I LOVE BEING A TEACHER!

When I started teaching first grade this year, I didn't really know what to expect. I mean, I knew that I loved to teach... but I had NO REAL IDEA. Guess what--I LOVE being a teacher!!! It's not the, "teacher, I need to go to the bathroom" all day that I love though--that's just a perk. Really, I love watching the light come on in my students' little eyes. That is certainly a joy for me. I teach the basics in education and the basics of life. C'mon, these little ones need help with their shoelaces still. The other day, I was trying to build on words that have "at" and "ap" in them: mat, map, cat, cap, chat, chap. You try it!
