"Teacher! Teacher!" Lasts days at Lynedoch

I just finished my last week teaching and learning at Lynedoch Primary School and I don't think it has hit me yet.

I will no longer be heading to the train station twice a week. Listen to people sing as they get off the train in droves. I won't get to listen to my 6th graders about their new crushes while I get coffee in the morning. No more dog piles from the 1st graders at lunch and home cooked lunches from my professor's mom. No more "teacher! teacher!".

To be honest, there were many hard times. Teaching a class of 39 6th graders, even with two other knowledge partners, is VERY difficult. But as time goes by, you get to know your learners better. You learn that it's okay to have a ten minute dance party spontaneously in class.

Lynedoch has been such a big part of my life for the past few months that it just feels odd to say goodbye. It is odd to say goodbye to something that is going to keep on effecting you for years to come.

  Luckily, my LSCE class is going to come back to visit during finals so I don't have to say goodbye just yet.
