Stuck On A Bus

I was really looking forward to seeing Kindergarten’s graduation today. Dressed and out of the house by seven, my excitement soon became frustration. The driver ran late and got lost. As a result, not only did I ride around on a bus for three hours, but I completely missed graduation! What a... Sign in to see full entry.

A Goodbye Kiss

Today was a sad day. It was our last day in Kindergarten. The children had spent the morning working on standardized tests, so we didn’t read. We joined them to watch a cute movie about vowel sounds. I thought I was going to cry when they blew us a goodbye kiss as they stood in the lunch line.... Sign in to see full entry.

Reading Meets Spanish

Gone are the days of simple readers. Just when I think I am an adult, I learned something in Kindergarten today. The children had a wonderful time reading to me from their readers, which, by the way, were in Spanish! I was so proud of them. They did a wonderful job. Glad you stopped by. Have a great...

How We Raise Children

I wish children were able to stay innocent. I wish we could protect them from the harsh realities of pain, disappointment, failure and rejection. How I hope they never experience the stereotypes and discrimination of prejudice. These wishes would hold true in a perfect world. Childhood is about... Sign in to see full entry.

Winding Things Up

I can’t wait to see the children. We didn’t go to Kindergarten last week, and I miss them. Hard to believe the end of the year is fast approaching. What would you give the children as an end-of-the-year gift? I would appreciate your input, as I wind up my time in Kindergarten next month. Glad you... Sign in to see full entry.

A Lifelong Journey

It has been a few weeks since I have helped in Kindergarten. I have really missed the children. Congratulations to FirstFig, whose husband just graduated with his BA in Business at forty-five years old. The adage is true. Learning is a lifelong journey. Volunteering in Kindergarten, I am blessed to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Priceless Moment
