That's the flag ;)
Things I'll never figure out...
-How by the end of the day, the desks are only 2 feet away from the front of the classroom
-How I can get asked the exact same questions every day (What do I do with my homework? Umm, turning it in might be a good idea..)
-How their hands can be completely covered in glue or sparkles or something else that is sticky when we weren't using any of those things in class...(and then they are afraid of getting messy when we DO use those things!)
-How they can tell the greatest, most creative stories at all the wrong times, and can't think of anything when we need it in class
-Why do rulers always have to become swords?
Interesting observations...
-If I don't lock the doors to my classroom in the morning, I get mobbed by elementary children of all ages
-Pencils learn too. They learn how to get up and walk away, or just plain disappear right before a test
-The students beg me to eat lunch with them, but I find that on those days, it is very difficult to actually eat lunch
-They come in from PE and recess like a mess with sweaty, red faces, and then ask me if I brushed my hair that day
-I have to laugh at jokes I've heard a 100 times before and pretend I don't know the answer
The Joys...
-Finding notes on the back of spelling tests like this -->
-They tell their moms your favorite color
-After a substitute teacher for 4 days, they celebrate and cheer the day you come back
-They have no idea how easily you can see them at their desks making faces to themselves, picking their noses, or reading in their laps
-You become the subject of every class story or made up song
