After a traumatic leave from my dream job - teaching Junior High School Theatre - I returned to teaching Elementary School. It was hard. I missed my kiddos immensely. I missed my dream job, not to mention how traumatic it was to leave. After two years, I decided to accept the fact that I am an elementary school teacher by posting something positive that happened in my classroom every day. It started on Instagram and Facebook. It's now in blog form. Thanks for coming.

The scene: 22 first graders at the beginning of class getting settled on their stars.
“Dammit! Would you STOP touching me?”
I’m pretty certain the kiddo who they were speaking to and I were the only ones who heard. I made eye-contact and gave them a look, and asked kiddo 2 to choose a different star.
Apparently this is an ongoing issue with these two.
Even though there was TONS of movement in class today, kiddo 2 did not get in kiddo 1’s space the rest of class.
Kiddo 2 got the clue.
Sometimes all it takes is a firm DAMMIT!
