I just recently found out that my out of region placement was accepted, which I am so excited about. The school I will be teaching at is in a small community called Port Syndey just outside of Huntville. It's also only 10 minutes from my parents house so it will be nice not having such a long commute. Although I have become used it!!!!
I will be teaching a grade 1/2, another combined grade, which I am also happy about as I feel the more experience I have with combined grades the more comfortable I will be when the time comes that I will be teaching my own combined class. This will also be an asset to my resume.
As I completed my first block in a grade one class, I am interested to see the growth and development of students at this age. My previous associate told me that there is significant growth in grade one students as the year progresses. In fact, she commented several times that when they come back after Christmas it is like a completely new class, as the students have matured and finally understand (get) the routine of school.
I am very much looking forward to observing this development, as well as just the whole experience in itself.
