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.

I love preschool too! I had not taught it for 28 years!

(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.
