One of the things I have noticed over the past week is that my initial concerns about returning to βcasualβ teaching were actually some of the things that are most exciting. Iβve managed to teach across multiple grades and classes and really test my repertoire of teaching skills, whether that be teaching the content K-6, classroom management in new contexts, or gaining a working rapport with new faces. Iβve actually found it quite invigorating and affirming!
I always loved taking ‘extras’ when I was Daily Org. There was something exciting about continually walking into new classrooms and exploring learning with students of all ages.
