I had soo many questions walking into my placement on the first. What was my associate teacher going to be like? How many kids were going to be in my grade 2/3 class and what kind of kids were they going to be? How are the other teachers going to treat me?
Many of these questions were answered within minutes of walking into the school. The principal, provided a wonderful tour of the school, not only to get a feel for the layout but also to provide us with information about the staff and to inform me on the activities that were going to be happening while I was there.
Following this, I met my associate teacher. To my surprise, I was no longer in a grade 2/3 split, it was a straight grade 3 class. Although I was looking forward to receiving some experience in a split class, I was ready to meet my class. I was also astonished to find out there were only 20 students in my classroom. I had not seen a class stay with the cap in a few years.
The students were a little apprehensive at first to have a new adult in the classroom but quickly warmed up to the idea. By the end of the day, many students had approached me and were eager for me to get to know them. Overall the first day was a very successful and left me wanting to go back.
