Happy Halloween :)

Happy Halloween everybody.

I wish they celbrated Halloween here. I mean they kind of do, but it's not such a big holiday as it is in the US.

Anyway, I found some neat Halloween facts. Thought you guys might like them. Here they are:

 1) All Saints' Day or All Hallow's Eve was and anient Celtic harvest festival. The Irish brought the tradition of lighting candles in turnips on Halloween to keep away the spirits. But since there weren't a lot of turnips in America they started lighting pumpkins instead. Thus the Jack-O-Lantern was born. :)
2) Bobbing for apples was actually done to honor Paomona, the Goddess of Fruit Trees. :)
3) Samheinophobia is a fear of Halloween.
4)  The tradition of Trick or Treating also startedin Ireland, where people would ask for contributions for the Harvest festival.

Well i hope you liked my halloween facts :)

Well, today was the first day it snowed here in Moscow. :) I LOVE snow, it makes me so...so...HAPPY :) And EXCITED. And HAPPY : D Unless it turns in to icky brown slush. That does NOT make me happy.

Other than that life is pretty much the same. You know: school, home work, dance lessons and...just life :) I had this trial algebra exam. I didn't do very well. I didn't fail it, but I was kind of disappointed because there were some stupid mistakes. Out of a total of 38 points I got 17 points. Ugh. But I know all of my mistakes and I hope I don't make the same ones next time :)

Hey Everybody :)

Well, as I told you, I went to visit AAS, a school I am thinking about applying to for next year. IT IS HUGE! Seriously. They have their own pool, tennis courts, soccer fields, gym, dance room....4 labs, two theatres a pretty big library, two cafetirias, a school store, a comuter room. There are more than a 1000 students (from 1st grade to 12th.) I liked it. You could tell that the school has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The parents take a big part in the everyday life of the school and....All in all I got a good impression. AND the high school students get LOCKERS! :) I've always wanted a locker, don't ask, I have no idea why, I've just always wanted one....:}

That's pretty much all that's going on in my life now....I did my exam homework today, there was so much! But I stopped when I started seeing two of everything. :]

Teachers day

Hey guys :)

Well, on Friday I TAUGHT 4TH GRADE!!!!!! It was SO SO SO SO much fun. And they were all so CUTE! :D We started the day with Math :) It was kind of hectic, because, they all did the test/worksheet at different speeds :} Then we took them to breakfeast. Seriously, these are the only kids I know, who don't like cereal! :0 :)

The next lesson was English. That was fun, they turned out to know a lot better than we thought. And they were all eager to play the game Nick and I had brought.

After that they did these worksheets. I told them we would give them a VERY boring task if they weren't calm and if they didn't behave themselves, but I had no idea what that task was. But, thankfully, they were very good children :) There was such an adorable boy :) He is so CUUUUUUUUUUTE! :]

Then we went to our english lesson and after that we went to the concert our school was having...All in all it was a fun day :)

Today.

Hey Everybody :)

Well, as I mentioned yesterday, I went to School 3 today :) It wasn't that bad :) We watched a wildlife movie, then went to the debate. It turned out we didn't get ot debate, there were groups of 11th graders who did that and then we had to ask questions. The debate was pretty interesting, it was about preserving animals and keeping species from extinction. Almost everyone voted for the opposers....They were funnier, I guess....But I liked the proposers speech better :)

Then we painted a flag. We had to pick an animal and draw it on the flag. We had the panda. Since our group was blue, we painted the panda blue instead of black, but then it was the same color as the backround. So in the end we had a green and orange panda with black ears and a yellow and black panda cub, that looked more likea possom. :D It was so funny. There was this guy, he kept on cracking us up. :)

Then we went to their auditorium and listened to a reperesentitive of WWF give a speech about the program and what we can do in general to help save the planet and about all of WWFs campaigns. (I'll talk more about that on my blog I Want To Say... but I'll do that tommorow, if you want to check it out :)

Then we went back to school and finished the day with algebra and russian. And then I went to dance :)

Oh my goodness, tommorow I get to teach 4th graders for half the day :) That should be a lot of fun. But my friend taught them last year and said that some of them went out of control :) But I'm teaching with my classmate, so we should be ok...I hope :P
