When I accepted the position, I wasn't sure how I would like first grade. I have always heard that you either love it or hate it. I was anticipating not liking it at all only to be pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy the little ones! Sure, there are rough days and even rougher students but they pale in comparison to the good stuff.
So....without further ado: Reasons I like first grade:
- We get to sing multiple times daily.
- We get to celebrate holidays and other significant events.
- The students are excited about learning and soak it up!
- Amazing academic growth!
- Learning all 70 phonograms and the cute movements/sayings that help us remember them. (I'll be happy to demonstrate - just ask)
- LOTS of hugs and holding hands!
- Losing teeth (especially when my sweet girl lost her two front silver teeth so her smile is even more beautiful now!)
- They look hilarious when they run.
- Two of my boys look like they belong in the Peanuts gang.
- We play games.
- Crafts!
- They really do say the funniest things!
- NO TAKS TEST!

I'm reading this post the morning after your awful day with ***, so it makes me glad that the majority of your days are better! They are lucky to have you and your enthusiasm; that sets the tone.
I love you - Mom
