I've been back in Kindergarten two years now.
Here's some very important things I've learned.
The more I'm around five-year olds,
the more I act like a five-year old.
If you offer a candy treat as incentive, that parent form
you thought you'd never get back -
filled out and signed,
will miraculously show up the very next morning.
Fifi the French puppet might be shy,
but she can make even the
quietest in the class talk.
When you tell your class you'll be attending
several days of teacher classes,
they just don't get it's not because
you're not smart enough to already be a teacher.
No matter how many times you repeat it.
If you're not a morning person,
and you teach kinders,
you keep telling yourself you can surely
learn to like coffee!
A brand new box of crayons
is still just as special as it was
45 years ago.
If you call your class a family,
you'll have to be Mom
more times than you wish.
And you won't get to be Mom
as many times as you'd like.
Whoever invented the term, brain break...
genius!
If you're going to have to trust your babies to a sub,
just know that she might show up with
her two, BIG service dogs-in-training.
It changes the whole game plan.
Full Moon Phobia...it's real.
Just because I said I wouldn't cry in front of them
on the last day of school,
doesn't mean it won't happen.
It helps to fake a cold all day.
Congratulations to my little 2013 Kinder graduates!
Teacher's feeling so proud today!
