I have been thinking a lot about my future job lately. I am pretty sure I want to teach 2nd grade, but I love my 3rd graders that I have now. The only problem is that I hear the kids constantly talking about SOLs and how they are so nervous for them, etc. This kinda scares me because I do not want the kids that I have being only concerned with SOLs!! But then again...if I taught 3rd grade maybe I could get the kids to worry about them less?
The next grade that I have in my internship is 1st grade, I am soooo excited to meet these new kids and get started in my placement! I think that it will be so fun to go from 3rd grade to 1st grade! BUT...I will miss my 3rd graders SOOO much!!! They have already written me notes that sound like I am going away forever (even though I am just going downstairs in the building.) For example, one girl wrote me a note like this "Dear Ms "Kristin", you will always remember me because I will always remember you. Love, "Kid's name." It makes me sad when they write notes like this even though they are really cute notes!
I believe that every subject is taught through reading. So...1st grade will be great for me because they are just starting to read and write for comprehension! oh the anticipation.... =)
