WHAT GIVES YOU THE GREATEST JOY AS A TEACHER? My joy is found in the small everyday things - to greet the children and feel the eagerness and excitement they are feeling in starting the day, to watch the children playing with peers, to hear the children sing no matter how loud or off key, to see the faces of the children as a story is read aloud, to experience the thrill when the children’s eyes light up from the joy of learning, and to feel their hugs and their genuine expression of love and gratitude. |

Credential:State of NH DHHS Child Development Bureau as an Early Childhood Teacher Level 6 WHAT GIVES YOU THE GREATEST JOY AS A TEACHER? The greatest joy I have as a teacher is to see the excitement in the children’s faces when they have conquered a task or learned something new. I love sharing that moment with them. I enjoy singing silly songs to learn how to write our numbers or learn our letter sounds because one day it clicks and they do it all on their own. Being a part of their academic, behavioral, and social growth is such an amazing feeling. Whether it be out on the playground watching them learn how to pump or in the classroom watching them learn how to write their name, it’s these moments that make me love being a teacher. |

My greatest joy as a teacher is celebrating all the little moments with the kids. The first time a child peels an orange by himself, the first successful trip to the bathroom or the first time a child puts on his shoe are all small moments that deserve to be celebrated. It is the joy of watching the children learn and grow throughout the year, accomplishing those little moments, that bring me the greatest joy. |
