1. Choosing a baby name gets harder every year! (Trust me, I have two kids.) 2. Teachers do have favorites, and it's okay. It's not okay to show your favortism. 3. I have an addiction to garage sales and picture books! 4. Organization is KEY! 5. No matter how many late nights, early mornings, and weekends I put in, I still feel like I have so much left to do! 6. Aside from my family, there is only one thing I love more than teaching....Learning! 7. Set higher expectations for kids, and they will work harder to meet them! 8. Unless you are married to a teacher, husbands don't quite understand why we work as hard as we do...Does anyone, really? 9. Teaching takes a lot more time, effort, and love than I ever thought, but the rewards are much greater, too! 10. I am so glad to have a job where I don't have to watch the clock all day long. My job challenges, inspires, motivates, and gratifies my spirit everyday! I feel truly blessed that God has called me to this profession.

I love #7 and #8! We sure work our tails off! And I love my fiance- he's so supportive, but he'll never really GET it. So glad you joined the party!
I taught fourth grade the past two years- I don't know if your state has the main writing test in fourth grade, but Texas does. I have tons of ideas and great examples of stuff! Pick my brain if you need to jrluttenbacher@yahoo.com

Thanks Jennifer! We don't have a writing test, but my focus this year has primarily been writing. I usually teach all subjects, but this year, I'm only teaching L.A.
