Semester two kicked off to a good start!

Due to a family bereavement i was absent from college last week so this week was my first week back in college for semester two. Thankfully it got off to a good start as our exam results were announced yesterday. The majority of students were pleased with their results.

A new module on this semester's schedule is Special Educational Needs which i think will be very insightful. I feel it is important to learn as much as possible in this area this year as so many students are diagnosed with different learning difficulties in our schools. It will be interesting to see if the lecturer's show us suitable methods to teach these students in a mainstream classroom. It is definitely something which i would like to learn more about as i find it very difficult to provide activities in a class to cater for every student's needs.

School is as busy as ever, with the mocks finishing for Leaving and junior cert. students tomorrow. We are getting our mid-term break tomorrow for a week which i'm really looking forward to, although it seems no length since the Christmas holidays! Hopefully i'll get a chance to work on my webquest and powerpoint presentation and my SPHE assignment during this week.
