Day 1 - I'm a teacher!
So day 1 in the classroom.. officially done! I'm Ms. VanderDeen now and my students are just wonderful. It felt amazing to finally put a face to my lessons and get an idea of what they're really capable of and who they are!
I just can't get over how much of a difference it made! It's real life now!
Being in front of them also has a sobering affect - I sat at the back of the room and watched my TM and thought to myself... in 2 short months, That will be ME! Am I ready for this? Will I know what to say? How to answer questions?
I think I've come to the conclusion that at this point the only way for me to really learn, is to do! So when that day comes I will be ready for it! I mean... there is only so much practicing on your classmate one can do!
Either way... the excitement has started. I can't wait to get started.
