I found this nifty post from a fellow teacher out there (Thanks Kathy!) and thought I'd steal it, to post up here. It made me think alot, and it's funny how many things I agreed with from her blog! I'll try and think of some "unique" ones.. Enjoy!
My Top 5 Teaching Loves
- Hearing the kidlets say that they missed me when I was off sick for a week.
- When the kidlets amaze me, by being on task and doing exactly what I ask of them every so often! Most times, there is always at least one person who has a problem, sometimes it's all of them just having a bad day -- but those days where the lesson you had planned runs off without a hitch. Priceless!
- When the kidlets get excited about their learning. "Miss, can we please do some more reading??"
- When I get to use stamps, give stickers, give awards and give PRAISE. Love that!
- The thousands of little drawings, anecdotes, stories and all that jazz that I have recieved, and it's only been six months!!
My Top 5 Teaching Peeves
- THE HEADACHES. (And the sickness too, I suppose) I've gone through so much medicine this year -- and again, it's only been six months!!
- The parents who expect miracles from their children when they don't: a) Send them to school with the right sorts of food to eat. b) Send them to school ON TIME. c) Send them to school with A FREAKING PENCIL. Gah.
- Having no support for kids who NEED support.
- Kidlets with messy books. Must have neatness! Must write on lines! Must not be messy. Ha. (Yes, I realise I have a Year 1/2 class - but some kidlets take their time and others just.. have icky books.)
- People that tell me I have an easy job. ajshsajkhgffd.

HAHAHAHAHAHA--easy job! You've gotta be kidding me.
I was a speech-pathologist in a primary school, and I so concur with all of your points! The little anecdotes are the best--I still laugh when I think about some of the things that I saw or that the kids told me!
It is so evident that you love your job! Your "kidlets" are lucky to have you!
