I was lucky enough to find out my placement details a few days ago. I am honored to be placed in a grade 1/2 split at Park Lawn Junior Public School. I am extremely lucky because it is only a 5 minute bus ride from my condo. Grade one is actually the grade I have always dreamed of teaching. I am looking forward to the challenge. Even though this is my second placement I am still as worried and nervous as I was for my first. I am worried about not being able to connect with the students and the students not liking me. I am worried because I am a stranger coming into their classroom. With my first placement it was still a relatively new classroom, with this placement the students are used to the teacher. I would love any tips anyone has out there tips to either teaching a split class or just teaching grade one or grade 2 it would be appreciated. I would love any advice I can get. I am excited to start, but nervous at the same time.
