Ten Things I Like About Teaching 4th Grade

These are not necessary in order of importance, just in order of when they popped into my mind!

1. The students don't need help in the restroom (usually).

2. In Social Studies, we teach Texas History.

3. Four of the most incredible teachers to work with (they "get" Special Ed).

4. None of the testing can hold a student back.

5. Reading the stories of students who are beginning to enjoy writing--and getting good at it!

6. The look of success on a student's face when they "get" long division!

7. Field trip to Frontier Texas!

8. Watching students get excited about chapter books.

9. Students learning to be empathetic with others (at least, some of them).

10. Seeing how much they've grown the first day they are in fifth grade.
