Did he have a dream or just make up the story? Very sweet.

That's amazing.

Jesus took the picture! LOL!

Sweet story and from his heart.

Hello Kathy! Its Katie Embry? Have you enjoyed Kindergarten this year? I'm going back to K in the fall. I'm looking forward to it.

Hmmm. #1 -- Always plan more than you think you will need. You usually end up needing it and if you don't stash it away in a sub folder. #2 -- Enlist in volunteers. I did a ton of craft work. I did a letter a week and always had 5 crafts for each letter. (one for each day) But that takes a lot of time cutting and preparing. Find volunteers. #3 -- Don't sweat the small stuff. I tend to be very strict in the classroom, which is not a bad thing. They need to learn how to behave at school and some just need to learn how to act in general. But, ultimately at the end of the day or week or year, if you've done your job well and your kids are reading and making strides, it doesn't matter if "johnny" was talking during centers, or if susie was whispering in the lunch line. I'm sure I could think of a ton more like that, and I bet you could too. :) You got any good advice for me? I may have more experience in Kindergarten but you have more experience in the classroom.

Home safe and sound! Tim is a little under the weather but feeling better. Enjoyed last Sunday evening.

I miss your class.) Even Dillon- or maybe especially Dillon) Maybe this week, I hope.

I haven't! I'll need to look into that. The doctor wants me to get an insane amount of vitamin D... I guess she doesn't trust me to get it on my own :)

(It's okay... she's right.)

Actually, that's the funny part... she didn't tell me to eat differently. She just said I wouldn't get enough anyway so go ahead and supplement. I order vitamins from Nature's Sunshine so I'll probably add that to an order. I'll definitely have to look into the other though!

sorry that I'm just now reading your post. It sounds like teaching can be very rewarding. Kids have such a pure perspective on everything.

Hey Boo!

Hi, kathy. I have been trying to find a place for you this summer.

My mom taught kindergarten once before she got pregnant for my little brother and she said you have to have a ton of patience with the younger children

Be sure you introduce yourself to me. I am still learning people so I sometimes hesiate to introduce myself.

I love this post, that little boys story is so sweet:)

How sweet! that is the reason my sister had taught K for almost 30 years. she loves it too. She keeps telling me to watch what we do, say and everything cause the little ones have no qualms about airing the laundry. Lol should be fun.

Hi! I'm glad you found us! I would love to teach Kindergarten whenever I go back. We had our little boy, Colton, in January!

What do you think of this as a pleo fundraiser for FC. We seem to have problems have an alumni group so why not on pleo, Let me know. Check out this sight for cookbooks. Thanks http://www.fundcraft.com/fc/aboutus.asp Check this out as a possible fundraiser for FC Pleo. (question on FCParents)

No prob. Glad things are going well. Keep in touch!

Have you thought about tapping into the old lady contingent, so that you could help around the house or something?

Or tapping into the person with small children contingent and you could offer them some time off in the afternoons here and there. Just a thought...

Welcome!

Glad you are here!!

Glad to see you finally posted! Welcom to the nast!

Hi Kathy! How are things?

Hey Kathy how are you? I live in Nashville and wouldn't mind you staying but we only have a 1 bedroom apartment...we do have a very comfortable air matress though:) So, if you need to stay with me for a few nights or more let me know.

Welcome!

Can we go after 7? I need to finagle Jenna's schedule a bit and get the other kids set for bed time. Call me this afternoon and we'll plan it. Closer to 7:30 would be better, but I don't want to make it tough for you.

AWESOME that you are here! I so look forward to catching up...:)

Give it to Mom. Thanks.
