It’s May. Teachers are tired. Boxes are being packed, students have endless energy, and summer is slyly smiling, winking.
It’s mid-morning and I’m thrilled to be subbing in Pre-K. I love the littles, although I don’t know if I could handle them full time. I appreciate their honesty, their style, and their frequent hugs. They played hide-and-seek with these boxes and we popped out to “scare” their teachers as they came into the room. They also used markers and stickers to decorate the boxes. Remember when childhood didn’t involve electronics? We rode our bikes and used our imaginations.
Several in this morning’s group were non-verbal, and it made me think about all the other ways we can communicate: eyes, hands, gestures, movements, etc.
It also made me think about getting another degree so I can teach in Special Education. But I am ready to be done with school…for now. Graduation is just around the corner!
