Information for Julie's Class re Teaching Practice student

Dear parents,

For the next four weeks, Darragh, a final year student in Marino Institute of Education will be completing his Teaching Practice with the class. He’ll be following the Senior Infant curriculum under my supervision. Darragh has already had prior teaching experience in several other schools. Darragh started today, and is really looking forward to working with the children over the next few weeks. Any thoughts or comments, as always please feel free to contact me on belmayneetjulie@gmail.com.

Kind regards,

Julie
