My Kindergarten Teacher

My kindergarten teacher and I’d guess probably yours Taught me all I need to know to open all the doors She taught me all my letters and how to write them out She taught me about indoor voice and there is no need to shout She read to me for hours; she taught me 2 + 2 She said “in learning there is power and I’m giving that to you” She taught me how to make friends and how friends help friends get by She taught me how to make amends when I made others cry She taught me that in sharing I get more than I give She taught me that in caring a better life I’d live She taught me about teamwork and how to be discerning But most of all she taught me a life-long love of learning My kindergarten teacher passed away some time ago I never got to thank her but I’d hope somehow she’d know A kindergarten teacher is an angel in disguise Leading – loving – learned - intelligent and wise If not for kindergarten teachers who knows where we would be Thank your kindergarten teacher, once for you and once for me mdailey
