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. |
