Second Week at Brock

Although, I’ve just technically experienced my second week at Brock, it’s actually my first week of getting to know my professors, and the numerous assignment due dates. This week was definitely more overwhelming than the first! Throughout all my schooling, I don’t think I have ever been so focused on starting assignments in advance and by the end of the second week. I just know, if I don’t budget my time accordingly, I’m going to feel even more pressure closer to the due date. It’s a given that the program is a lot of work! I hope I can get away without doing all the readings!! I know the majority of my time will be spent on assignments and not readings; it’s just the nature of school.

I’m pleasantly pleased with my placement at Dixie. It’s certainly a lot closer to home than Hamilton. I have yet to experience a grade 4 class! A friend of mine, said in her opinion grade 4 is the best grade of all. I’m looking forward to the new experience.

A little note to my fellow teacher candidates,
“Take care of yourself; eat healthy, exercise and sleep! Let’s support and help each other when we can!! This program is not a competition, we are all in it together”

Good job on the snacks, especially the chocolate cupcakes with icing, this week during Counselling Group!!

My First Week at Brock

I'm excited to start yet another school year. The counsellors at Brock are wonderfully helpful. I look forward to start learning how to create lesson plans. Next week I will find out my placement..very exciting.

Until then,
