These educators instruct students in multiple subjects, such as reading, writing, English, science, math and social studies. Elementary school teachers generally teach kindergarten through fifth grade. In some schools, they may teach other grade levels, such as pre-kindergarten and sixth grade. They plan lessons, deliver instruction, assess students on an on-going basis and evaluate student progress compared to state standards. Working with children on a daily basis can be tiring and sometimes frustrating. Observing their progress can be quite rewarding, however.
