A new year has begun. I enjoy watching the children enter on the first day with anticipation and uncertainty mixed on their faces. By the second week all the uncertainty will be gone and maybe even the anticipation too---they'll come to class knowing the type of teacher they have, which of their friends are in their class, and the order of subjects taught that day. It's a good time of year.
Here are 5 reasons I am glad I am a school teacher:
1) I get to pick books like Little House in the Big Woods and The Secret Garden---both classics---to read with my class. Usually this is their first introduction to the classics.
2) I have funny stories to tell about children that aren't even my own kids!
3) I get to have Spring Break, October Break, Christmas Break, and Summer Break with my grandkids.
4) I see the change that new knowledge brings to young people every day.
5) I get to know that my life is making a difference by passing on my knowledge to the next generation.

I'm glad you're enjoying your job Valerie.
Hey Mom! I'm so glad that you can update this from school. Now we just have to get some pictures for you on here.
Hey mom,
Nice blog. I enjoy your thoughts.
Many thanks to Amy who has always been the one to help me keep going! I'm glad that she knows me so well that she can help me out in the creative writing area! ;)
Hi Mom- This is a pretty "Politically Correct" blog! Are you afraid some of your teaching team might see you if you write nasty stuff about things that go on at school?
I sewed three bibs together today. Must go to Fabricland tomorrow for more bias tape. Thank-you so much for cutting all those out for me!
Love,
Shannon
