My very favorite job ever was when I taught a three-year-old preschool class. Each morning I welcomed 25 bright-eyed angels and each afternoon I slipped out during nap time leaving their sleepy little heads full of new letters, colors, numbers, etc.
One day after teaching my angels about 9-1-1, Brittany, the pony-tailed class informant came running toward me on the playground yelling at the top of her lungs "Miss Dee! Miss Dee! Ashley fell it's a mergency call 1-9-1!!"
Little kids take what they learn and are ready to use it as soon as possible. They don't analyze, theorize, then disregard in frustration. They trust, absorb and utilize; saving a little time to watch a butterfly or chase a bug along the way. Instead of waiting until I can make everything perfect I need to be a little more like Brittany and run with my new information the first "mergency" I get!
This blog was started when I thought I should be a writer. I no longer think that so this blog is just my little page of thoughts, photos, and the occasional painting.
