All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom is not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand pile at school.
These are the things I learned:
Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life-learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and work everyday some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out in the world, watch for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere!
Poem by Robert Fulghum
Art is going to get messy this year so, if you have not done so already, please send in an art shirt so we have it for Art class this year. Any old shirt would do, but I have personally found that men's long-sleeved button shirts are the best because the kids can wear them backwards with a couple of buttons in the back holding the shirt together. Once I get all the shirts in, I will send the box to the art room for use this school year!
