Top Ten Reasons to Substitute Teach for First Grade (Once in awhile)

10. First graders get excited to see you. Always. Every time. Mrs. Hein! Mrs. Hein!
9. We get to read, read, read.
8. Where else can you help a first grader with a Math problem and get sneezed on at the same time?
7. The joy of hearing, "Is it lunch yet?" 52 times in one hour.
6. Hearing "Mrs. Hein, you're so funny"all the time, even when you're not being funny-at all.
5. Watching a first grader get all giggly when you play Around the World in Math.
4. Helping with Christmas Program practice AND watching your 2nd grade daughter faint on the stage. (Yes, it did happen. Cosette is fine.)
3. Getting teary-eyed when you notice your 4th grade son getting teary-eyed that his little sister just fainted.
2. Having the best mother-in-law in the world happily do an Art project with your first graders. (They made Christmas Carolers and they are adorable-what was even more adorable was hearing one of the first graders call her Mrs.Mimi.)
1. Going home to your family after a long day of subbing and doing all the "mom" things you love so much more than substitute teaching.

This is a great list. I love them all. And Mrs. Mimi - I would love to do an art lesson with her too.

PS: I'm glad Cosette is fine. And how sweet of Dwight.
