You know you teach first grade when.....

* You once neatest hand writers are all the sudden writing their names illegibly because they are attempting to write in cursive with no formal instruction. 


* You have considered changing your name to anything other than what it is because if you hear Ms. _______ one more time in one day you might scream. 


*You have at least 1 Dr. Jean cd


*You have ever pulled out a loose tooth...and then get just as excited as the student when the tooth actually comes out!


*On the same note: you silently go crazy every time a student repeatedly gets up from the carpet to get a tissue to wiggle a loose tooth. 


*It is not abnormal for you to say "please get your fingers out of your nose!!" at least once if not 20 times a day. 


*You go through no less than 422 glue sticks a year.


*You get just as excited as the kids do when a Scholastic Book Order comes in. 


*If you had a $0.50 for every question you answered in a day you could retire at age 30.


* You have a closet full of clorox wipes and hand sanatizer in your classroom. 


* Your heart smiles when you hear firsties read, smiling at the fact that you are responsible for that.
