The Sights and Sounds of Melbourne

So far we are loving Melbourne and I have been teaching lots! I of course love teaching but being a substitute teacher can be difficult. You are not always left with plans or if you are left with them they are very..very..brief and of course the students think its a party day because they have a supply teacher. I have been using most behavior/class room  management techniques I have learned which is definetly helping. Rianna and Kendra have also noticed the difficulty of substitute teaching but the good thing is that you are somewhere new everyday(each day is different) we are working lots and we have each other to talk to.

Mark has had lots of job offers on farms outside Melbourne and has chosen to work on a dairy farm in the town of Sale, which is East of Melbourne. It is a 600 cow dairy owned by a man named Clint who is  share farmer. Mark is interested in working here because Clint is still learning so he is excited to work with him. The area is gorgeous and green with many hills/mountains. I still plan to do substitute teaching as there is still lots of work in that area.

This is mainly a picture post so enjoy!
