Thursday...A few days late...

Thursday:

Today in class, I led the reading group for Mr. Popper's Penguins during a vocabulary game. We went into the hallway and I was there for support. I love when the students call me Ms. Palermo, it makes me feel like an actual teacher :). After that I taught the lesson about sliding, flipping, and turning an object. These concepts are more abstract and harder for children to understand, so I used large objects for them to visualize it. I think the lesson went well and Madame Garnier interjected a bit with some great ideas. I have learned so much from my mentor teacher. She gives me great ideas for my classroom during the day.   I will definitely be incorporating the morning greeter, in which a student comes up and reads the date and tells us how many days of school we have been to.

After school Colleen and I went over to the Eiffel Tower. We went all the way to the TIPPY TIPPY TOP! It was awesome! we got pictures and everything! After climbing over 700 steps we rewarded ourselves with some ICE CREAM! YUM! Then we rushed back to make dinner and get ready for ICE BAR! A whole bar where everything is made of ICE! literally everything, from the bar to the chairs to the cups!

Well we were supposed to be meeting like 12 people there. When we got off the metro we were in a sketchy area where we definitely stood out. We ended up going like 20 blocks to far and were practically running to find this place on the way back. We had to get there by 10 because we had reservations! We literally found it at 9:58 pm! So we paid and went up to go in, and it turns out our whole group wasn't there. Colleen and I still went it and it was so fun! They give you coats and gloves, and you get to go inside for 30 minutes. It was -12 degrees Celsius. SUPER COLD! It is sponsored by grey goose. You get 4 different types of drinks. We have no idea what they were, but the last one was a straight shot. It was super fun and a great experience!
