I had so much fun teaching this morning. I think I had really forgotten how much I enjoyed it and I also think I enjoyed it because I was ready and everything has come together so easily and conveniently that I believe this is the right thing for me to do this year.
I had to smile to myself though, one of my first questions was a typical TCK one: "How long are yougoing to be our teacher?" When I said, "probably the whole year" the class visibly relaxed and obviously felt it was worth investing in relationship with me! The other thing that the whole class visibly reacted to in a positive way was when I told them I had taught IGCSE English before. They were expecting a cover teacher who knew next to nothing about how to teach the subject.
Naomi had a shortened session in preschool and was very happy. Bev has done a great job of setting up the room and has got loads of new resources and toys and has created a stimulating environment with lots of fun things lined up for this year. And I do not miss it at all : ) I think it will be great for Naomi to be in there without me.

That is so positive and I am so glad that you have settled into teaching again, I really know that it is God's gift for you as it is something that you have wanted to do since you were 5 Mums remember these things and keep them in their hearts. I love you Mum xxx
Wow; everthing changes. Maybe everything must change and we get too settled in our ruts. Growing up is not easy but vitally neccesary! It is good that you are having this oppurtunity before HA it could help to make going back more focussed for you?
Now we all have to be on our guard again as the English teacher make sher mark.
