Teaching practice - DAY 1!

Wow..5hours on a bus, travel sickness, stressed bus driver, four near crashes, 2hour late-ness, mean teachers! Sometimes I wonder why I bother, is teaching REALLY what I want to do..??

In a class with p3/4's .. hearing them shout 'Miss Murray' .. getting asked questions (i.e. have u ever seen a monkey smoke?!) .. seeing them get excited when they understand something, watching their faces as I read a story .. having the chance to impact on their little lives! YES I'm sure it's what I want to do.

I'm gonna be a teacher and I'm so excited!!

I guess the bus journeys is the price I have to pay!! Grrr...

Quotes of the day...
"My aunty goes to the same anniversary as you!"
"Guess what girl i fancy......?? Every single one of them!!"
"Miss Murray are you married?!"
"You're pretty"
"I wish you were my mummy.." - awww, nearly cried at this one!

I've never felt so encouraged!! I love kids...and anyone who said "Oh My Word..WestWinds is so rough, I feel sorry for you going there!!" .. just because they are from different situations; maybe a bit cheeky...or attention seekers; doesn't change the fact that they are special, unique and all deserve love and attention! I heart West Winds!
