first one in while

Practicum is going very well. It is quite a challenging school but that is perfect because i want to work on my classroom management skills more. It is great to that I have a very supportive, enthusiastic and very student orientated prac supervisor who is teaching me lots, giving me great advice and encouraging me to take risks. The other great thing about it is watching other teachers and getting some tips. Finally, I like the fact that I have to come up with lesson plans - even though they take forever - it forces you to get out there and be creative - to find something that you and the students will be interested in.

Two more weeks to go and then back to my school for a few days. Then it is the school holidays. Hopefully I will be able to update this site with some of my useful sources from the practicum and generally catch up on my life - and prepare for the next challenge - teaching in Term 2.
