I'm almost done with my first year teaching first grade. Although I may not have a say in it, I'm trying to decide if I want to stay with this grade level or try for 4th or 5th again. I've taught in 4 schools in 4 years, and in 3 grade levels. I'd really love to not have to pack up my classroom again. It would be so nice to leave my stuff there and come back to it after summer.
The transition to younger students has been tricky. I'm just starting to learn how to react to their behavior, and have seen how important my calm reactions are. Now that I feel I've gotten it down, I want to stay!
