{the perks of being a teacher}

A couple of things that I really like about my job:

(In no particular order...really)

• Fall Break- Starting today! Nice! 
• Spring Break- A whole week this year!
• Christmas Break
• Summer Break- No work and still getting paid. Great idea!
• Thanksgiving Break- (There are a few more of these, but I think you get the picture) 
• No homework for me (unless you count grading while watching movies) 
• Something new everyday 
• Kids say the darndest things
  
• Actually seeing students grow and learn so much in one year
• Realizing that your attitude and smile really can make a difference to someone
• Getting to read a bunch of good books
• Celebrating every holiday known to mankind- Johnny Appleseed Day, Grandparents Day and Red Ribbon Week are a few of the lesser known ones that are recognized in Elementary.
• Having and decorating a classroom
• Watching my class play dodgeball- it looks like "The Matrix" out there sometimes
• The pay- HA!
• The benefits are actually a pretty sweet deal- now I just need to schedule all the Dr. Appts.
• Recess
• Being able to casually say, "Reese's are my favorite" and have students from this year and last year drop off Reese's for me. Yum!
• It's just fun, but I am excited for Fall Break!  Sleeping in and adventure, here we come!
