My sister Caryl called yesterday evening. She said that for my first day in pre-school I wasn’t to bite, hit, scratch, spit or pinch. Grownups can be such a bummer.
I re-learned my vowels in pre-school today. They go like this:
A is for ack!
E is for eek!
I is for ick!
O is for ow!
U is for ugh!
and ….
Y is for, “You’re kidding, right?”
I could teach you a few songs and dances to do with the pre-schoolers if you like. That’ll keep you occupied long enough to quell the urge to scratch or bite them.
ROFL!!! Sounds like you got some smart pre-schoolers! I’m sure you’ll catch up with them quickly!
Mumma — you’re going to teach me how to sing and dance? Can you teach me to look and sound good while I do it?
Melli — uhm, that’s the teacher’s alphabet!
that’s right, you start from the basics.

“chicken soup with rice”

“in the night kitchen”
duck duck goose
was always a hit
as well as
singing any funny song
at the top of my voice…
Polona — that would be body fluids and all accompanying sounds.
WATO — Duck, Duck Goose is out. We have motor-skills control issues and our social skills would lead us to whapping each other about the head and shoulders. Think Special Ed in Pampers and you’ll have a better grasp of my job. My students are ages 3 & 4.
First, Congratulations on landing the job! Second, good luck! When my daughter was teaching preschool I dropped in once to take pictures of her. They never stopped moving. Even when they were sitting somewhat quietly in chairs…they were still moving.
