A couple of preschool stories for you:
Friday was a beautiful day, so before I got my students settled in for their nap, I grabbed a couple of books and their corresponding stuffed animal characters and told the children we were going to have a special story time. The little ones excitedly followed me outside. The children were laughing behind me and the gentle wind was blowing pleasantly as we climbed up a small hill near our classroom door, and suddenly, I had an overwhelming desire to break into "Do Re Mi" from
The Sound of Music. I was Maria, in the hills of Austria, with my precious children skipping behind me. Hard as it was, I suppressed the urge to burst into song as I settled the children in for story time. But a few minutes later, as we were wrapping up, another teacher walked by, and in moments we were regaling the children with "The Hills Are Alive". I'm pretty sure the students were all very impressed.
My 20 year old daughter is home this semester and taking her classes online. She happened to have no classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so she is an aide in our preschool those two days. We share many of the same children, so it's fun to share cute stories about the littles. She shared this one with our whole family:
Child, walking up to my daughter in the gym: Miss A, do you have a broom?
My daughter: Yes, I have one at home.
Child to friend: SEE! I told you she was a witch!
Then the girls skipped off, continuing to discuss their Halloween costumes. 😂
