TOP FOUR REASONS...

Top four reasons I am in love with teaching first grade:
1.  A little boy asked if I would be lonely this weekend without all of them there. (He thinks I live at the school).
2.  Some say good-bye to my baby at the end of the day by talking to my belly.  It melts my heart every time.
3.  A little girl said she wanted to be a teacher when she got older, "...just like you Mrs. Hicks".
4.  My entire class can recite facts about mammals, insects, birds, fish, amphibians, and reptiles.  They are IN LOVE with animals :)

Top four reasons I am in love with teaching at Central Cass:
1.  I have been given clothes upon maternity clothes from by my awesome co-workers.  They ask for nothing in return, only that I return them when I am done.  How great is that?
2.  I get asked every day by at least one person, "How are you feeling?" and they actually mean it.
3.  They listen to my silly stories and sometimes even laugh :)
4.  I got new carpet this year!
