Elementary Education is a very unique major. To maybe shed some light on the world that I live in I have compiled a list:
The Top 10 Ways You Know Your an Elementary Education Major (in no particular order)
10: Your backpack has more Crayons in it than pencils and pens
9: To get a group of peoples' attention you use phrases such as, "Give me 5" or "1,2,3 Eyes on Me"
8: You know what the following acronyms stand for: DIBELS, IEP, AYP, IDEA, CRT, ADHD, PDD, NCLB.
7: There are only 2 guys in your class
6: One of the "textbooks" you bought last semester was James and the Giant Peach
5: You have piles and boxes of things such as paper towel tubes, ribbon, Popsicle sticks, post-it notes in the shapes of flowers, and old magazines.
4: You make your husband draw you giant pictures of mousetraps, band aids, and flamingos.
3: You never wear white(its just going to get dirty), and must always have pockets.
2: Your math final was the 6th grade end of year math test.
1: You graduate college having never written a paper over 8 pages!

Kelsey that list is VERY cute!!!!
That sounds like an ideal, almost perfect college experience if there ever was one. Good for you Mouseketeer, you're well on your way to becoming a great teacher that every kid will love!

Of course if doesn't get any better once you are an elementary educator. My briefcase has (I am not making this up) a tooth-taxi (treasure chest) for a lost tooth, dry erase markers, a note from a mom apologizing for her kid being late, a note from a kid apologizing for whacking another kid (her mom made her write the note). A bunch of pieces of left-over laminating plastic that you don't dare throw away because you might'need it' someday, your co-teacher's cell phone number from before she got married 1 year ago, a picture of Santa that you've been meaning to turn into a math color-by-number, a jar of baby powder (to make Saturn's rings, DUH!) 2 loose IBUPROPHEN tablets 'just in case' (now fuzzy and covered with who-knows-what)... you get the picture. If you are like me, you just get a new tote/bag/case when the other one is full and carry that for a while. Your dad is not impressed.

And I totally get the 1-2-3- eyes on me! I used a clap signal to get the primary kids to shut up at the ward party on Friday night. People thought I was nuts, but it worked.
