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!

Thanksgiving Feast


We will be having a Thanksgiving feast in our room on Tuesday, November 25th, 2008, in the afternoon. We are going to make a friendship stew and I will be asking each student to bring something to add to the stew. Please send your child to school with the item that I have requested on Tuesday. We will mix it all together in my crock pot and let it simmer all day until we eat it at snack time. I am looking forward to that delicious smell in here all day long! We have been learning about the first Thanksgiving and are looking forward to our own feast!
