Speaking of reading, that is definitely one of the things I look forward to
"A teacher says, Take out your pencils. Begin.
We encounter each other in words, words spiny or smooth, whispered or declaimed, words to consider, reconsider..."

Learn Me Good, Gooder, Best!
Another great list of resources from Learn Me Good , free educational games from Elementary up to HS, and they're usable with the interactive whiteboards -- I haven't checked them all out, 'cause I got sidetracked for several hours on the Professor Garfield site, playing games and listening to Mrs. P read to me...
Speaking of reading, that is definitely one of the things I look forward to if when I have my own class: reading a book to them, a long book that takes several weeks, a book with several voices and maybe a slightly scary and/or dangerous scene. No matter what grade I get, they're getting story time!

Reading aloud to my class is my favorite thing of all time. I usually start the year out with James and the Giant Peach so that when other teachers are calling their students their, "little darlins" or "little angels" I can call them my 'disgusting worms' as Aunt Sponge and Spiker refer to James as this once in the story…of course, I throw it in several more times so they hear it, then when I sue it, they know exactly where it came from.
If I get an upper elem. class I'll read them Gary Schmidt's "Wednesday Wars" so i can call them "pied ninnies" -- or go directly to Shakespeare for other awesome insults!
