My former Co-op Teacher

I was cleaning my room today and I was taking a few trips down memory lane when I came across stuff that I was putting away or throwing way.

One of these things were all my journals that I wrote when I was taking Co-op in high school. This was about ten years ago. My co-op teacher was Ms. Stewart, Helen Stewart. Unfortunately, she is no longer with us today, because she lost her battle to cancer about five years ago.

While I was cleaning, I sat down and reread my journals that I wrote when I was doing my co-op placement in a K-8 school. She was already making comments to me about the world of education, and after she has 20 years of experience. However, these comments only make so much more sense now since I started teaching!

Thank you Ms. Stewart for being my Co-op teacher. The comments you made on the journals (and I read them!) were quite insightful. Especially now since I have stepped into the world of teaching myself!
