I have recently secured a new full-time position as a Primary School Teacher, and tomorrow I'm going to make my third visit. My first was for the interview, where I taught 7 of my future charges while being observed by the teacher I'm replacing (who's off to have a baby). They all seemed nice children, but freakishly quiet.
My second visit was to fill in all the paperwork and see the classroom, but tomorrow I am going to meet the whole class for the first time. At the moment, I feel excited and nervous in equal measure. First impressions are important. I'm sure I'll come back really looking forward to Jan 5th, but at the moment, the unknown nature of everything means natural anxiety does kick in from time to time.
I'll be doing my best to conquer that, and hopefully in the coming months, this will become a place for me to record frustrations, successes and amusing anecdotes from this crazy journey.
I'll let you know how things go...
