- They tell me on a regular basis how beautiful I am. I don't care if they are 5, or 6 or almost 7.....they think I am beautiful! :-)
- When I tell them how smart they are and how great they are going to do in 1st grade, they turn to their neighbor and say...."I'm going to miss Kindergarten". I LOVE it!
- I love being sneezed on, coughed on and bled on. I have seen more buggers, snot and blood than I have in a long time....and yes I DO have 2 children! That says alot!
- I love how they listen and watch in anticipation as I read a story.....even what sometimes seems like the dumbest story ever! :-)
- I sing all day long and they listen, maybe in wonder but I sing goofy songs all day long and they LISTEN! :-)
- I get hugs all day long, even if I've just scolded them! Children are so forgiving, which is the way it should be......
- But most of all I love seeing their faces as you compliment them on their work or as they work so hard on reading or writing.

Mrs. Miller
For the past 6 weeks (approximately), I have been student teaching in a kindergarten classroom here in the D.L. It is fantastic and has been a wonderful experience so far. The children are wild and are a lively bunch most days but here are a few reasons why I LOVE teaching in Kindergarten.

Cand, What a great post! Isn't it just the best profession in the world? Amazingly, some things haven't changed much by the time they hit high school. They're still forgiving (their parents not so much), they still love having a story read or told to them, and they still light up at a compliment. (The boogers, fortunately, they have under control.) You're in the ranks of the truly noble, though. I admire elementary teachers so much... that's where the truly formative power is. I'm too chicken for those grades, so kudos to you. I bet you're doing an amazing job.
oh good for you! i think that kindergarten would be quite tough to do, but you sound like you are genuinely loving it! i hope my kids get a teacher as good as you.
