Yesterday the other Georgia students and I presented in front of 25 headteachers from the Sheffield area.  We talked about the difference in the education systems between the United Kingdom and America.  My topic was about retaining students and behavior management plans including capital punishment in the southern states (aka the paddle).  The presentation went really well, and one of the headteachers asked us to present in front of her staff next Thursday afternoon.  The exciting part, is that two other school decided to host Georgia Southern student teachers next semester.  Since we couldn't place many of the students this semester (there were only 6 spots available), we are really proud of ourselves since more students will be able to experience to England program in the future.

I taught an art and writing lesson yesterday and today.  I had the students make Mum's Day card because their Mother's Day is this coming Sunday.  Each student got a flower that said "I love my mum because..." in the middle.  Then they wrote one reason for every petal of the flower.  Inside the card, they wrote a letter to their mums telling them why they are the best mum in the world.  Then the students rated my lesson with the other teachers in the room.  I got all thumbs ups from the students (yay!)

Tomorrow is our last day in Rainbow Forge for the remaining week and we are leaving for Edinburgh, Scotland Friday morning.  We will be staying there for the weekend.  We are going on a literary pub tour, a haunted tour, and a castle.  Thats all that is planned at the moment.  

I'm trying to post the rest of my Liverpool pictures, but facebook is not cooperating.  Missing you all.

PS The Andy Warhol painting really is titled what I posted yesterday.  I'm not censoring the name because it's art. ok thx Mom :) love you!
