How I did it
How to make my final teaching placement my best yet
It took me
2 months
It made me
mixed emotions

How I did it: worked my ass off!! I had a mighty hard class and with all of the paper work oon top I was sooo tired!  I just kept on going and trying eevery method I could to get the kids to do what I wanted them to do and I got there in the end!For my own teaching I guess you learn from experience. I kkept evaluating what I had done and improved on it the next time!I don't feel that I have taught them a great deal as I have had to focus on the be… Read how I did it…

How to see Niagara Falls
It took me
1 day
It made me
amazed

How I did it: This was kind of squashed into our trip because we wanted to see it. We were in Los Angeles and took a red eye flight from there is US Airlines! The flight was a nightmare!! We flew from LA - Las Vegas, Las Vegas - Charlotte, Charlotte - Buffalo. We were then picked up by a friend and driven to Niagaraa Falls. I didn't realise that Buffalo was actually quite far away.Niagara Falls was amazing! By faaaar the best part of the trip! me being… Read how I did it…

How to meet the Naked Cowboy
It took me
5 days
It made me
recognise randomness

How I did it: I have seen him twice now! The first time was in 2007 when I was travelling with Meghan! We weren't sure where abouts he stood and we never really bothered looking for him! On our last day we decided we wanted to see him. We asked some random guy where he would be and he pointed across the road and there he was! We felt mega stupid! I mean how can you miss a half naked man standing in the middle of Times Square?!! We didn't actually get t… Read how I did it…

yeeeessss!! 3 days ago

I’m finished!! My report was great too so I guess even though it has been a mighty tough placement as in demanding kids…I have still gone out on the high I wanted to go out on!

I am pleased with how it has gone and although the kids were tough the school was good and the staff were amazing! It’s the first time I have felt like part of the teaching staff rather than the student!

I was really hoping to get some supply there til I get sorted with a teaching job..and the school have said that they will have me back, but my stupid CRB needs to be updated so not sure if it’s going to be possible before Christmas but I have my fingers crossed!

I should be thrilled that it’s all over but to be honest I’m really not! I’m sort of feeling that I have worked hard and have nothing to show for it as I have no teaching job at the minute due to lack of jobs! I’ll get there though – the hard part is over!!

Giving up! 1 week ago

I have decided that I actually don’t want to do this! No matter how I feel about everything that has happened, writing this would mean I was just doing it with a goal of hurting people, which would make me just as bad! I don’t want to do this and I want to move on rather than be bitter so I have decided not to do this!

Make my final teaching placement my best yet (read all 3 entries…)
OH MY GOD! 2 weeks ago

What a crappy day! I had 2 observations today and they were a nightmare! My first maths lesson wasn’t too bad but my Literacy was shocking! I actually had 2 kids fighting in my lessons! ARGH! My class teacher claimed that it wasn’t too bad but I’m soo not convinced!

Problem is…I really want to finish off on a good-outstanding level. I’ve been told that I’m working at good at the minute…but I feel like I’m constantly battling with the behaviour and I don’t actually get around to the teaching part because I’m constantly going at the behaviour.

They really are the hardest class that I’ve had on placement as they are so demanding but I guess I’m dealing with it…I just don’t feel like I am sometimes. Apparantly every teacher feels like that though! I suppose every teacher has some bad days as kids are so unpredictable so I just have to get on with it and hope tomorrow is better
