It's the Little Things

It's the little things you cherish when you're a teacher. Like the time the children were doing their morning work. I had a few who had finished early, so they were supposed to be doing a puzzle or some other activity until it was time to go to the carpet. I just happened to glance up from my desk to see these two boys over by the classroom library, engrossed in a Dr. Seuss book. Now that they have learned to read, the students are hooked on books, and want to read everything I offer them that they can decipher. Seeing these two working so hard, and enjoying what they were working on, I couldn't help but grab my phone and take a memory.

It's the Little Things That Make You Smile

The weather got warmer this week, and we had a little rain. But we were able to go outside for recess and run off some of our excess energy. The kids quickly found out that if they tried to go down the slide, their pants got wet. They never thought about wiping the water off the equipment. I couldn't help but laugh. Don't worry! Your pants will quickly dry in 72 degree weather!

On a Typical Day in Kindergarten

Because we have lunch at 10:30, we have snack in the afternoon after nap time. Paul here had brought an orange to eat. Without me having to tell him to, he bent over the trash can to peel it and eat it, dripping enough juice to fill a small cup. But the room took on that wonderful, fruity scent that lasted for hours afterward.

It's the little things you remember.
