switching things around

so, today is technically day 9 which is a close up of my day.  Well, for me, that's a tad silly because tomorrow is the 10th, and if you have been reading here long, that means 10 on 10 time!  If you haven't seen this before it is a photo project where you shoot one photo an hour for ten hours, on the tenth of each month.  I can't think of a "closer" up view of my day - so let that be tomorrow!

Instead, I'm in a day ten kind of mood...

day ten: what I love about my job

considering I have dedicated an entire blog, well mostly, to my job

you've probably figured out why I love it so much

but just in case it isn't clear

let me count the ways  I love my job

one - I love the way my students can make me smile unlike anyone else

two - I love that my "place of work" is my classroom, my very own space, not a cubicle

three - I love that no matter if my student is five or thirteen, they need me just the same

four - I love seeing the "lightbulb" moment

five - I love their humor

six - I love getting to be creative everyday

seven - I love hearing my students being excited about what they are learning

eight - I love seeing former students

nine - I love that kids are so capable of showing appreciation

ten - I love being asked questions I don't always know the answers to

eleven - I love knowing I made someone smile

twelve - I love seeing how proud a student can be of their own work

thirteen - I love that I learn something new everyday

fourteen - I love that my days are never the same

fifteen - I love when a student just "hangs around" after school to talk

I love that my place is in the classroom, and that I found that place at only 22.  I love that I have already taught over 275 kids - not counting any summer school classes or subbing!
