Why Halloween is great when you're a teacher

I love the holidays! I revert to Kelsey at six years old and become a giddy child bouncing off the walls from October until at least February. Being a teacher allows me to really become a kid again around the holidays and enjoy the wonder and amazement through my students. The best part, I don't have to wake up in the middle of the night, I don't have to deal with the yuck parts, I get all the fun!!! It's like being the cool aunt who teaches you how to read, comprehend, solve word problems, think critically, and everything else that teachers do. That's why they pay me the "big" bucks.

I firmly believe that being an elementary school teacher is the best job. Not only are we shaping and changing lives, but we are laughing and enjoying life with children. The Bible says we should love like a child. How blessed am I that I can be around ten amazing God loving babies that love life and holidays as much as I do.

We had a trunk-or-treat with the church my school is affiliated with and it was so much fun. We handed out candy, dressed up, and laughed so much with my students and other kids from the community. My kids loved meeting Mr. Jeff and Roxie. How special that I was able to share two people I love dearly with ten little people I love just as much.

Although my Halloween was amazing, there is something even better. What's even better then Halloween? The day after Halloween because all candy is BOGO!!!!! Now that is something worth celebrating.
