A Day in the Life of a First Grade Teacher...

I belong to a mailring of first grade teachers where we ask questions, look for advice, share great ideas and generally support each other. I just had to share this direct quote from a fellow first grade teacher...

"My 3rd day of school I had the EI child run away, one child throw up, miss the waste basket and hit my shoe. I cleaned up diarrhea which also landed on my other shoe! The craziness upset one of the PPI kids who hid under a table while the other one "gently" banged his head on the carpet. I don't think they have enough paper to fill out a teacher's job description anymore."


I have a sudden urge to go shoe shopping...
