Montessori Teacher

Wow it's been a while since I last blogged and I would like to blame my new job for that.
I started working as the montessori teacher and am honestly loving it!
It is definitely tiring and by tiring I mean mentally (not physically). By the end of the day your brain is numb and stops functioning.  What tires me are not the questions in fact they are the most creative and interesting questions that actually make you think of an answer that is true and can be told in a context that they understand. What tires my mind is them constantly calling out your name every second of the three hours that I am there for (As I'm only working part-time). As much as I love my job and enjoy working with the young, new generation explorers; I've started to hate my name.
For any one who is studying to become a montessori teacher DO NOT change your mind; you will with time get use to the goods and the bads and will become the super heroes in the eyes of the little ones. (They always think you know everything!)
It's been an interesting journey; in less than a year it has taught me lots of patience and most importantly  the ability to understand kids and that sometimes they are too allowed to get their way around as long as it's safe to do so.
