This morning I had a great talk with my mentor. We talked about my blog and how I am feeling about my time so far. I have learned so much in these past 3 weeks of prac. We chatted for a while about the power of a voice in the classroom, about how you can use it to get attention and keep attention in a variety of different ways. I always think I talk way to loud! He gave me a few different examples of how it can be used which I found very very helpful. 

He also said something which I found rather profound/enlightening. Each lesson is a lesson that those learners will never have again. Once its done its done. There is no going back or revisiting. WOW. Such a good realisation for me, this is no game. This is educating the next generation. Every lesson that I teach needs to be well planned, well resourced, organised. I owe it to my students to give them the best lesson, every time.
