"What's this extra button for anyway?"
Teaching 1st grade gives me the opportunity to teach important life lessons kids haven't had a chance to learn yet.
Case in point...
One boy in my class comes to school AT LEAST twice a week with his shirt buttoned wrong. He starts with the spare button on the inside of the placket and goes up. One time I was helping him fix it and ended up with a crowd around me. One of the cutie cupcakes in the gang asked the above question but I just could not convince them to ignore the button.

My job is tough. And it's not for everyone. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry and sometimes I throw my hands up in frustration but I ALWAYS learn something. My job makes your job possible. Don't ever forget it.
