Last week before last placement

Well, the time has come. Time to pack up my bags for an exciting 6 weeks of teaching grades 4/5 in  Cambridge! I am looking forward to this placement and learning more exciting education ideas from teachers and students!

This week is crazy for school but I can tackle through it. The good thing is, I am on my way to successfully  become a certified teacher.

Check List:
-OCT documentation (process)
- Portfolio (done!)
- Resume and cover letter (done!)
- Met awesome people and gained tons of experience (CHECK!)

This year has been amazing! My Bachelor of Education has taught me so much, as well as, my placement in a grade 2 class. Even though I have 6 weeks of placement and 4 weeks of classes, it is soon coming to an end...CRAZY!

Well here is a quick update! I will see all my family and friends in 3 days!

Inspiring Book

If anyone ever gets a chance to read this book, it's very inspiring!!

"A Chance to Shine " by Steve Seskin and Allen Shamblin

Teachable moment

One of the students in my class always had his fingers crossed. One day I walked up to him and asked him why he always had them crossed. He told me, " Miss. Eichel, I really want you to teach me next year and I know how tough it is to get a job. This is why I have my fingers crossed. I will wait until the year you teach me!"

This was a moment that makes me believe that teaching is a reward and opportunity to learn from children!

Enjoy your evening :)
