If anyone would like to know the real reason I can not have children, please read Michelle's comment on my last post. She hit the nail on the head for why I can not have children right now. No worries, I have already let my sister-in-law and brother know that I am ready to be an aunt again; mainly because I have a big girl job and could spoil my niece or nephew. (Remember: He/She must be born in December or June/July, thanks for considering my schedule)
Now for the silly reason I can not have children. Reason number two someone would always want my attention so he/she could show/tell me something. I have come to realize over the past couple of weeks of teaching how much attention I receive throughout the day. My students are always figuring out cute little ways to get my attention. I must give my students a large amount of credit because some of them are very crafty when it comes to attention getting. So, far I have experienced a lot of the typical ways students try to get their teachers attention but now my students are moving in to more advanced techniques. Here are some typical attention getter's: broken pencil, not feeling well, patiently waiting me for me to personally address him/her, and the disappearing piece of paper. I love teaching the younger students because when I ask what happened to their paper, they always magically know where it went. My all time favorite way two of my students try to get my attention is by following me around. My response, "I am not a mother duck, so you can not follow me around. The day I start quacking like a duck is the day you can start following me around." (You laugh but you are probably going to try it on your own students/kids.) My two students have stopped following me around and now remain in their seats, the magic of humor.
It's officially been a month since I started teaching my second graders. I would not trade them for anything, even those who pull on my patient string. Everyday when I leave work I can not wait to get back and teach my students the next day. My decision to move across the country was hard but the decision to get up every morning and teach is the easiest one I have ever had to make. Since, I do not have time to tell you every detail of my job what are some things you would like to know? If you have a burning question you would like me to answer just leave it as a comment.
Drum Roll......I am not computer less anymore, I received Jared's computer in the mail a couple days ago. Yay!!!!
Your Truly!!!

ReplyDeleteIt is annoying when they follow you around and tap on you! ugh! I think I'm too mean for any of them to want to do that... also their in third grade and the teacher isn't as cool anymore.
