Hello everyone!

My name is Larise Swanepoel and I am from Virginia in the Freestate. I am a Student/Educator Assistant at Riebeeckstad Primary School. I am always open to learn new things since we are never to old to learn!

My passion for teaching came from my mother who is also a teacher in the Intermediate Phase. My first career choice wasn't teaching... but I don't regret studying B. Ed. I love children and I enjoy working with them and helping them where I can. I want to inspire them and motivate them to follow their dreams. They are our future after all. ✨

I am very excited about LSKM 221 since it is about music in the Foundation Phase. I love music and our grade 1 class enjoys singing and dancing to music. Before they go home, we would put on a music video for them to dance to. Unfortunately for me ​​​​​​"Apples and Bananas" will be stuck in my head the whole afternoon... but I enjoy seeing them happy and excited.

Good luck to everyone this semester.
