I have taught every elementary grade. I love Kindergarten but if all the grades were put in front of me, I'd probably choose 2nd grade. They are learning to be more independent, have (mostly) figured out what someone else called "the logistics of reading" and can (mostly) write well enough to be able to branch out creatively. Plus, they are starting to ramp up to a new developmental level. Way cool little people.
And here's something to think about. If you've only taught first grade, it would be beneficial to you to teach another grade. I'm glad I've done all the grades, although my first ten years were with third graders (sometimes in multiage). Each grade has its own particularities. :-) Renee On Apr 30, 2008, at 4:18 PM, Patti Brooks wrote: > > I've taught first grade for 30 years and have an opportunity to move > to 2nd.
