My sincerest apologies for neglecting my blog these past few months. I will admit I have written a number of things however I was just not sure they were post-worthy.
Life these days includes becoming accustomed to substitute teaching which, while rather frustrating in terms of waiting and wondering, is magically wonderful. I love getting to see so many students in different classroom environments and to experience the many different ways that teachers approach their craft. I am learning so many lessons every day. Having spent a marvelous week with a grade 2 class I learnt just how high energy lower elementary is and how amazingly adorable the creative imaginations of 7 year olds can be. I even had one cutie a few months back who wished to be called 'sweetie' instead of his real name, because he felt like it would make him work harder (How much cuter can you get). I guess my biggest realization to date is that it feels right. Something just 'clicks' when I walk in a classroom. :)
Stay tuned for more lessons learned and observations.....
