What was the best meal this week?:

One of my school placements has a restaurant where students can practice the skills needed to be chefs, waiters or bartenders. Often, I have coffee or a snack there during the recess break. This week, I tried their version of the Spanish Omelette. This is a very traditional Spanish food made with eggs, potatoes, and onion, but the student chefs made it this week with sausage. It was delicious!

What music did I listen to this week?:

I listened to lots of Disney music this week! One of the activities I have been doing with my students is a listening activity where they have the lyrics to a song with missing words in front of them. I play the song for them and they have to fill in the blanks as they listen.
