The Chronicles of a Veteran Kindergarten Teacher

I came back to school today after a very restful week of winter break ready to tackle another week in Kindergarten. When I checked my mail, I saw that I had received a letter from a parent the day we after we got out. The family is originally from England and I love to listen to them talk.

This letter made my spirits soar and reminded me why I love teaching young children so much!!! It makes me feel that I am accomplishing my goal of making learning fun. I will tuck this letter away with the others and cherish it. What a gift!

Dear Mrs B...,



I'm not sure if we have told you lately how wonderful you are!


G... does not go to school everyday, she goes on a learning adventure with the fabulous Mrs. B... and amazing Mrs. K... in their kindergarten world. Her Kindergarten adventures take her into Mrs. B...'s real life shop to learn about money or into the land of Willy Wonka, every learning experience to her is wonderful and because it's so wonderful she learns. G.... sees no obstacles in her path just wonder and excitement. She is loved and cared for, encouraged and nurtured. Thank you for giving G.... every opportunity she could ever wish for.



I can only compare G....'s school start to H....'s and you are head and shoulders above any teacher England has to offer.
Thank you have a fantastic break.


R.... and C..........

Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.
