Week one is finished and it has been a very full on week so I am glad the weekend has arrived.
Monday started off great, children were all settled and responded well to the behaviour systems that I implemented into their class. I only had 14 children so that made things a lot easier. We began by several names games which were mainly for my benefit to help me learn and pronounce names correctly. Children are all lovely kind hearted kids. Had first staff meeting after school; beginning to see the systems the school has in place.
Tuesday began with bible in-schools which I found really interesting to see how the class responded to another teacher/adult in the classroom. Some showed their true colours which came out from that day onwards. Today was spent on team building activities and setting up a positive classroom environment. Had meeting with Kristen after school and received some information on upcoming release days etc.
Wednesday and Thursday were much the same, I set up several routines in the class which the children responded well to. Have noticed I have a lot to learn in terms of school procedures. Class have started to push the boundaries which is what I had expected. Had to jiggle daily schedule due to power potentially being out.
Friday was a catch up day to finish off our activities from the week and reflect on how we went. We also set goals as a class and individuals which we will revisit at the the end of term 3. Also went to school assembly which was very short and sweet. Was observed from a teacher outside of the school and received some positive feedback which was a great lift.
To sum up the week it has been good, however I look forward to knowing all the routines and ways off the school to make my weeks easier.
