I really hate it when someone says first graders are so cute. They are not “cute!” They are very interesting, inquiring, and, yes, at times, entertaining little people. They have their own ways of exploring and experiencing the world, and my classroom is often one of the first places they interact with personalities, biases, and values different from their own families. Watching these young people as they develop successful, and sometimes, unsuccessful social skills is one of my favorite parts of teaching. And, yes Mr. Teach, it is very interesting to meet parents and see from where these little people’s perspectives come from.
