So here it comes, the second week. We have been working on and inquiry based type of learning which puts the students learning more under their control and responsibility. It is very interesting and I am looking forward to seeing how it progresses over the next year.
Anyway not that you all want to know what is happening with my classroom but on the weekend I did get to tour the Burj, it is the 7 star hotel in Dubai.....one word....insane...it is beautiful, crazy expensive and very nice....in a gawdy way. there is over 2000 square meters of gold leaf in the building and wild color schemes that go together well.
the royal suite that we got to go into has it's own 3 butlers on call 24/7 and it is a mere 20 grand US a night to stay there. The hotel itself is amazing work of archetecture and will be one of the marvels of the world over I am sure.
We went on a river cruise on friday night and it was amazing, the AC died in the boat so everyone was soaked with sweat in an hour but the good thing is even the locals were sweating on board so all was good from where I was sitting.
We are starting to settle into a bit of a routine and the pool has definatly been a huge part of it. But being the Dumbass I am, I went out in the pool for 3 hours on thursday tried to stay in the shade and burned the hell out of my shoulders by not wearing any sunscreen, somehow it totally slipped my mind but the local pharmacy gave me some very nice cream to put on my shoulders and atleast i could sleep that night.
not sure what else to say right now, I should be making my classroom great and doing some research into what exactly I will be teacing these students but that will come with time and a lot of effort on my part over the next few weeks.
Anyway you can leave a message for me on here or post a relpy to what I have said if you so choose. or e-mail me at cehegge@gmail.com or find me on facebook and add me as a friend.
take care all,
Curtis
