I had the joy of working in Jacob's kindergarten classroom today. What fun! I was really excited and a tiny bit nervous. I had worked in his preschool classroom the year before last, and that was fun as well.
After my first day, here are just a few of my observations:
1) I should not be allowed to go near the copy machine.
2) Elementary teachers never get to sit down, or eat, or go to the bathroom.
3) Never underestimate the ability your kindergartener has to sit still - they sit still for LONG periods of time in class and do just fine.
4) It's important to remember how to do the hoky poky, search for bugs, and play duck duck goose!
I loved seeing my boy Jacob playing with his friends, listening to his teachers, and doing quite well! Now I'm off to staple some kindergarten coloring booklets together and make playdough in the microwave.
Lastly, hats off to the four kindergarten teachers at Dry Creek Elementary School - they are awesome!!!
