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 […]
Pre-Internship
Week 2 of 3
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 […]
Week 1 of 3
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 […]
Read it, write it, stamp it!
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!

Even with my excitement, I was quite nervous and overwhelmed […]

Ms. Frizzle in the Schizzle!
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 […]
Take Me Outside!
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 […]
