Even though I do wish I taught at Hogwarts, I also love my fourth grade class. I have been so surprised by how independent students at nine and ten years old can be. They can follow multi-step directions and only take four minutes to pack up in the afternoon. (I know this because we time it.) However, I'm glad that by May - when those little people do start to grow up a little too much for me - I'll be singing songs with the five-year-olds.
