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
The teddy bear clinic was a great success! The children had a great time learning about taking care of themselves, how to call 911 in an emergency and that the doctor really isn't that scary. We did have some beat-up bears, though, and thank goodness for those kind nurses that helped us fix them right up!
