College essay help on teaching elementary school from an insider’s perspective

I recently finished my first week as an elementary school teacher and I honestly now understand why people say that teaching is difficult - no matter the year group. These last seven days have felt like a lifetime, but I feel very settled already and I am keen to progress with my wonderful class!

The principal of the school did not give me much time to prepare (just over a week) for my first grade class, as I only knew I was teaching the first grade when he told me. So I spent the week before frantically pulling together a classroom that I thought was welcoming and positive. I left all of the walls bare so they could be filled with student work like most other teachers do- like potato prints and cute pictures!

I was incredibly nervous on the morning of my first day, and yes I know, the students have only just left kindergarten. But I know that I am one of the first concrete role-models, or some-one outside of the family to look up to. And I really did not want to spoil my big chance. As it so happens, when the children first arrived their nerves were written all over their faces and this let me discard my own concerns and concentrate on making them all feel better! We did all the usual things at first – I introduced myself and talked about the school and the class-rules. We had a little school tour, read a book and did a few activities which let the students start to get to know each other. I gave them all sticky name tags, which they though they wore to learn each others’ names. But of course it was only so I could remember their names – something which I have never been very good at!

One innovation that I’m quite proud of is me giving the students my role model essay, which I wrote in early school. The material provoked blank looks from the students, but my colorful pictures were enough to keep their attention and I told them that they would be writing much better than this- sooner rather than later! I also wrote a my favorite place essay at school and things like this helped me get the children’s imaginations firing by getting them to talk about their favorite places and things, which I could then draw on the board and use to begin spelling exercises.

This week has gone by in a flash and I am sure that as the next few weeks go by just as quickly, I will see the children develop their skills quickly and they will no doubt be writing “my first day at school essay” in no time!
