch coming on. Ibuki high on my list.

Flu everywhere now...

Dancing Elves

Jim Time really good with Madge joining in & setting the mood. I took the piss out of the nose pickers & thumb suckers. They loved the SANTA letters falling down, & second (original) "What do you want for Xmas" version better. Made an Aura very quickly AND it worked across devices! Shocked silence as SANTA sang "We wish you a Merry Xmas" back at them!

Lunch = pinched to sit in red class, next to boy being aggro after his mum had another baby. Hard time to adjust.

Madge made origami Xmas trees, not had time to snapguide it yet.

Lunch & prep time drawing SANTA & letters/lyrics, some hilarity with Dancing Elves app (esp. Boss suited & booted). Boss & Dragon laughed their tits off! (Copy & paste faces into a video).

Stranger Danger

A young woman very touchy-feely in the yard with multiple kids. thought she was an unidentified mum at first. Chief expediently called end of playtime & UFO vanished (back to the hospital, she thought. Any peril? Best not take the chance & find out the hard way.

Snow flurries all the way here, & continuing. Chief chatty (but blue?) & gave me a coffee while a class practicing in the hall. Much better option. She's making a silk ball for Juan. In class, legs11 involves me with telling the date & weather, ok which she warns everyone tomorrow will be even colder - minus something when we wake up. The horror!

Y apparently did listen yesterday & started to negotiate with Boss wrt schedule 2015/staffing, and thought about price. Asks me to hire domestically, now, familiar with Japan etc...as she doesn't want to be here all the time (why would that be?). I flat out refused to countenance idea I do any more, as it is killing me. Put on weight, drinking late while trying to catch up, can't do must do stuff, don't get to email & don't plan any lessons/follow up properly, spend time here stressed about Luna classes, junk food wrong hours for snacks & too much booze.

Rant over.

Stodgy lunch = I was last to finish on my table ;(  Straight to the bog!

Offered more coffee while prepping Jim Xmas Time. iLeader already made cards. Surprised myself drawing semi-decent Santa face for SANTA song, as well as nice A4 letters. Awesome me, later embedded a Chatterkid video of me singing 1st verse with Aurasma. Left Santa up with message, he's watching you.

Dec Jim Xmas Time 

1. Hello Hello clap your hands intro song + TPR

2. SANTA song to Bingo tune + gestures, letters on wall.

3. What do you want for Xmas (Xmas version) - ball, yo-yo, bike...

4. Chairs for tables + crayons, 

draw what you want for Xmas & colour Santa. 

Asked Legs11 1st, she wants a car. 

Time limit, and we write names on each & fold for them. 

Blank inside = too bad - didn't plan that bit.

5. Other version What do you want for Xmas (rocket etc) with actions

6. We wish you a Merry Christmas - words on wall

And it is still trying to snow.

Show me your Aura

At least it's only half a day & I know about it; yesterday's early finish caught me out, upstairs fiddling with video edits & trying to make Aurasma work (hard w/out wifi!)

Nervous about this am as missing props for song; I puked twice (yes, I still get stage fright!). Least likely to notice under par performance = Fski, who has been blue for a week. Her birthday today shared with Dragon. Filled time taking portrait shots for Teacher Assistant app.

Boss's teeth nearly fell out when he saw the magic Auras I'd created in Madge's & Choriso's rooms. Heh heh! Will he actually do anything with? Doubt it.

Fski misses stuff; boys getting aggro, enormous bee, bad table manners...I don't enjoy the room. Feel flat anyway, with diarhorrea.

iLeader swoops in & magics the place with charm; all sit down & start singing along with the smile & behave - she simultaneously names & praises performers. V good job.

Introduces a story asking about bums; just as I'm admiring her posterior!
