The other side of the coin
I thought it would be fun to blog about First Grade. As a former First Grade teacher, I find it very interesting and challenging to be on the other side of the coin as a First Grade parent. I am not currently in the classroom, but still have many ideas and opinions on how engaging, fun, and special a First Grade classroom can be. I will use this space to document happenings in my son's classroom, but also post links and ideas for First Grade classrooms. As challenging and draining as I thought it was to teach First Graders, I now know what the parents were going through at home. I think if I ever do go back to the classroom, I will be a better, more efficient teacher (and maybe not assign so much homework).
