My first day . . .
Mar. 25th, 2004 06:12 amHave you ever gone somewhere totally new and just felt comfortable? That was me yesterday.
I turned up a little early, but had a bit of a wait in the office as my teacher was in a Special Needs meeting. Then my teacher took me over to her classroom, which impressed me a lot. See, it's a small area, fairly crowded, and there's not a whole lot of light inside. But the teacher has managed to create a classroom which is bright, cheerful and easy to work in.
There was about 20 students there yesterday, and my teacher decided that rather than just looking on, it would be a good idea if I actually got in and got my hands on teaching. I was given small groups to work with throughout the day, and my favourite moment was when I taught four grade ones that the word eight begins with an 'e'.
Yesterday the kids were a little wild. There was a change in weather, new people in the school, a show on in the afternoon, some of the kids away on an excursion . . . but still I loved it. I just want to get out there into the classroom now. Right now. Give me a classroom. And kids . . . .
