I just had to share...

~Tomorrow I start my student teaching in 2nd grade. Long time coming it seems... even though I have years of experience teaching in a Montessori School.

Nonetheless, I have been preparing myself for my day tomorrow, it has been 3 1/2 years since I have been in a classroom full-time 5 days a week. I am ready!

While going through some papers, files and misc. to add in my portfolio when I start applying... I came across many endearing moments, they truly are endless. *sigh* I hope you don't mind me sharing.









I suppose here (org world) is not the only place I am considered sweet.

Teaching is truly my passion, my calling in life... my forever love.

~Here I go... and sweet dreams to you all. You all have truly been a beautiful part of my life, here in the org world.

I wonder if it's too late for me to go back to school?

Awww!!! These drawings are just so wonderful Thanks for sharing them.
Julie! You so deserve this!!! Congratulations, dear lady
Let us know how it goes, ok?

(also, the third picture down really does look like you... minus the yellow eyes )

:HUG:


Have a great first day!

Whay exactly is a Montessori school?

Good luck with tomorrow...I know you will be great!

Keep yourself energized, focused...and love every heaven-sent moment.

It's a philosophy, not a religion (as many believe or think), Maria Montessori began this philosophy in Italy back in the late 1800's. It is individual learning, each child to progress at his/her own rate/level, focusing highly on sensory learning. Meaning, age is not a key factor in Montessori philosophy, it's the readiness or unreadiness of all academic needs and meeting each individual level uniquely.

I agree, it should be the philosophy of all schools, although the difficulty in this fact is the teacher/child ratio. Which is 1:8 in Montessori (private school with a high cost, mind you) and Public 1:24 plus maybe a teacher aide. Big challenges ahead...
