Cannot contain this excitement
I went into this year pretty blindly. Not quite knowing what to expect. I have never been a teacher for more than a couple of hours and boy was that at times challenging. Children can be unruly-I guess also when you haven't learnt how to discipline other peoples children. Yes, I've been in a classroom for many hours but apparently its very different being on the other side of the desk.
Despite my naivety (shall we call it) excitement is starting to build as I think of my own classroom. A classroom with charts that I have made. A classroom full of children who are going to receive love from me on days I feel up to it and on days that I don't. A class that I can encourage and speak life giving words to. A class where I can love the naughty ones and show them the heaven that God has put in them. A class to share my faith with.
I find myself looking at things differently now. I see things from a teachers perspective. Even though I am not qualified as yet. I see containers and I get excited 'cos a container means organisation for me now. It means my children will know where to find crayons. The excitement is building and I can't contain it so I thought I'd write a blog post about it.
