Thrilled
Thrilled
To give great pleasure; delight.
This cold and chilly fall day marks my first day as being a student teacher in Winnipeg's inner city - and I loved it! How exciting it is to do something that I'm completely passionate about! I showed up to realize that I was placed with a grade 4-5 split class. The school itself is really cool, old and "charactered", the teacher is fantastic, the kids are fun and I just felt at home.
The kids themselves seem to be more than handfuls. Their attention spans are no longer than a Tide commercial but many of them have already found a place in my heart. They come from all types of backgrounds and they demand a lot of patience and attention, but for some reason I'm eager to give them just that.
It took me a while to understand where I was supposed to be, what I was supposed to study and where my gifts were to be applied, but what a joy to have finally found it! I am looking forward to this teaching placement and so much more to the reality of one day having my own class!
Had to share the joy!
