If you have not been to Erica Bohrer's new blog, Critters in the Classroom, go check it out now! I am so pleased to be a part of this blogs! I love animals and thanks to Erica, I have a new place to share the love! :)
Hi, I am currently teaching First Grade for the very first time in my five years of teaching. Or rather, tomorrow's gonna be my first day of the new academic year. Initially, I was extremely apprehensive of teaching first grade (apprehensive is too mild a word, actually). I'd imagined I would have to deal with overprotective parents and crying/screaming children and I'd be at a loss at how to do 'proper teaching'. But after reading through your blog and other First Grade teachers' blogs, I am reminded of what being a teacher is all about. It isn't about teaching concepts or skills or knowledge. It is first and foremost (as you aptly put it) about the children learning and growing. While I am still anxious about my competence as a First Grade teacher, I am inspired by you and many other First Grade teachers who put in their heart and soul into being the best teachers they could ever be! Thank you!
Thank you for reminding me about this adorable Critter Blog! My bunny and I will check it out again. I am going to see if I can bring my cat to school for half a day!
You'll have to go check out my picture of my fur babies!

Great post. I would include that 'Extraordinary synthesis is a pleasure to the eye' as well; that is the reason we have each one of the styles and outline slants to make it is a pleasant undertaking for readers. The custom papers are not exchanged as pre written custom essay writing services - administration organizations they furnish their clients with just quality papers.
Everything she does is super cute!=)
