Educators with PRIDE Unite

Well, I think I'm almost ready to say quite loudly "AAARRRGGGHHHH"! lolol I'm an early years specialist but I'm in a second language Grade 1 class this year. I've never taught children to read. I've never taught phonemic awareness. I've never taught so many kids to stop picking their nose. Yup, I am seeing the humour in some of my everyday activities but at the end of the day I feel so unsure about 'how I'm doing' as I know 'how and what I'm teaching' is the correct method.

I work with an awesome team - 5 educators for 270 first graders in groups of 30. Its a 'big' undertaking and at times very overwhelming. I guess I'll 'know' if I'm successful when the students are finally tested near the end of June. Until then, I'm going to enjoy every little hug I receive. And not worry about it.
