spent time in my classroom
doing some pre-planning with my team
and saw how thorough
our summer cleaning crew had been.
i especially loved the note they left on the chairs:
they did not merely say
‘chairs cleaned’
but instead they kicked it up a notch to an ’11’
the ‘disinfected’ level
for the kinders’ chairs.
i can certainly appreciate that.

We don’t need germy chairs, heaven knows we bring enough germs with us. 🙂 And we share freely!

Enjoyable verse and quote. Hard to believe prep for teachers has already begun.
Have a great year. And thanks for being a Teacher, I was there once… a long time ago for pre-schoolers.
