Kindergarten Mornings

Today is my day to volunteer in my daughter's Kindergarten class. I do math centers with the kids in the morning and get to see them in action. I am constantly amazed at five and six year olds and what they know...

I am also amazed at the teachers! What does it take to be a Kindergarten teacher? Patience? Yes. Lots of it. Skill? Yes. More than one would think. A love of kids? I am quite sure you can't be a good teacher without it! Those kids love their teacher, and it shows. I am so glad that my daughter loves her teacher and likes having me in her classroom. I wonder when the sad day will come when she doesn't want me there. Don't tell me. I don't really want to know!
