I must share some heartfelt goodies
plus an I interesting conversation from my classes.
I was sitting on an inside bench
during lunch. A teacher was taking two kindergarteners to their special session.
The little girl points to me and tells this teacher "She helps me."
The little boy follows with " She helps me, too." I had helped them
today with letter sounds, particularly vowels, and writing the letters C, D,
and G.
Then a class comes in from the
playground and every one of them hugged me on their way back to class, all
while staying in line but deviating directions to include me in their route.
The teacher just smiled so sweetly at me.
In my fourth kindergarten class, a
little doll of a girl comes to stand by me and after a few seconds asks "
Are you an old lady?". I say yes, I guess I am. She asked my age, if I still had my mom
and dad, had kids, and if I had any sisters or brothers. I answered every
question then she smiles and tells me the age of the teacher and goes back to
her table. The inquisitive mind and curiosity of the child was intriguing to
me. We shared smiles during the entire conversation. The timing of her
questions is of equal interest. The teacher had just moments before told her
class that they could ask me questions if they needed help or anything. The
little one availed herself of that opportunity. She was definitely listening
and I'm still smiling.
Adults could learn from these littles
when dealing with or addressing others. Openness. Sincerity. Directness.
Kindness. Caring hearts. Hugs without an agenda or ulterior motives.
Precious moments today, AGAIN.
Memories, too.
