Kia Ora!
I have started this blog so I can keep you up to date on what I'm doing in New Zealand. I am currently living in Whitford, New Zealand (approximately 20 mins. East of Auckland). I thankfully am getting along very well with my host family! My host family is Claire and Alistair Simpson, and their kids, Sean and Charlotte. I also have my own room and bathroom down in their basement, so I have my own space as well.

Claire teaches at my placement school, so I get to ride in with her every day to school. I am placed at Howick Primary School, where I teach in a Year 2 (1st Grade) classroom. My cooperating teacher and students are absolutely amazing. My teacher has helped me a lot with planning and has made me feel comfortable with taking over parts of the classroom. The students are so smart and their curriculum is more advanced than what we have in the states. I am going to gradually start taking over the classroom over the next couple of weeks.
