Anyways today work took us out to a private school in the Ravens Wood area (essentially part of EPA). It was so encouraging and really fun. I learned so much in just that hour, and i'm glad BCM took us there right before we finished our room decorating and class rules. There were a few things that I realized when I was watching these 2nd graders...
1. I have forgotten how much 2nd graders know! I think after 2 1/2 years of teaching preschool/kindergarten Sunday school iv'e become accustomed to that age level thought process.
2. You really don't need a whole lot of rules for 2nd graders. They are smart enough to know what is appropriate and inappropriate (Well, at least the kids at this school).
3. 2nd graders are just adorable! They are so full of energy to learn and play. <3
4. I REALLY will need to rely on Christ to strengthen me for being a teacher this summer!
There is SO much more to teaching. You are more than just a person who stands up in the room and gives a lecture but more of a role model, a friend, and possibly the only person who may be showing love to these kids, yet alone Christ love.
Ok so here are some pics of my class room. It's slowly but surely coming together! ;)
My class room. It's shared so its very small
