I am nearly finished my observations now in my school. I have second class again this year. I am in a DEIS band 1 school. I have 27 girls in my class. I have never laughed in a classroom quite as much. I will find it so hard to leave this school. The girls are all great and the things they say are so funny.
The girls were very excited that I was going to be teaching them. These girls wouldn't have any luxuries, they're from a poor part of Dublin, the fact that a student teacher picked their class to teach in was thrilling to them. I get cards from these girls telling me that they love me, and pictures of me and them with flowers and fireworks and hearts telling me that they love me. When the class are doing a task, I walk around and offer help to those who are struggling. When I do help, the girls light up and are so grateful. The hugs are endless.
Placement takes up so much time and is a lot of work but when you see a child light up and give you a hug because you've sat with them and helped them write the letter 'G' over and over, it's makes it all worthwhile !
