we are learning and doing so many new things:
how to weave
how to be very gentle with a rescue mini pony
how to make veggie sushi
how to catch frogs
how to create the life cycle of a butterfly
and tomorrow, anything is possible…

I did weaving at school in 1958, when I was 6. It was really creative and enjoyable. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

I don’t have any memories of my kindergarten year; I suspect that’s because I didn’t have the kind of unique memories you make for your kinders!

Oh, teaching them to be kind to animals is probably the VERY best thing you could teach them…well and to be kind to other humans too! 🙂 Beth do you realize that you will be remembered to SO many you have taught over the years for the rest of their lives? (heart).

Gosh, Beth, you make learning fun. My 4-year-old grandson would love you as a teacher. He had his final preschool celebration today, standing the entire time on stage with his back to the audience because he wanted to see the time and images on the backdrop screen.

Absolutely wonderful, teaching at its best. BTW, my favorite presenter (Jeanine Fitzgerald) has a school and so much more. I attended a workshop at her school last weekend, and she did a whole thing on teaching vs learning. She said we are not teachers, we are learning coaches. Boy, did that stick with me.
