preschool teachers

After visiting a pumpkin farm yesterday with a bunch of 3-5 year-olds, I am convinced that no one deserves heaven more than preschool teachers.

For the past 3 years I have been listening to my nieces rave about their teachers. So much so, Miss Jamie, Miss Erin, Miss Kristen, etc., may as well have honorary seats at family dinner night.

They not only teach the kids about numbers and letters, but also planets and rain forests. (Did you know that Neptune is the windy planet?) They not only let the kids color and paint, but they also put on plays, complete with costumes and video recordings. They not only take them on field trips to pumpkin farms and the zoo, but they also ride the bus with the kids (which officially qualifies them for sainthood!).

And yesterday I'm pretty sure it was one of the teachers who started the straw fight that left us all rolling with laughter as we picked the scratchy stuff out of our hair, shirts, and underwear. Because preschool teachers are fun!

Preschool teachers are patient and kind. They never give up on kids and somehow get them to sit still long enough to learn something new every day. Preschool teachers will protect your kids and respect your kids. And most of all they teach them that learning is fun, regardless of whether learning comes easy or slow.

EMBRACE PRESCHOOL TEACHERS.

Thank you to preschool teachers everywhere for embracing this call. This is not a job that just anyone can do. (I certainly couldn't!) YOU are making a difference!
