It has been awhile since my last blog...sigh! Last week I spent my first full week back at school teaching a Year 1 class. Sheesh - I had forgotten how totally draining teaching can be. On the upside the class was great and the teacher well organised. She left me a wonderful letter asking me to treat her class the way I would my own.... I thought that was lovely. The interesting thing with this class is that they are using mind maps. I saw them develop two mind maps over the week and it was fabulous to see that quite a few have grabbed a hold of this idea and run with it. Others are having trouble getting their ideas down on paper and a few of them are looking at it as a separate activity, not related to anything else that they are doing in the classroom. Oh, to have more time with that class.......
Due to my week of work, my TL studies took a backseat as I was expanding on lessons that the teacher left me and doing extra preparation at home. So, now having to jump back into it and juggle assignment work too. I need a holiday! :)
