When December came...

...my first concern was the Major Teachers' Training Programme. It was the last part where for three days we would focus on microteaching. The seminar took place on two days after all and I presented my microteaching "The Owl and the Pussy cat"  which went very well. I also enjoyed attending the rest of the participants.
And tried to take some pics as usual.

 I used Marabeth's gift to carry my things and it attracted lots of attention from the English teachers who loved to have one  too!!!!!

Then I started decorating for Christmas....
added some fairy lights on my sea glass...

 ...and on my big table...I laid the woven fabric I saved from the school crearance, I put the Italian candy cane vase horizontally because the cloth I covered the table with is not even and I was afraid it might fall...

 ...I put the IKEA  red lantern with more fairy lights, the blue pomegranate that cut my finger, some painted pine cones and Margie's crocheted stones in a plate that was a gift of students years ago...

 ...I added lights to the fantastic driftwood boat that my friend's boyfriend made for me...

 ...and of course the red typewriter and the pots of plants are there too...

The Owl and the Pussy-cat.

Yesterday was a hectic day as immediately after school I had to attend my Major teachers' training programme till 8 in the evening and then had to go to my Drama Club rehearsal. And today from 9.30 in the morning till late in the afternoon I attended my second Major Teachers' Training Programme and also presented my own Microteaching. It was based on The Owl and the Pussy-cat by Edward Lear. I really loved making it and enjoyed presenting it, too.
Here is the poem from the book I used. I cannot show you the powerpoint presentation unfortunately.
