So the other day I went to visit my future classroom which also included some of the students that I will be teaching. The classroom I will be teaching in is Room 6. I was able to meet my mentor teacher who was really helpful and accommodating. The staff in the school were also the same. The whole school atmosphere was very welcoming. Vibrant, relaxed and seemed to be full of life. I can't wait to contribute to this rural yet forward-thinking school.
The day started of with the junior school dancing which was fun to see. They danced to Cotton Eye Joe and I can go for that by Hall & Oates. I was not hesitant at all to get into it (and sneakily have a laugh at myself).
I was given my teaching contract and my excitingly new teacher's planner which is of course still blank barre the term dates for 2014.
And at the end of my day I got to take some picture of my classroom so that I could imagine and start mentally preparing my classroom. So the following picture I ecstatically get to show you!!!
This is Room 6 as of December 2013:
The Cloak Bay
The tidy & organized teacher's desk
Check out the view from my classroom! Blessed as!
The brilliant and colourful looking artwork produced by the students
As I keep saying I cannot wait to get stuck into my first teaching job. I say that now but I'm sure sometime soon (either term 2 or 3) it might be different. But I will keep that PMA and will not take this job for granted! I love teaching and am looking forward to sharing more and more of my teaching journey with everyone. I'm excited like this kid.
Blessings,
Mr West.
