Teaching Preschool

I sneeze, and everyone follows suit.
Curiouser and curiouser.
I laugh and half of them laugh.
Two of them pointedly laugh louder after the rest of us quit laughing.
There are always two in every class.
I try to move and step on two of them.
How they magically got under my feet and out of their chairs I cannot say.
Teaching preschoolers is like herding cats.
They are hilarious, and it is a lot of fun, but they are magical.
One second here, the next gone.
I admire anyone who can do this on a regular basis.
If I did this every day I would be taking a nap with them.
Which might not go over well.

(chuckle) My first and favorite year of teaching was second grade. They literally soaked up learning...eager, excited, energetic and, I might add, enterprising! In all my years of teaching, I never found that anywhere else...only in second graders.

My Deb taught Junior High for most of her teaching career. I'm sure she would agree concerning the humor.

I love all ages I think. For a time JUNIOR high was my favorite age due to their enormous capacity for humor.
