It's Begun!

I'm so relieved that we're finally in the schools, actually doing things now! At this point I haven't had too much opportunity to teach, partly because my sponsor teachers weren't told I was coming! But this is an observational time, so I guess I'm just doing what I'm supposed to be doing anyway!

I've been really pleased with how well welcoming the school has been, and the students have been very friendly and open with me. I'm feeling as though I'm being a little bit thrown into the deep end, though, as I'll be chaperoning and leading workshops on their 3 day band trip this weekend! I definitely wasn't expecting anything like that to come out of this short practicum, but I'm so thankful that my sponsor teachers have invited me along, and they're happy to have me help with workshops. It'll definitely be a great way to have me get to know the kids right away!

How is everyone else's practicum going?
