I’m sad that my time in the classroom is over. The best part of both the practicum and CFE has been the interactions with the students and seeing them grow in their learning and as a person. At both schools the staff were so welcoming and kind to me. The students are very lucky to have these people as their teachers.

I team taught an undemo for chemistry 11 with my supervisor, the main point being that ions in solution conduct electricity. We had different solutions that were tested with this contraption:

The lightbulb lights up when an ionic solution is tested.

I also helped TOC a drama class. I was so tired after that I took a nap as soon as I got home. Grade 8’s have so much energy. We spent half an hour playing games running around the classroom and the other half they worked on their monologues. I had a lot of fun joining in. It was good practice for the probable future of TOCing before getting my own classroom.
