A Canadian in America...

14 little munchkins sitting in a room

Okay. Diversity training was interesting...I was the first person to introduce myself, and I was like, Uh, my name is Joanne and this is my third day of work.....everyone else had been with the company at least a month! Oh well, it was still fine. Diversity training was basically training me to be inclusive to the classroom, and accepting all children, teachers and parents. Being diverse is a very important thing to Bright Horizons (the company I'm working for).
Anyhow, so after diversity training, I got to take my break/lunch, and then I was put into ratio until 5:00. It was fun. Basically I came into the room at the beginning of Nap, and nap goes from 12:30-3:00. Normally there would be lots of things to do once the kids all go to sleep, but I mostly tried to get myself acquainted with the classroom, policies, and stuff like that, so the other teacher and I mostly spent the time talking about various things. After nap (it lasted a little longer than 3:00) it was diapering time, snack time, and then outside time. Pretty easy afternoon, I must say! Monday I'm back there, and ready to go. Should be fun!!
Eric and I continued our November 11th tradition of KFC. In case any of you don't know, Eric and I got engaged on Rememberance day three years ago. The night of the planned proposal, Eric said he wanted to go out for dinner, however he really wouldn't pick a place to go, and I didn't really feel like going anywhere fancy-dancy, so I picked KFC. Hahahaha. We at at KFC. So, I brought KFC to Eric while he was at work. Even KFC isn't the same here. Weird.....I had a snackers combo, and I got Eric a Double Crunch Combo. They serve potato wedges instead of fries. They were pretty good though.
Then I went to the gym! What a good girl I am...Eating KFC and then going to the gym almost immediately afterwards! Hahaha......
