  10. Got the job!!!

  12. If you had to choose...

    I love being in elementary! As others mentioned, there is a lot of tiny frustrations (they younger they are the more like goldfish they are: so cute, but so forgetful) but when you actually teach...

    Our district is working on banning them, which I have mixed feelings about but I have had quite a few spinner injuries
