I spent the afternoon herding cats today

I volunteered in my kindergarten daughter's classroom.

1. I did that last year

the poor woman who taught that class should have been given combat pay.....

2. What they need to do is hire more paras.

6. I loved my kid's kindergarten...

I was just thinking the other day about how much I missed it. If I had to freeze time in one year-long frame, my kid would be 5 forever.

8. Me too. I love my daughter's teacher as well

I have met both of the kindergarten teachers in the school and am SO glad my daughter is in the class she is in.

10. I had my little guy in a co-op kindergarten...

There were only 12 kids in his class; and we all got to know each other so well. Too bad we all went separate ways when our kids went to 1st grade. My son's teacher still watches him on occasion. I really appreciate her input, as we're homeschooling.

I like the Waldorf School concept of having the same teacher work with kids for several years, except in cases where there's a personality clash.
