Block II - A new level
Well today was the day we found out about our new placements...grade 6 it is. My response to this is split. There is EEEK on the one end and YAY on the other. This is not an age group that I have a lot of experience with therefore there are some nerves developing inside me. BUT these nerves are being eased by the comforting words of the students that have been at the school for Block I. They have told me that my associate teacher is an amazing one and that she will be great model for me. Furthermore she is big on TRIBES (one of the seminars from Social Issues Day II), so this will definitely come in handy in my future teaching.

Have fun at your new placement, this school is absolutely awesome, and take full advantage of the resources I am sure your associate will share with you.
Sounds like a lot of people are nervous about teaching in the junior grades, including myself. As many of us are feeling the same way, at least we undersatnd and can share some of our fears.
I think during our placements we should take advantage of being in similar grades and do as Dave suggested....share our resources, as well as our experiences. This also includes our challenges, for it may help someone else who finds themself in a similiar situation.
TRIBES was a great workshop, so I'm glad that your associate is big on that. It should be a good experience for you :)
Good Luck
