First day of Placement

I was very nervous to be placed in a grade six class. To me this was a very intimidating grade. They are big, and know so much. However when I walked into the classroom, my associate teacher was very welcoming. The students were well behaved and I was able to help them in their math, language and religion. I was afraid that since they are an older grade I would not know how to complete some of there work, which in hindsight is ridiculous since I have been in school for 20 years. I have a degree in physical education, and minor in biology and I’m almost done teachers collage. I think that this is a common feeling among people in our counselling group that were in primary first. Change is always difficult but we must be confident in ourselves and know that we can do a good job. I’m happy with my grade six class. It will be an adjustment from my grade 2 class. But I feel that this will be a good experience and I will learn a lot from my associate teacher!
