She teaches 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades various subjects in a small school.
I teach Kindergarten, so you can imagine the differences in our classrooms.
Here are some things I have learned from that experience.
- If you respect your students, they will respect you.
- You have instant camaraderie with a 5th grader if you ask him what's for lunch today.
- Jenga blocks can be used like dominoes.
- The analytical prowess of an 11-year-old is impressive.
- 3rd grade girls surpass the maturity of 5th grade boys by about two years.
- 5th graders can be a lot quieter than Kindergartners.
- There is hope for my Kindergarten kids to become focused, quiet 5th graders.
- All kids love Jenga blocks
- All kids love to play
- There is an exponential amount of knowledge from Kindergarten to 5th grade.
- They CAN SIT STILL! :)
- experiments with gum are the best!
- Apparently 5th graders are resourceful at finding out you have a boyfriend.
- Apparently 5th graders are able to find their teacher's boyfriend's address online.
- Again, 5th graders are very resourceful people.
- I'm so glad I don't teach 5th graders who ask invasive questions.
- My best friend may be one of the most patient people I've ever met.
- She is definitely the most patient person I know.
- 5th grade boys are really good at pushing the rules.
- 5th grade boys might also be some of the funniest kids I've met.
- My best friend is one of the best teachers I know. :)
