Here i have found a blog of a primary school teacher from the Midwest, named Mrs K. She shares many great stories of her classroom experiences and offers a wide variety of tips and tricks of the teaching profession You can definitely see from her blog posts how passionate she is dedicating her life to the needs of her students. A very inspiring read!

This is a primary school teacher whom i know personally. She began her career as a teacher soon after graduating high school - a dream job for her. Years later in her life she took a break from the classroom to run a family business. She has now done a complete 360 and has put her teaching hat back on once again. She quotes: "Well after having my first day back in the classroom I am SO HAPPY because I know I am doing the right thing for me. I had a wonderful day and I now know how much I actually missed being a teacher. Today was a big step in a new chapter that involves lots of learning for me but I am doing that through fresh and keen eyes and I am very excited!!" This woman is very inspiring and easily someone you can lean on for support. An asset to any classroom or workplace!

An Australian Prep/Year 1 teacher with an interest in integrated ICT, children's literature and the role of developmental play in early childhood education.

I've linked my friends Instagram page because she posts some great photos about her experiences teaching prep and some of the stresses and highs and lows that she endures throughout her teaching experience

Interesting read as this teachers shares her trials and tribulations as a newly graduated teacher, something I have concerns about myself. 

Sharing Teacher blog - good for a laugh!

I like the way she describes her job- loves the kids but struggles with the job. This is interesting to me because I feel the same (don't know if it I for the same reasons) because I whole- heartedly believe in diversity and the individual child BUT I also know/ have seen how strict and institutionalised schools remain to be and this often gets in the way of the kind of teacher I thought I could be. It is interesting and worth thinking about though because I am sure we all want to help each child as much as we can but lack of time, resources and 'the halo effect' will get in the way at some point.
