The hardest year ever!!

My first year teaching:
Our first year may be the hardest year in teaching, even though I made training in schools before this year, but this year has a different taste. I am in class alone responsible for all the students there, responsible for every step, and every word i say. I faced many difficulties in managing the class, grabbing the students' attention, and in letting them focusing with me the whole time. At the beginning of the year i started teaching grades 4 and 6, then after few time i moved to teach KG2, in the upper classes I didn't face difficulty in managing my class, but in the K Gs everything was different. Really the students never sit in their places, they want to stay playing. I worked hard to keep them focusing with me by using stuff and materials that they are interested to look at, such as toys, or puppets. Even I try to keep them happy and enjoying the class, and to never get bored, when i feel they are bored i just stop explaining, and we listen to songs or play a game. With time I feel everything is going better, but sure there is still some difficulties that a teacher may face everyday, wish to pass them, and learn everyday from our own experience.

  1. I like kids very much and I was hoping to teach a KG class but, reading your post is like a warning for me, not to change my mind but to prepare myself more in order to be ready for everything. I think that in a KG class we need to be mothers and teachers, the kids need our care and we need their attention.Thank you for sharing experience.
