Wearing in shoes

I was back to teaching today (finally)! I substituted for a grade 2 class at Jack Kemp School here in Lloyd. I had definitely forgotten how tiring the younger students are. I think I would much rather take on the older classes then deal with the "high maintenance" little ones. It is so ironic too that I am finding the older students to be more enjoyable. I started my education career training in Early Childhood Development and even did most of my University placements in grades 1 and 2. I love the conversational ability that the older students have as well as their 'funky' personalities as they begin to figure out who they are as individuals. I am however, grateful for the blessing it is to teach any age. The school was great and the staff friendly, I do miss having my own students though and really feeling like I belong. It was a good day... but man am I tired.

Note to self.... wearing in new shoes as a teacher is really atrocious. You never get to sit.
