Phew!

Well, time flies when you're outragously busy!

I've been to a few lectures, finished my presentations and I'm now in school full time until half term (2 weeks).
I'm teaching my first maths starter on thursday, and teaching a full (35mins) PSHE lesson then too. I've got the teacher's planning for both but have adapted them for my own 'style' - gosh, don't I sound like I know what I'm doing!
Feeling comfortable in class now, and have finally remembered all the kids names, mostly thanks to having a class photo emailed to me over the weekend and writing their names on it, and doing things like Strawberry Sophie (she has strawberry blonde hair) while staring at the face. Also Long Lucy (long hair - I get her mixed up with a short haired girl), and Umbrella Ella - don't know why it worked, but it did!!
I'm happy and confident reading in front of the kids and that's made me feel pretty confident about starting teaching. When asked today 'how about you teach PSHE on thursday (day after tomorrow) I was just like 'okay, fine. I can do that!'
Enjoying myself, and I get a hand drawn bookmark from one of the girls today, which was lovely!
