I've been teaching lovely P1/2 at Beauly for 4 weeks now, and thought it time I gave you an insight into the world of an early level teacher. Here are some favourite quotes/moments from my lovely little ones:
"Can I water the mountain?" Translate: Can I go to the water fountain?
We were going around the circle saying our favourite fruits. I ask, "What is your favourite fruit?" Answer: "Cornflakes."
Talking about our holidays: "I went to another country. I went to Oban (West Coast of Scotland)"
One child lost his shoe. We found it, inside a book on the bookshelf. Why didn't we look there first????!!!! Next day I saw him walking around with a book in one hand, shoe in the other....makes sense now......
The children line up outside the door and I ask each whether they are having a school dinner, packed lunch or going home for lunch. They then blu-tack their name on the correct area of the chart on the door. Trouble is when they think this is deciding time: "I want to go home for lunch." Me: "Yes, but did Mummy tell you that you were going home?" Sigh!!
All in all though, I'm enjoying the challenge of P1/2, and realising too how much I've changed in my approach to teaching. There are some difficult children in the class, but we are getting there! I'd love to post some photos, but any with children wouldn't be allowed online. I'll see if I can take some of the classroom and add to this post sometime.
Aside from teaching, I've been enjoying what seems like an extended summer:

Yesterday was another beautiful day, which was wonderful since it was Pete and Selina's wedding! I worked with Selina at the cafe so it was great to be a part of their day. Silly me forgot my camera so i will have to wait until I can steal some other people's photos before posting more. It was a wonderful day though and the bride's dress was amazing!
More photos later....God bless!
