I am a former autism teacher. Did you by chance work with that population of kids? I found you at NOBH, but I think I've been here before. I'm following you and hoping to find more great ideas for units!

My brother and his new wife live in AUS and their wedding was back in Oct., but we couldn't make the trip which made me sad. Some people told us to go on the once in a lifetime adventure, but how can you go somewhere when the money just isn't there (or the time, but more the money?)So far and so much $$$$$$$$$ :( Maybe one day.... Thanks for sharing another trip around the world :) Clicked a vote for you!asliceofsmithlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411785385543404159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922109062132237281.post-52685265739031287432012-01-16T11:16:35.729+00:002012-01-16T11:16:35.729+00:00MMMMMMMmmm that looks sooooo good.

We do indeed like Waltzing matilda and in fact there have been calls to have referendums about changing the anthem to that but it is seen by some as the wrong message to portray that we are a bunch of sheep stealers running from the police ...lol!<br />I have never been a huge fan of lamingtons either although they are better in a light roll of dessicated coconut rather than large pieces. <br />We are having a lot of BBQ's now as it is summer here and very hot so not the best weather for cooking!<br />The children's aboriginal art is wonderful...when i taught preschool we used to print off some aboriginal stencils and let the children paint them with cotton tips dipped in paint to make the little dots.<br />I love anzac biscuits and grew up with them in the lunch box and studying the story of the anzacs during the war...the mix also makes a nice slice if you just press it into a tin before baking!<br />I really enjoyed reading the effort you all went to studying Australia....the children would probably also love the song 'kookaburra sits in an old gum tree', i have a pic of a kooka on my blog a few posts back, they have a very distinct song!<br />Sorry for the long comment...really just wanted to say how much i enjoyed your post, can't wait to see what you do with Mexico!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586610467519318424noreply@blogger.com
