I am back in grade 1 with 22 students (24 on the roster but some will come later in the year), 16 boys and 8 girls. That's a lot of 6 year old boys in a confined space, let me tell you!
In the first three days, I've determined that
1. Six years olds can project their voices better than many public speakers.
2. I don't know any Korean. (I knew this before but it's not obvious every day until you have Korean/non-English speakers in your classroom!)
3. Children make me laugh.
4. I need to be at least in the process of going to bed by 9:00 to be rested and ready for a new day!
5. Kid's prayers are much more heartfelt than many adult's prayers.
6. Non sequiturs make up the bulk of most conversations in grade 1.
:)
Blessings for a great new year!
