This week I start my third practicum for teaching! I would have started today, but Family Day is a holiday for Ontario schools, so I start tomorrow. For the next three weeks I’m going to be a grade 1 teacher!! I’m really excited about it. Grade 5 and 6 were great, and I had a lot of fun, but I love the younger kids and I’ve been waiting for a primary placement. Oh, and the teacher that I’ve been placed with is a fellow ECE! She too was a daycare teacher before becoming an elementary school teacher. I talked to her on the phone last week, and she sounds amazing.
