Working with children

What is your least favorite part?

All the paperwork that must be done that has nothing to do with teaching.

What is your average workday like?

I teach kindergarten, so we do a lot of silly singing and dancing while we learn. I am with my students from about 7 am to 2 pm. I have a set schedule for each part of my day that I follow. I must make sure that I hit every subject every day. We learn in small groups and whole group.
