Well this is the beginning of a new journey that I am hoping will add to my continued journey as an intermediate teacher. I really consider myself a life long learner, as I encourage my students to be, and as such I spend a lot of time reflecting on my teaching and my experiences with my students.
I am a 6th year teacher, though have had a class for 4 years. The first two years of my teaching career were spent doing the dog's breakfast job in a school which included, resource support, ESL instruction, aboriginal student support and covering classroom teacher's non-instructional time. Currently I am teaching grade 5 and 6, though I have taught grade 4 as well. I love this age group because I love their curiosity about the world and the depth in which you can cover material. They are in that gap between kid and teen and they are just discovering who they are as people.
In this blog, my hopes are that I can explore some of my new ideas, tell how some new initiatives are working and share things that I think are working well. Thanks for reading!
