You Know You Teach First Grade When...
- Your once neatest handwriters are suddenly writing their names illegibly. Because they're attempting to write in cursive with no formal instruction.
- You've been through no less than 762 glue sticks.
- You've considered changing your name for the day just so you don't have to respond to Ms._______ seventy-eight times in an hour.
- You're fairly certain that a select few students will never recognize the written difference between a "b" and a "d" no matter how many times you correct them.
- You get just as excited as the kids do when the Scholastic book order comes in.
- You welcome inventive spelling if only to have something entertaining to read.
- You wish you got a dollar every time you told your class to "be a level zero in the hallway" or to "get on the line" when walking down the hall.
- You have at least one Dr. Jean album on your iPod.
- Calendar activities exhaust you. {Maybe that's just me... I'm hoping that doing it on the SmartBoard next year will alleviate some of my pain!}
- You love your students' goofy smiles due to their jack-o-lantern-like assortment of *missing* teeth.
- On that same note, you are driven *12 kinds of crazy* when students repeatedly get up from whole group time to get a tissue to wiggle a loose tooth.
- Your heart goes pitter patter when hear your firsties read, smiling at the fact that you are the one responsible for that.
