I just accepted a job as an elementary school teacher in my hometown. I'm kind of nervous but I hope I do well!
What grade will you be teaching since elementary school is usually from Kindergarten to fifth grade?
I will be teaching second grade students. I taught at a daycare for a few years, but the age group is a bit older now.
I'm sure you'll do great. In second grade, that's where the kiddos will begin learning mathematics and science and social studies among other subjects
Yep! So I have to find creative ways to keep their little minds engaged. Kid's get so much mental stimulation now, I want to try to make learning fun for them.
