My students are adorable. Each time I think the next thing in my life might not be a good fit for me, I find myself in a new situation that in many ways is full of blessings. Teaching preschool has been this way for me. Although I have been a "preschool teacher" since last summer, I am actually teaching 5-year-olds to speak, read, listen and interact in their second language to at least the Kindergarten-1st grade level within months. This is not preschool where you let kids run free with blocks and annoying musical toys; no, this is school where students sit and walk in rows, where their sentences are complete, and where their schedules are planned to the minute. These little minds are so young, so small, so impressionable, and each day they blow me away with their abilities.
Plus, they are so cute!
They are full of energy!
They always work so hard. Look at that coloring!
They pretend they are sleeping so I will come tickle them.
They make funny faces when they are tired of sitting in their chairs.
They are sometimes camera shy.
They are always happy and cheery!
They listen well.
They relax - a little.
They take pride in their work.
They love my camera
They make me laugh daily
In fact, this little one above blew me away with his English on the first day. He even requested his favorite song, which is of course "Pumpkin, Pumpkin." Here he is, for you, singing his song very quickly. :)
And at the end of the day they go home with little backpacks, reminding me of bubble bees.
I am so blessed to have such a lovely group of students.
