Week 2 Journal

This placement is what I expected because I am working at a school as a teacher assisstant, and I think I am titled in doing the right work for maybe my future career choice. I enjoy my placement because I get to see somewhat of the same teachers and students each week, so I'm not everywhere around the school. Two tasks that I like doing is helping the kids out of they need any help, or even marking spelling, math, or anything for the teacher. I think the teachers like me, due to the fact that I am polite to them and their students, and I don't mind doing anything for the teacher.
Situations that made me feel good were when I have to help the children make either a seesaw, swing or slide out of only tape and constrution paper. I liked helping them becasue in return I got lots of hugs in the end, and they even rememebered my name. To the kids I am named as Ms. Karolina, or Ms. K, its hard for them to remember or even pronounce my last name so I asked the teachers to introduce me to them as one of those names above.
I really enjoy my placement and the people I work with. I have asked many teachers on how they got to were they are now, and usually they answered me with taking Teacher's College. And I would also need the most of out volenteering or helping out with kids anywhere.
This whole week made me lose some hours due to the weather, but hopefully I will make up for them in the end.
