All majors have people who have specific traits or qualities about them, but elementary education majors are unique in their own way. If you identify with these traits, you just may be an elementary education major.
1. You love crafting
If you look at this picture and immediately want to run to your craft stash, you just might be a future elementary school teacher.
2. You both love and hate crayons
They're the best for kids, and sometimes you love to be nostalgic and use them, but at the same time, they're the worst.
3. You have an odd love for stickers
Everything you can put a sticker on, has a sticker on it. Laptop, car, notebook, anything. You also can't wait to have a sticker collection for grading.
4. You'll pick up a children's book to read for fun
You'd rather read a children's book than a magazine any day. When a new book comes out, you just HAVE to read it.
5. You sit on the ground when talking to kids
Ok, so you may not always sit, but you always get down to the child's level. You crouch down to talk to them instead of remaining standing.
6. You dream about your future classroom
All education majors dream about their future classroom. How it will be decorated, how you'll set up the seats, and of course, your desk!
7. You love school supplies
When the school supplies start rolling back out mid-summer, you actually get excited! Notebooks, and pencils, and planners, OH MY!
8. You live by a planner
As a future teacher, you know you'll have to plan things out ahead of time constantly. Keeping track of your life in a cute planner is essential.
9. You have to force yourself NOT to buy supplies for your future classroom
Every time you go shopping you see something and think, "that will go great in my future classroom!" Then you have to remind yourself you have nowhere to put it in the mean time.
10. Your Pinterest is full of classroom ideas
You have several different boards dedicated to your future classroom.
11. You dream of your classroom library
A million books, some cozy chairs, a reading rug..... Just thinking about it puts a huge smile on your face.
