Ten Things I Have Learned From Teaching...



Rowdy In First Grade is having a link-up! Ten things you have learned from teaching.....and go!

1. Kids really DO say the darndest things!

2. Each one of my student's is someone's baby. They deserve all the love and respect in the world.

3. I can't imagine a job where I don't start over every August! Keeps things fresh and interesting.

4. We are teaching kids and preparing them for jobs that don't even exist yet.

5. Kids are DIGITAL learners....light and sound motivated! We must use this to our advantage!

6. A simple "I really like your shoes" can make a six-year-old's day.

7. Sometimes I just need to back off and let the kids take control of their learning. They are capable of so much!

8. Happiness = new Crayolas or Mr. Sketch markers.

9. I can never have enough books.

10. Coffee is my best friend. :)
