Hard To Believe

Wow! It's hard to believe, but summer vacation is almost over. I work at a small rural school so I know most of the students long before they reach my classroom for third grade. Yesterday, I was able to see my class role for the upcoming year and I am super excited!! In my four previous years of teaching I have been so blessed with absolutely awesome classes and it looks like this year will be no different. Honestly though, the majority of the kids at my school are wonderful. We are lucky to have very few disciplinary problems throughout the year and it truly makes it so much easier to do my job when the kids are so wonderful and cooperative! When I'm not constantly worrying about discipline, I am able to allow my students to talk, share, and have fun while learning. Seeing the looks on my students' faces when they are actually enjoying being at school and learning makes waking up and going to work everyday so completely worthwhile that there is nothing else in the world I would rather do for a living!
