They make it their business to know...

EVERYTHING! One thing I have learned so far is that the students talk to each other about everything. I will move someone's desk while they are gone and they will walk into the classroom the next day already knowing where their new seat is. Also, this week I have had bus duty and so I stand and make the kids walk and stay away from the street when they come in the morning and when they leave in the afternoon. Random students that I have never seen before in my life walk up and say, "Hi Ms. Jones!" as if I were their best friend or their teacher. One first grader came and said, "I want you to be my teacher in 4th grade!" I just replied with a smile. Who knows? Maybe I will be!
