Have I mentioned how much I enjoy teaching 4th grade? For starters, today we had a relaxing day (before TAKS) and so most kids were playing games, while others wanted to be my left and right hands (see previous post). Do you deny kids the right to help when they are trustworthy and truly offer help, not something you'll have to do over, I think not!
It was wonderful saying: Pick that up and take it over there! Can you clean that for me? Rearrange these! Make sure these are correct!
And so on while I sat in my chair like a dictator working on yearbook and having everything else done that I needed to, except, I didn't have to use my own hands. I know this couldn't have happened with 1st graders for sure. If this is the one reason I continue to teach 4th grade, is that a bad thing?
