I am sitting at a small cafe in North Bay (Twiggs) and enjoying looking out the window on this rainy day.
This morning I woke up to get ready for methods class and mathamatics. As a kid growing up ( wait, my whole life haha) I have not grown a liking to math! It has been a subject that I have struggled with and did not get the proper teaching in some grades.
Knowing my "math journey" and what I have learned, I want to educate my future students that learning math is FUN! There are many ways to manipulate math into your lessons, which I think are more effective then sitting down each week and introducing math as a "unit".
When I heard the statement, " Okay class! We are now going to begin our math unit", I froze and was so nervous I would have to make plenty of washroom breaks just to avoid the math lesson (which wasn't a good idea because I was so confused when I got back).
This being said, I am starting to enjoy math! If my dad reads this he will not believe me haha.
Now, I am sitting in Twiggs drinking coffee and getting some assignments done before HOMECOMING this weekend!
Just an FYI: For my kindergarten class I am taking, I am blogging a reflection of each class, so you will see my reflection blogs when you open up to read " My Teachers College Adventures"
ps. Congratulations to Kyle for being a Toyota Employee! I am so proud of him :)
-i'm out!

- I am currently in BEd at Nipissing University. My undergraduate degree was in Recreation and Leisure Studies, concentrating in Community Recreation. I am always up for a challege when it comes to involvement, volunteer work and health, such as fitness. Thanks to my sister Leanne: Education is a major aspect of learning; it is what starts the engine to our futures. People are constantly learning and growing in knowledge and experience. My experience with teaching is changing, still fragile, yet I yearn for an epitome of wisdom, which inspires me to teach primary junior.
