Last Day of Block I

Well the Block one has come and gone and it was not easy to say goodbye to the students. I had such a great grade 3 class and couldn't have asked for a greater class in which to start my teaching practicums. Although creating lessons and fitting in everything that needed to get done was stressful at times, the students really made it all worth while.

Saying goodbye had to have been the hardest part of the block. Despite only teaching the students for a month, I felt that I made a connection with many of them. During the last period of the day after the desk clean-up and class clean-up for parent interviews night, my grade 3s had a special surprise for me. They had all written a goodbye/thank you card for me. Not only that, but they all read their cards to me as well. How can you leave such a great class...

The lesson I have learned from my students and my associate teacher will stay with me as move on in my endeavours. I will never forget my first teaching block with my grade 3s!!!!
