The final week of my pre-internship year is now complete…AWE! Leaving my grade twos this afternoon was extremely difficult and a few tears were shed. This experience has been overwhelmingly positive and encouraging as I near the end of my Teaching Degree. I could not be more grateful for the amazing school, Principal, and Co-operating […]

Two weeks already complete…only one more to go! I knew that these three weeks would go by quickly but I still can’t believe that I am already halfway done! We have had another busy week in grade two as we continued exploring poetry! I wanted to give my little poets a break from too much […]

Hello again! Being back in the classroom is such a wonderful feeling! I have been looking forward to returning to my amazing grade twos to continue learning together. For my three-week block, I decided to teach an ELA Poetry Unit (eek!). Being a pre-service teacher, I really wanted to challenge myself with the subject I […]

After engaging in planning and teaching my first ELA lesson last week and learning some valuable “do’s and don’ts” I was ready to take on ELA again this week!

“This is the BEST math class EVER!” Oh, math. My most despised school subject for 12 years of education. Who would have thought it would take me being in a university math class to finally feel successful in mastering an understanding of math. And to make it even better, I get to take my new […]

Oh Halloween, what a wonderfully chaotic day in our beautiful fall season! I must say how excited I was to be in the school on October 31st. Although I understand the movement towards celebrating as “orange and black” day since not everyone regards the traditions and celebrations of Halloween, I myself was raised to participate […]

During my third week of my pre-service placement, I was ecstatic to be teaching another science lesson. The success I had with the teaching of my first science lesson was definitely motivating me to remain equally as excited to lead another successful lesson. With October 24th being Nation Take Me Outside Day, I knew that […]

“this is my favrite activertyie”  “I love it” As it comes time to begin blogging about my education journey once again, I find myself being more excited than I ever have before. I have to give all the credit to the amazing experience I am having thus far during my pre-internship. I have been placed […]
