I have an amazing opportunity to be able to do one of my student teaching placements abroad! I will be traveling to Rodney Bay, St. Lucia on October 17th to begin my journey. This blog is all about my teaching adventures I will have while I am there. Currently I am teaching 2nd grade at Glenbrook Elementary in Pulaski, Wisconsin, but from October 17th through December 13th I will be in St. Lucia at The Montessori Centre. I am excited to be immersed in a new culture and learn about their educational system. This will also be a wonderful opportunity for me to become more familiar with the Montessori Method of education. The Montessori Method is child centered, and focuses on a child's natural desire and eagerness to learn. Students work more freely than in a standard classroom, and are guided by their teacher to discover the world around them. I am excited to learn more about this method, and have the opportunity to use it in my own teaching. When my time at The Montessori Centre is up I will be able to bring all of my unique experiences back with me and use them in my own classroom.
I cannot wait to begin this amazing experience and share it with everyone on this blog!
