8/2/2023 0 Comments Kindergarten graduation songsSpending two years with the same group of students really intensified all the reasons I became a teacher in the first place. Yes, even the ones that drive you bonkers-if they choose to stay with you-and most of my students always chose to stay with me for another year. You see, when you loop with kiddos, you get to spend two years with them. I was fortunate enough to get to loop twice and I highly recommend it if you ever get the chance, as looping created the most amazing experiences of my teaching career over anything else that I could name on that list. You see, 2 of the 4 years that I taught 4th graders, I really taught them because I had an ulterior motive-my grade level was looping back and forth from 4th to 5th. (Yes, my love of fractions persists!) But, the truth is, even when I was a 4th grade teacher, I would call myself a 5th grade teacher in a 4th grade teacher's body. Now, that's really just a little bit more than 1/2. During my 11 years of teaching, 6 years were spent in 5th grade.
