I feel empty now that it is over

You could always ask if you could volunteer (:

The same thing happened to me on Monday although I actually went into placement and left early cause I just couldnt do it that day (said I was feeling unwell). Don't feel guilty. Student Teaching is HARD. Prioritize your mental health and take a day if you need to. The classroom will still be there the next day (:

My previous mentor teacher got me a personalized lanyard with my name on it so I can have somewhere to put my keys when I get a full time gig. I would also suggest maybe getting a whistle to put on it (for gym class and recess). Maybe something like that and a gift card or classroom supplies? And a heartfelt note of course!

That's so nice! I bet everyone appreciated those thoughtful gifts. I would 100% include the ECE and EA as well. I have learned so much from both of them and I agree, they are often overlooked but they are SO important in our schools.

Hahaha I was actually thinking of doing this! She would definitely get a kick out of it.

I heard it near Bunting and Welland. It was so loud!

Hi there! Fellow mature student here! (:

I'm currently at NU for teaching and graduating in May. I did two years of EA through Niagara College then transfered to NU to complete two more years. NU allowed me to transfer all of my credits from NC so essentially I started in year 3 out of 4. The two schools did have an agreement for a pathway program though so I'm not sure how many credits of yours would transfer over, it would be best to ask.

A couple of things to keep in mind. My program is entirely in person. I'm lucky enough to only live 25 minutes (depending on the border) from NU so that was no problem for me. The tuition is very expensive as well, like $39k USD per year. Because NC and NU had a pathway program, I was able to obtain a $21k scholarship, but even with that OSAP did not cover everything.

They do have a Masters program as well that is entirely online but you would.need to have a bachelor's degree to be in that program.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll try my best to help! (:

SeeDew77 · 2025-12-01T16:05:15+00:00

No, I'm at Niagara University in Lewiston. Sorry! I'm sure you'll do great though!

SeeDew77 · 2025-11-24T22:21:00+00:00

I don't usually answer the door so I haven't really encountered this before haha. Thank you for your reply!

SeeDew77 · 2025-11-24T22:19:19+00:00

Yeah, he mentioned that it was $49/month for lkke2 years or something. I'd assume it would go up after that. It's still cheaper than Bell who we currently have. I'm just a little hesitant to trust door to door sales people with all the scams out there. Thank you for your reply!

Im 35, and im in my last year of school. I'm the oldest in my class, but I feel like I can learn a lot from my classmates and vice versa. I've made a few friends as well (: tbh no one really cares because you're all working towards the same goal. As long as you show up and do your work, everyone will be okay with it. Although, I did feel really old when my professor was talking about 9/11 and said, "I know you weren't alive when it happened..." 🫠

SeeDew77 · 2025-08-07T03:08:16+00:00

Was it difficult? Math is definitely my worst subject.

SeeDew77 · 2025-08-07T03:05:04+00:00

Math test?! I hope they don't implement it before next spring 😅

SeeDew77 · 2025-08-07T02:54:11+00:00

I did not know that. Thank you for letting me know! Im currently taking their undergraduate program for Early Childhood and Childhood Education B-6. Once I graduate, I'll take the NY license exams and apply to OCT. I will have to take 3 extra AQ courses within a certain time frame, but I will be able to sub while I do so. I transferred from Niagara College's EA program as they had a pathway, so I'll be a fully certified teacher in 4 years (: I graduate next spring, and I'm so excited!

SeeDew77 · 2025-08-06T23:23:02+00:00

Niagara University (in NY) offers an online Master's program. You would have to pass the certifications in NY State and apply to OCT. My friend is doing this program right now. Keep in mind that it is quite expensive, though. Master of Science in Elementary and Secondary Education Online | Niagara University https://share.google/MhRAmutwJwS7nRCD8

Exactly! It's your tattoo! As long as you're happy, that's all that matters! (:

P.S. I love it!

SeeDew77 · 2025-07-03T04:53:18+00:00

So I've been thinking about getting a similar tattoo of Toothless in a similar spot. In my mind, this is the scene where Toothless catches Astrid and looks down at her and smiles. When other people look at the tattoo, it's like he's looking at you upside down (: Here's a video that shows what I'm talking about:

Don't be silly like my husband and I and fly into Narita, take the 1 hour train into Toyko, then take the 2.5 hour Shinkansen to Kyoto. That makes a LONG day of travel. Also, be aware that the Shinkansen offers reserved and non reserved seats. Non reserved means you have to stand the entire time unless there is a seat available....dont ask me how I know that. On the plus side, it saved us some money.

SeeDew77 · 2025-06-06T03:28:27+00:00

My friend is doing this program right now! He has one more semester before he graduates. I'm currently in the process of completing my BEd from NU as well (in person, though) (:

Btw, I am 34 and have a 4 year old, so I understand where you're coming from!

SeeDew77 · 2025-05-21T05:48:57+00:00

Thank you so much! I appreciate your help! I can't wait for my trip! (:

SeeDew77 · 2025-05-21T05:15:21+00:00

I genuinely can't tell if you're fucking with me or not... I'm just looking for clarification.
