I’m sitting here reflecting on my last year of school. I found it hard in some ways but I also found it really rewarding. I was able to work with a teacher I had worked with the year before for 6 weeks. Then she had a student teacher and I got moved into a Grade 1 class to help out mainly two children who were really low in their work. I would teach them literacy. I had never worked with the teacher in that room and instantly we worked so well together. I love that she was a Christian as well. We worked amazingly together and I loved working in her room.
Just as I was getting in the groove of that class I was moved back to my original classroom but I was still able to work with the two children I had been working with. I loved that. I did that for 3 months then I got moved to a whole other Kindie class one that I had never worked with that teacher. I knew none of the kids either. It was like starting all over again at the beginning of the year. I worked into my schedule the two boys.
I also got to read everyday with two different children 15 minutes everyday after my lunch. It’s amazing how that 15 minutes makes all the difference. I got changed to another class it was nothing to do with me but another person. I guess I was the best choice for the class. I fell in love with the children and then the year was done. That’s tough but I got to know many children this year and work with amazing teachers. I love the teacher I had. Loved how she ran her classroom. I get to work with her again next year. Hopefully I can stay for the whole year.
Even though there was so much change I realized that I was able to help lots of teachers and I do know they appreciated all that I brought to their classrooms. I found I shone. I learned so much about myself that there’s nothing that I can’t do and I loved the challenge.
I love how God uses you no matter where you are in life. I realized that I love this school so much and that I have many good relationships with families and teachers. ❤️
