There are trials, tribulations, challenges, but Done shows that in the end there are some things that make it all worth it. Hilarious throughout with some really poignant moments that made me tear up. I loved it. I have a feeling this will become one of my comfort books. I have the urge to buy a copy for all my teacher friends now. ( ) This book is such a fun read. It shows the fun quirky side of teaching. It is a book for anyone who has taught or who has attended first grade. The plot of the books takes the reader through a school year in third grade. It is a book composed of testimonies from the author that are often hilarious and sometimes embarrassing. One example is when the teacher agreed to get the students a class pet snake. Anyone can see how that may have turned out in a classroom full of eight year olds. Having been an elementary school teacher in my earlier days I can relate to the charming stories that Mr. Done relates in this quick-to-read book. He has taught 3rd grade for 20 years and still has an obvious passion for the classroom. Some of the anecdotes are quite funny - during a spelling test the children are in hysterics because all of the words have a double 'p', thus making them 'peepee' words. And others are very touching - a little girl whose pet rat dies the night before the annual pet parade. Mr. Done has no problem telling tales on himself either - getting his necktie stuck in the laminating machine is just one of many. If you have ever been a teacher or have even had a child in elementary school you will enjoy this book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
